Editing a journal at the semiperiphery: Ambivalence of juniority and meaningfulness of publishing
Authors: Karmazin Aleš 
Published: July 2022

Key points
Juniority is a complex category dependent not only on the length of academic career but also cultural and structural factors.
Because of the complexity of defining juniority, it may not be easily changeable to seniority in some situations.
For some journals, even those that are not solely student‐oriented, PhD candidates and other early‐career scholars represent a critical group of contributors.
Fostering a link to junior scholars may be a key journal development strategy, especially for lower‐ranked journals and those looking for fresh ideas and innovation.
Junior journals in politics and international relations: Potential and challenges
Authors: Plancarte‐Escobar Rafael , Steuer Max 
Published: July 2022

Key points
Junior journals occupy an intermediate space between student and senior journals and diversify academic publishing.
Junior journals have the potential to help reduce two undesirable trends in academic publishing: predatory publishing and the absence of diversity.
Some of the practices followed by Politikon: The IAPSS Journal of Political Science could be increasingly employed by senior journals.
To increase the perceived value of involvement in them, junior journals should speak to the needs of academia in general.
The challenges junior journals face with indexing may be alleviated by establishing networks between them or by gaining the support of professional publishers.
Advancing the student‐oriented model of academic publishing: The case of legal studies in Hong Kong
Authors: Lui Wilson 
Published: July 2022

Key points
The Hong Kong Journal of Legal Studies and the City University of Hong Kong Law Review provide valuable case studies of the student‐oriented model in the Hong Kong legal academic publishing context.
The three essential features of student‐oriented publishing are (1) run by students; (2) managed by students; and (3) a focus on the learning experience of student editors and authors.
The recommended features of student‐oriented publishing are (1) peer review by students; and (2) a focus on publication of student‐authored articles.
Student‐oriented publishing encourages students to publish as authors and equips student editors with professional and personal skills.
Student‐oriented law journals benefit both the professional and the academic communities. This is less apparent in Hong Kong due to the local publishing landscape and a weak academic–practice connection.
Student‐oriented publishing can thrive in its own right and is complementary, rather than inferior, to publications run by senior academics and practitioners.

Published: July 2022

AbstractOrganosilicon modified epoxy resin is one of the most widely used ablative coating matrices in the whole aerospace industry. However, most research focuses on the final effect of organosilicon modification, while systematic studies on thermal degradation behavior and mechanism of organosilicon modified epoxy resin are rarely reported. In this work, a heat‐resistant epoxy resin (ES231) is prepared through the condensation reaction between epoxy resin and methylphenyl organosilicon intermediate. The TGA test results show that the integral procedural decomposition temperature (IPDT), the thermal residual weight at 800 °C (R800), and decomposition temperature range all improve under both N2 and air atmospheres after modification. The functional groups variation of polymers and the generated volatile segments during the degradation process are measured by FTIR, TG‐IR, and TG‐MS to investigate the thermal degradation mechanism in detail. Meanwhile, the composition and microstructure of the solid residue after thermal degradation are also systematically studied by SEM, XPS, and Raman spectroscopy. It is expected that this work can provide some theoretical basis and new ideas for designing new heat‐resistant epoxy resin.

AbstractIntroduction/AimsCarpal and cubital tunnel syndrome (CTS, CuTS) are common among patients with hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure‐palsies (HNPP) and Charcot–Marie‐Tooth type 1A (CMT1A) and may impact quality of life. We aimed to evaluate the utility of nerve decompression surgeries in these patients.MethodsMedical records were reviewed for patients with PMP22 mutations confirmed in Mayo Clinic laboratories from January 1999 to December 2020, who had CTS and CuTS and underwent surgical decompression.ResultsCTS occurred in 53.3% of HNPP and 11.5% of CMT1A, while CuTS was present in 43.3% of HNPP and 5.8% of CMT1A patients. CTS decompression occurred in 10‐HNPP and 5‐CMT1A patients, and CuTS decompression with/without transposition was performed in 5‐HNPP and 1‐CMT1A patients. In HNPP, electrodiagnostic studies identified median neuropathy at the wrist in 9/10 patients and ultrasound showed focal enlargements at the carpal and cubital tunnels. In CMT1A, median and ulnar sensory responses were all absent, and the nerves were diffusely enlarged. After CTS surgery, pain, sensory loss, and strength improved in 4/5 CMT1A, and 6/10 HNPP patients. Of clinical, electrophysiologic and ultrasound findings, only activity‐provoked features significantly correlated with CTS surgical benefit in HNPP patients (odds ratio = 117.0:95% confidence interval, 1.94 > 999.99, p = 0.01). One CMT1A and one HNPP patient improved with CuTS surgery while 2 HNPP patients worsened.DiscussionCTS symptom improvement post‐surgery can be seen in CMT1A and (less frequent) in HNPP patients. CuTS surgery commonly worsened course in HNPP. Activity‐provoked symptoms in HNPP best informed benefits from CTS surgery.
Identifying essential nonprofits with a novel NLP Method
Authors: Jones Michael , McCabe Erin , Olson Rebecca 
Published: July 2022

