Published: June 2022

AbstractInorganic metal halide perovskites have rapidly become one of the most promising materials in the 21st century and have been widely used in the field of photocatalysis in recent years. In this review, the structure of inorganic metal halide perovskite materials and the related preparation methods of inorganic metal halide perovskite materials with CsPbBr3 as an example were first described. The application of different CsPbBr3 composites as photocatalyst in the field of photocatalytic reduction of CO2 was introduced in detail. In addition, the possible challenges of CsPbBr3 in the field of photocatalytic reduction of CO2 are discussed and the application of CsPbBr3 basal photocatalysts in this field is prospected, which provides a new research direction for improving the photocatalytic performance of inorganic metal halide perovskite materials in the future.

AbstractBackgroundBody composition is of clinical importance in colorectal cancer patients, but is rarely assessed because of time‐consuming manual segmentation. We developed and tested BodySegAI, a deep learning‐based software for automated body composition quantification from routinely acquired computed tomography (CT) scans.MethodsA two‐dimensional U‐Net convolutional network was trained on 2989 abdominal CT slices from L2 to S1 to segment skeletal muscle (SM), visceral adipose tissue (VAT), subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), and intermuscular and intramuscular adipose tissue (IMAT). Human ground truth was established by combining segmentations from three human readers. BodySegAI was tested using 154 slices against the human ground truth and compared with a software named AutoMATiCA.ResultsMedian Dice scores for BodySegAI against human ground truth were 0.969, 0.814, 0.986, and 0.990 for SM, IMAT, VAT, and SAT, respectively. The mean differences per slice for SM were −0.09 cm3, IMAT: −0.17 cm3, VAT: −0.12 cm3, and SAT: 0.67 cm3. Median absolute errors for SM, IMAT, VAT, and SAT were 1.35, 10.54, 0.91, and 1.07%, respectively. When analysing different anatomical levels separately, L3 and S1 demonstrated the overall highest and lowest Dice scores, respectively. On average, BodySegAI segmented 148 times faster than human readers (4.9 vs. 726.5 seconds, P < 0.001). Also, BodySegAI presented higher Dice scores for SM, IMAT, SAT, and VAT than AutoMATiCA (slices = 154).ConclusionsBodySegAI rapidly generates excellent segmentation of SM, VAT, and SAT and good segmentation of IMAT in L2 to S1 among colorectal cancer patients and may replace semi‐manual segmentation.
Exploring the moderating effects of corporate social responsibility performance under mimetic pressures. An international analysis

Published: June 2022

AbstractThe purpose of this article is threefold. Firstly, it is aimed at ascertaining whether, in seeking social legitimization, companies disclose CSR information as a response to mimetic pressures. Secondly, it ascertains whether, by seeking economic legitimization, companies with superior CSR performance disclose CSR information to differentiate themselves from low‐performing counterparts. Thirdly, it examines the moderating effects of CSR performance in the relationship between mimetic pressures and CSR disclosure, exploring how the social and economic legitimacy influence in tandem the CSR disclosure. The study is based on a sample of 10,395 firm‐year observations coming from 1,993 international companies that released their CSR report in the 2011–2017 timespan. The results, in addition to demonstrating that both mimetic pressures and CSR performance have a positive bearing on the disclosure of CSR information, suggest that the interaction between mimetic pressures and CSR performance has an additive positive effect on CSR disclosure.
Management plans as resources in conservation conflicts

Published: June 2022

AbstractThis article examines the capacity of management plans to respond to conflicts arising in conservation planning and management. As a widely adopted policy tool for nature conservation, management plans are often prepared in situations with diverging interests. Our starting point is that these plans inevitably influence planning situations, and the conflicts emerging in these situations, even though conflict resolution may not be their primary purpose. Inspired by Lucy Suchman's work on plans in technology development, we analyse the situated effects of four management plans dealing with wildlife and land‐use conflicts. Based on the analysis, we identify features that increase the sensitivity of management plans to power asymmetries in planning situations. We suggest that attentiveness to power effects is a step towards ‘uncomfortable planning’, a principle identified by Rafael Ramirez and Jerome Ravetz to be key in responding to the possibility that plans in uncertain, complex and controversial situations make things worse. Uncomfortable planning seeks to involve the peripheral voices and experiences that plans tend to neglect and that often form the roots of conflicts in planning. Adhering to uncomfortable planning is thus a way to enhance the aptitude of management plans as tools in contentious conservation planning situations.
EphA4 regulates white matter remyelination after ischemic stroke through Ephexin‐1/RhoA/ROCK signaling pathway

Published: June 2022

AbstractIschemic stroke, which accounts for nearly 80% of all strokes, leads to white matter injury and neurobehavioral dysfunction, but relevant therapies to inhibit demyelination or promote remyelination after white matter injury are still unavailable. In this study, the middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R) in vivo and oxygen–glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) in vitro were used to establish the ischemic models. We found that Eph receptor A4 (EphA4) had no effect on the apoptosis of oligodendrocytes using TUNEL staining. In contrast, EphA4 promoted proliferation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs), but reduced the numbers of mature oligodendrocytes and the levels of myelin‐associated proteins (MAG, MOG, and MBP) in the process of remyelination in ischemic models in vivo and in vitro as determined using PDGFRα‐EphA4‐shRNA and LV‐EphA4 treatments. Notably, conditional knockout of EphA4 in OPCs (EphA4fl/fl + AAV‐PDGFRα‐Cre) improved the levels of myelin‐associated proteins and functional recovery following ischemic stroke. In addition, regulation of remyelination by EphA4 was mediated by the Ephexin‐1/RhoA/ROCK signaling pathway. Therefore, EphA4 did not affect oligodendrocyte (OL) apoptosis but regulated white matter remyelination after ischemic stroke through the Ephexin‐1/RhoA/ROCK signaling pathway. EphA4 may provide a novel and effective therapeutic target in clinical practice of ischemic stroke.

Published: June 2022

AbstractBiodiesel is a sustainable, inexpensive, and alternative energy source produced from vegetable oils and animal fats. Precise and authentic identification of oil yielding plant species is very crucial. Therefore, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was employed in our current investigation to study micromorphological characteristics of ten novel oil yielding seeds for their reliable identification. Macromorphological characters of sample seeds were explored by light microscopy. Seed size varied from 16 to 6.2 mm in length and 18.4–4.5 mm in width. Seed shape varied from ovoid to cordial and color from beige to brown. Seed oil content ranged from 25% to 45% (w/w). Whereas free fatty acid (FFA) content of seed oil varied from 0.42 to 3.4 mg KOH/g. Biodiesel potential of Chamaerops humilis was found to be highest (98%) in all. Besides, ultra‐structural observation of seeds demonstrated variation in surface sculpturing which varied from rugous, reticulate, perforate, striate, and webby. Periclinal wall arrangements varied from rough, ridged, depressed, thick and curved whereas, anticlinal walls pattern showed variation from wavy, smooth, raised, deep and depressed. It was ultimately concluded that Scanning electron microscopy could serve as an advanced tool representing hidden ultra‐structural characters of seeds. It offers significant knowledge to researchers and local community for their accurate and genuine identification.Research Highlights

AbstractFirst‐degree relatives of a proband with an inherited cardiac condition (ICC) are offered predictive genetic testing for the pathogenic or likely pathogenic (P/LP) cardiac gene variant (CGV) to clarify their risk for the familial condition. Relatives who test negative for a familial P/LP CGV typically do not require longitudinal cardiac surveillance. To our knowledge, no previous study has investigated adjustment to risk reduction and subsequent screening practices in genotype‐negative relatives from an ICC population. We thus investigated risk perception and ongoing screening practices in genotype‐negative adults who received cardiac genetic counseling. Correlations between clinical and demographic variables and risk perception and screening practices were also investigated. On average, participants (n = 71) reported a perceived 19.5% lifetime risk of developing the ICC in their family, despite their negative genetic test result. The majority (54%) of participants reported having undergone cardiac screening after disclosure of their negative result. There were no significant correlations between clinical and demographic variables and risk perception or screening practices. Furthermore, risk perception was not found to impact the likelihood of cardiac screening. These findings suggest that even with comprehensive cardiac genetic counseling, a proportion of this population did not accurately comprehend or recall their cardiac disease risk. Additional interventions beyond traditional result disclosure should be explored to help genotype‐negative individuals adjust to their reduction in risk for a familial ICC.