AbstractIn this research note, we propose a classification method for identifying whether a 501c3 nonprofit organization is considered essential for economic recovery. During the first few months of the COVID‐19 pandemic, many nonprofit organizations experienced negative financial effects from the economic recession. While these nonprofits saw increased demand for their services, the weakness in the overall economy led to a decline in donations. Fiscal assistance by local, state, and federal government to essential organizations was a critical element to an economic recovery, and governments needed to prioritize aid to the most essential organizations first. By identifying essential nonprofit organizations in advance, these organizations could quickly and efficiently receive financial assistance. Using descriptive text data provided by Ohio nonprofit organizations in their IRS tax filings, we propose a novel natural language processing (NLP) technique to measure the degree of “essentialness” to a nonprofit's work. We show that our model offers an improvement to the classification system known as the National Taxonomy of Exempt Organizations (NTEE). Our machine learning model is also compared to an independent evaluation of a nonprofit's essentialness produced by human researchers.

AbstractIn this work, four triazole‐based poly(ether‐pyridine)s polymers were synthesized and used as an adsorbent for the removal of phenolic compounds from aqueous solutions. For this purpose, new fluoromonomers containing 1,2,3‐triazole units were prepared by the Cu(I)‐catalyzed 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition reaction and then used for the elaboration of novel poly(ether‐pyridine‐triazole)s (PEPTs) by direct polycondensation with isosorbide and bisphenol A. Chemical structure of fluorinated pyridinic monomers as well as resulting polymers was confirmed by 1H and 19F NMR spectroscopic methods. The thermal behavior of the obtained PEPTs was characterized using differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. Results of sorption showed that polymers can be effectively used as a sorbent for the removal of polar organic pollutants. The isosorbide‐based poly(ether‐pyridine‐triazole) which contains hydrophilic hydroxyl groups as pendants chains (P4) exhibited the highest sorption efficiencies (78%–100% after 1 h). In order to explain the results an adsorption mechanism mainly based on π–π interactions and hydrogen bonding with the pendent groups is proposed.
Real‐time observation of microcrack growth in thin film microtomed from rubber/nanocellulose composite sheets, during tensile deformation

Published: July 2022

AbstractRubber/nanocellulose composite sheets improve tensile properties compared with neat rubber sheets, when nanocellulose materials are suitably compounded with rubber matrices. First, two oven‐dried nanocellulose materials containing different additive components were prepared from nanocellulose/water dispersions, and the oven‐dried nanocellulose‐containing materials were compounded with rubber sheets under high shear forces by using a two‐roll mill. The tensile moduli and strength of the rubber/nanocellulose composite sheets were clearly better than those of the rubber sheet prepared without nanocellulose, while the elongations at break were similar. Thin films were cut from the rubber/nanocellulose composite sheets, and their real‐time tensile deformation processes were observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to understand the time‐dependent patterns of crack propagation, void formations, and fusion between cracks and voids in the composites during tensile deformation. TEM observations showed that the composite sheets consisted of individual rubber/nanocellulose clusters. Voids initially formed inside the rubber/nanocellulose clusters, propagated to form cracks, fused with other voids or secondary cracks. There were slight differences between the crack‐propagation patterns of the two rubber composites, probably because of differences in the morphologies, sizes, distributions, and structures of the rubber/nanocellulose clusters, and surface chemical structures of individual nanocellulose elements between the composites.
Isolation‐oriented Lyapunov‐based design of simultaneous feedback strategies for disease control of SIQR
Authors: Ito Hiroshi 
Published: July 2022

AbstractThis article pursues a new approach to the design of feedback control laws mitigating the spread of human infectious diseases. The control inputs of vaccination, isolation, and outing/gathering regulation are derived as the gradient of a positive definite function of all the population variables of the SIQR model. Lyapunov functions in which susceptible and infected populations are decoupled are known to be non‐self‐sufficient for proving stability of the SIQR model as well as other variants of the SIR model. This fact has been hampering Lyapunov‐based control design of infectious disease models. This article demonstrates that a popular decoupled function can still serve as a control Lyapunov function as long as isolation is made state‐dependent. Techniques realizing this novel idea are presented and shown to allow the Lyapunov function to establish a robustness guarantee in terms of input‐to‐state stability with respect to immigration and newborn perturbation on an arbitrarily large domain. The effectiveness of the proposed simultaneous controller is illustrated through numerical simulations performed with a parameter set of COVID‐19.
A Study on Dye Inclusion Complex, Adsorption, and Kinetic of Silk Floss Sheet Modified with β‐Cyclodextrin as a Biodegradable Adsorbent
Authors: Salimpour Abkenar Samera , Mohammad Ali Malek Reza 
Published: July 2022

AbstractIn this study, the silk floss sheet (SFS) modified with β‐cyclodextrin (β‐CD) is used to adsorb various dyes (anionic: Acid Red 33/ AR33, cationic: Basic Blue 9/ BB9, and non‐ionic: Disperse Yellow 26/ DY26) from colored solutions. The various analyses (fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet‐visible spectroscopy (UV‐Vis), and elemental analysis) are used to study the inclusion complex between β‐CD and the mentioned dyes. In addition, the influence of experimental parameters on the adsorption process (such as dye molecular size, adsorbent dosage, initial dye concentration, contact time, and pH) is assessed. The results show that the molecular size and pH have more effect on the adsorption capacity of SFS. It is found that optimum adsorption of acid and disperse dyes occurrs at pH 4, while basic dye can adsorb at around pH 10. Also, the experimental data have a good fit with the Langmuir equation and the kinetic data can correlate with the second‐order equations. Finally, the desorption studies show that this natural adsorbent can be reused many times without any change in its adsorption capacity.
Chemically Engineered Avenues: Opportunities for Attaining Desired Carrier Cooling in Perovskites

Published: July 2022

AbstractHot carrier extraction‐based devices are presently being persuaded as the most revolutionary means of surpassing the theoretical thermodynamic conversion efficiency limit (∼67 % for a model hot carrier solar cell). However, for practical realisation, there stand various hurdles that need to be surmounted, a major among all being the rapid hot carrier cooling rate. Though, the perovskite family has already demonstrated itself to exhibit slower cooling in contrast to the prototypical semiconductors. Decelerating this entire process of cooling further can prove to be a crucial stride in this regard. Quite contrarily, for the optoelectronic applications the situation is entirely conflicting where quick rate of cooling is a chief prerequisite. In the recent times, there have been various key developments that have targeted altering this cooling rate by various chemically engineered strategies. This review highlights such blueprints that can be utilized towards the advantageous alteration of the carrier cooling in accordance with the device requirements.

Published: July 2022

AbstractUterine torsion is considered an obstetric emergency. In severe cases, it compromises the survival of both the fetus and the dam. The purpose of the current report is to describe uterine torsion in an 8‐year‐old full‐term pregnant Nelore cow, at 275 days of gestation, presenting physiological and behavioural changes for 12 hours. Physical examination revealed tachycardia, tachypnoea and mucoid vaginal discharge. On rectal examination, absent signs of fetal viability, increased ultrasonographic appearance of the uterine wall, separation of its layers and hyperechogenic placentomes showing rough borders were observed. Blood sample evaluation revealed biochemical changes. The postmortem examination confirmed severe uterine torsion with detachment of uterine wall layers and severe subendometrial haemorrhage. Haematology and biochemistry profiles and ultrasonographic findings were helpful in determining the severity of uterine damage. Ultrasound examination is a rapid, non‐invasive and low‐cost procedure that can be used to establish a prognosis while avoiding expensive and unsuccessful therapeutic approaches.