AbstractPregnant people are at increased risk of severe illness from SARS‐CoV‐2 infection and are more likely to be admitted to an intensive care unit, be put on a mechanical ventilator, and die, if infected. Having COVID‐19 during pregnancy also increases the risk of preterm delivery. Vaccination is a critical tool for controlling the COVID‐19 pandemic; however, to date, just over 30% of pregnant people in the United States have been vaccinated. It is important to identify any barriers to acceptance of the COVID‐19 vaccine among the pregnant population so that specific hesitancy concerns can be addressed. Our objective was to identify the proportion of pregnant people who are unsure or not planning to be vaccinated against COVID‐19 and collect information about their reasons for hesitancy. A questionnaire examining views on COVID‐19 vaccine interest was administered to 299 pregnant people who contacted MotherToBaby 3/1/21–7/23/21. Questions obtained information about the perception of COVID‐19 risk in pregnancy, interest in receiving a COVID‐19 vaccine while pregnant, and reasons for acceptance or hesitancy. Within the sample, 21% had already been vaccinated against COVID‐19, 43% were planning to get vaccinated, 9% were not planning to receive the vaccine, and 27% were undecided. Women who were not planning to get vaccinated and those that were undecided both said their concern was ‘not enough safety information for pregnancy’. Individuals aged 18–25, those who made less than $50,000/year, and those who lived in the Northeast were more likely to be hesitant. Based on these data, continued efforts to collect and communicate high‐quality and understandable information to pregnant people about vaccine safety should be a key priority in efforts to increase vaccine acceptance among this group.

Published: June 2022

BackgroundThe characteristics of static functional network connectivity (sFNC) and dynamic FNC (dFNC) in neurologically asymptomatic patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis are unknown. Elucidating these characteristics may improve our understanding of the mechanisms of neuropathological damage in these patients.PurposeTo explore the static and dynamic characteristics of FNC in neurologically asymptomatic patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis and the relationship between FNC‐related parameters with the neuropsychological scores and blood biomarkers.Study TypeRetrospective.PopulationA total of 23 neurologically asymptomatic patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis and 25 healthy controls matched for age, sex, and years of education.Field Strength/SequenceA 3.0 T MRI/functional MRI and three‐dimensional‐T1 structural imagingAssessmentIndependent components; spatial map intensity; sFNC and dFNC strengths; and time attribute parameters (mean dwell time, fractional window, and number of transitions) were determined. Neuropsychological tests were performed. Blood biochemical tests were performed for the patients but not healthy controls.Statistical TestsChi‐squared test, one‐sample t‐test, two‐sample t‐test, partial correlation analysis, and family‐wise error and false discovery rate correction. P < 0.05 denoted statistical significance.ResultsSignificant group differences in the strengths of sFNC and dFNC between networks were found. The sFNC strength between the visual and sensorimotor networks was significantly associated with the global cognitive function score (i.e. the Montreal Cognitive Assessment [MoCA]) (r = 0.606). The sFNC strength between the salience and default mode networks was significantly associated with anxiety scores (r = 0.458). In state 1, positive correlations were found between the mean dwell time and backward digital span task score (r = 0.562), fractional window and MoCA score (r = 0.576), and fractional window and backward digital span task score (r = 0.592).Data ConclusionNeurologically asymptomatic patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis had defective sFNC and dFNC. Our results provide a new perspective on the mechanism of neuropathological damage in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis.Evidence Level1Technical EfficacyStage 1

AbstractAimDue to the COVID pandemic and technological innovation, robots gain increasing role in nursing services. While studies investigated negative attitudes of nurses towards robots, we lack an understanding of nurses' preferences about robot characteristics. Our aim was to explore how key robot features compare when weighed together.MethodsCross‐sectional research design based on a conjoint analysis approach. Robot dimensions tested were: (1) communication; (2) look; (3) safety; (4) self‐learning ability; and (5) interactive behaviour. Participants were asked to rank robot profile cards from most to least preferred.ResultsIn order of importance, robot’s ability to learn ranked first followed by behaviour, look, operating safety and communication. Most preferred robot combination was ‘robot responds to commands only, looks like a machine, never misses target, runs programme only and behaves friendly’.ConclusionsRobot self‐learning capacity was least favoured by nurses showing potential fear of robots taking over core nurse competencies.