Nutritional Status and the Risk of Preterm Birth
Authors: Gillespie Bronwen 
Published: July 2022

AbstractA woman’s body mass index and nutritional status should be assessed in the antenatal period. The evidence indicates that maternal anemia is a risk factor for preterm birth. Ensuring adequate levels of iron and folic acid is essential for general pregnancy health and outcomes. To reduce the risk of pre-eclampsia, daily calcium supplementation for populations with low dietary calcium intake may be advised, although negative interactions between iron and calcium supplements may occur so these two nutrients should be administered several hours apart. In undernourished populations, balanced energy and protein supplementation should also be recommended for pregnant women (though not specifically linked to a reduction in preterm birth). For populations at risk of vitamin D deficiency, possible benefits for general pregnancy outcomes may be gained from vitamin D supplementation. Where dietary zinc is low, it has been suggested that zinc supplementation may reduce the risk of preterm birth. However, further research is required to clarify the benefits of supplementation. For example, vitamin D in combination with calcium may increase the risk of preterm birth. In the antenatal period, the most important focus should be on promoting a good quality diet in general, rather than a specific supplementation regime.
Video Projection on Transparent Materials

Published: July 2022

AbstractWe propose a new coating for light projection on transparent materials that can open new possibilities for design. What we often struggle with is the lighting of clear glass. By definition, clear glass lets most of the light pass through. We have found a way to turn glass surfaces opaque or transparent by using ultraviolet (UV) fluorescence coating. In combination with a UVA light source, we can project the dynamic content onto a glass surface treated with a special coating that transforms the UVA light into visible light. The added benefit of such a coating is that it can be applied to any organically shaped surface using a spray gun, not just flat surfaces. Another advantage is that the light source is nearly invisible to the human eye, especially with a UV light pass-through filter. We have created a prototype with a modified overhead projector to measure the light characteristics and documented the steps to reproduce our results.
Remote Scientific Conferences After the COVID-19 Pandemic: The Need for Socialization Drives Preferences for Virtual Reality Meetings
Authors: Kopacz Agata , Knapińska Anna , Müller Adam , Banerski Grzegorz , Bohdanowicz Zbigniew 
Published: July 2022

AbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic continues to exert influence on the scientific community: circumstances have forced academics to engage more frequently in technology-mediated activities, including their participation in remote and virtual conferences. In this article, we contemplate immersive virtual environments: we verify researchers’ motivations and constraints in the context of online conferences, and discover in what elements of such conferences researchers wish to participate in virtual reality (VR). A survey was administered using a computer-assisted web interview (CAWI) questionnaire among the sample of 1,575 academics with the POL-on database as the sampling frame. The results indicate that individuals’ contrasting needs and attitudes toward technology determine the degree to which they look favourably upon both remote conferencing and VR. Immersive virtual environments appear to satisfy the need for socialization; ordinary remote conferences fulfil the need for security and the achievement of fundamental conference goals, such as establishing collaboration and publishing research results. Conferences that are hosted remotely must be relevant to the needs of researchers and meet their discrete expectations; only then will such events prove valuable enough that researchers are willing to continue participating in them after the pandemic subsides.

Published: July 2022

AbstractTo understand and begin to address the challenge of air pollution in Europe we conducted participatory research, art and design activities with the residents of one of the areas most affected by smog in Poland. The participatory research events, described in detail in this article, centered around the theme of ecology and served to design an application that would allow us to conduct field research on pro-environmental behaviours at a larger scale. As a result we developed a research application, rooted in local culture and history and place attachment, which makes use of gamification techniques. The application gathers air quality data from the densest network of air pollution sensors in Europe, thereby aligning the visible signs of pollution in the app with the local sensor data. At the same time it reinforces the users’ pro-environmental habits and exposes them to educational messages about air quality and the environment. The data gathered with this application will validate the efficacy of this kind of an intervention in addressing residents’ smog-causing behaviours.