Published: June 2022

AbstractNorepinephrine (NE), acting as both a neurotransmitter and hormone, plays a significant role in regulating the action of the brain and body. Many studies have demonstrated a strong correlation between mental disorders and aberrant NE levels. Therefore, it is of urgent demand to develop in vivo analytical methods of NE for diagnostic assessment and mechanistic investigations of mental diseases. Herein, we report a 19F MRI probe (NRFP) for sensing and imaging NE, which is constructed by conjugating a gadolinium chelate to a fluorine‐containing moiety through a NE‐responsive aromatic thiocarbonate linkage. The capacity and specificity of NRFP for detecting NE is validated with in vitro detecting/imaging experiments. Furthermore, the feasibility of NRFP for visualizing NE in animals is illustrated by ex vivo and in vivo imaging experiments, demonstrating the promising potential of NRFP for selective detection and specific imaging of NE in deep tissues of living subjects.

AbstractAmphiphilic block copolymer (BCP) thick films with stimuli‐responsive pores are promising candidates for the manufacturing of next‐generation ultrafiltration (UF) membranes since their smart nanochannels facilitates the removal of fouling which is considered as one of the biggest challenges in membrane technology. In this work, a well‐defined polystyrene‐block‐poly(2‐vinylpyridine)‐block‐poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) (PS‐b‐P2VP‐b‐PNIPAM) terpolymer was prepared for the first time via reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer polymerization. The combination of the nonsolvent‐induced phase separation process with a solvent vapor annealing treatment was used to produce nanostructured pH‐ and thermo‐double sensitive ABC‐type BCP thick films. Here, the NIPS‐made PS‐b‐P2VP‐b‐PNIPAM thick film, comprising a microporous spinodal‐type network substructure, topped by a dense thin layer of poorly defined nanopores is transformed into a monolith entirely composed of a well‐ordered perforated lamellar (PL) phase upon exposure to a chloroform vapor during 6 h. Such kind of PL‐structured monoliths, showing a permeance value as high as 18 L h−1 m−2 bar−1 at 46°C and pH = 7 with an excellent temperature cyclability, are highly desired to manufacture smart separation‐based UF materials able to transit their pore state from hydrophilic to hydrophobic (and vice versa), thereby leading to much more efficient detachment of foulants during the cleaning process.

Published: June 2022

AbstractIn the field of chemical science, the development of new drugs, the formation of crystals and molecular clusters, and the optimization of drug safety and efficacy are all closely related to weak molecular interactions. In this paper, the salicylic drugs 4‐aminosalicylic acid (4‐ASA) and 5‐aminosalicylic acid (5‐ASA) are used as the research objects. First, the terahertz (THz) absorption spectra of the two isomers were measured in the range of .4–2.0 THz by terahertz time‐domain spectroscopy (THz‐TDS). Then the unit cells were calculated by using density functional theory (DFT). We found that the characteristic absorption peaks of the experimental spectra were basically consistent with the theoretical calculation. In addition, under the solvent model, the free energy of dissolution and the free energy of the systems were considered and calculated, and the results showed that solvation had a certain influence on the position and intensity of spectral absorption peaks. In order to further explore the origin of the characteristic absorption peaks, the vibrational properties of the unit cell model were analyzed using the potential energy distribution (PED) method. At the same time, the weak interactions of the system were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed by interaction region indicator (IRI) and energy decomposition analysis based on forcefield (EDA‐FF) methods, respectively. The results show that the absorption peaks of 4‐ASA and 5‐ASA are mainly derived from the vibration mode of dihedral angle torsion. The weak interactions in the 4‐ASA are dominated by dispersion, while they are dominated by electrostatic and dispersion in the 5‐ASA. Therefore, it is an effective way to identify isomers and study intermolecular weak interactions by using THz‐TDS combined with PED, IRI, and EDA‐FF.
