Published: August 2022

AbstractTwo‐dimensional (2D) Au(I)‐thiolate assemblies are a special type of material that can balance high structural stability and rich surface functionality, which shows promising prospects in both fundamental research and applications. Co‐assembly of multiple ligands is a facile way to further enrich the surface properties and functions, and expand their application potentials. In this work, taking 3‐mercaptopropionic acid (MPA), cysteine (Cys) and 1‐thioglycerol (TGO) as example ligands, we studied in detail the possibility to co‐assemble them into one nanosheet. Although the three ligands have significantly different controllability and pathways when self‐assembling individually with Au(I), they can still be effectively co‐assembled by reacting with HAuCl4 together to obtain three‐ligand nanosheets with good colloidal stability. The key points for successful co‐assembly are also revealed by comparing single‐ and three‐ligand self‐assembly processes, laying a solid foundation for co‐assembly of even more ligands. The easy but powerful strategy for 2D materials with closely‐packed and multiple tunable surface functional groups addresses the surface engineering problem for 2D materials and paves the way for their wider applications in sensing and biomaterials.

Published: August 2022

AbstractNanocellulose has received enormous scientific interest for its abundance, easy manufacturing, biodegradability, and low cost. Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) are ideal candidates to replace plastic coating in the textile and paper industry. Thanks to their capacity to form an interconnected network kept together by hydrogen bonds, nanocelluloses perform an unprecedented strengthening action towards cellulose‐ and other fiber‐based materials. Furthermore, nanocellulose use implies greener application procedures, such as deposition from water. The surface chemistry of nanocellulose plays a pivotal role in influencing the performance of the coating: tailored surface functionalization can introduce several properties, such as gas or grease barrier, hydrophobicity, antibacterial and anti‐UV behavior. This review summarizes recent achievements in the use of nanocellulose for paper and textile coating, evidencing critical aspects of coating performances related to deposition technique, nanocellulose morphology, and surface functionalization. Furthermore, beyond focusing on the aspects strictly related to large‐scale coating applications for paper and textile industries, this review includes recent achievements in the use of nanocellulose coating for the safeguarding of Cultural Heritage, an extremely noble and interesting emerging application of nanocellulose, focusing on consolidation of historical paper and archaeological textile. Finally, nanocellulose use in electronic devices as an electrode modifier is highlighted.

AbstractInvited for this month's cover is the group of Prof. Young‐Woong Suh at Hanyang University, Republic of Korea. The cover picture depicts the conceptual design of plastic manufacture starting from 5‐(chloromethyl)furfural (CMF) generated from raw biomass (rice straw in the picture). The processing is to hydrolyze the CMF to 5‐(hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF) in aqueous medium, followed by catalytic hydrogenation into 2,5‐bis(hydroxymethyl)furan (BHMF). The BHMF can be used as a monomer for plastics including polyurethanes, epoxy resins, and polyesters. More information can be found in the Research Article by Y.‐W. Suh and co‐workers.
Green human resource management, a gateway to employer branding: Mediating role of corporate environmental sustainability and corporate social sustainability

Published: August 2022

AbstractThis study proposes a model based on competitive advantage and signaling theories that show how green human resource management (GHRM) leads to corporate environmental sustainability and corporate social sustainability and is thus source of employer branding. Structural equational modeling was used for data analysis through Smart PLS. The results confirm that GHRM positively influences on corporate environmental sustainability, which in turn positively influences corporate social sustainability. Furthermore, the results confirm that corporate social sustainability has a positive influence on employer branding. The results also support the mediating effects of corporate environmental sustainability between GHRM and corporate social sustainability. Additionally, we show the mediating effect of corporate social sustainability between corporate environmental sustainability and employer branding. In the human resource literature, previous studies emphasize on corporate environmental sustainability. By contrast, this study confirms that a corporate social sustainability is a source of employer branding. By implementing GHRM, organizations can gain a competitive edge, which helps them attract potential employee.

AbstractVery low birth weight (VLBW) infants (<1500 g) are at risk for poor neurodevelopmental outcomes depending on gestational age (GA), birth weight (BW), and morbidity in early life. The contribution of the gut microbiome is not well understood. Stool samples were collected weekly in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) from 24 VLBW infants for 6 weeks after admission and then again at 2 and 4 years of age. The Battelle Development Inventory‐2 Screening Test (BDI‐2 ST) was administered at 2‐ and 4‐year time points. VLBW infants had dysbiotic microbiota in the NICU that progressed for most to an adult‐type microbiota by 4 years of age. The BDI‐2 ST results at age of 2 years triggered referral for further testing in 14 toddlers (70%), and by 4 years of age only seven of these 14 continued to require referral. Both NICU infant stool diversity and particular microbial amplicon sequence variants were associated with BDI‐2 ST subscales, particularly for cognition, adaptive, and communication subscales, when controlled for GA, BW, and antibiotic exposure. Network analysis of the NICU infant stool microbial ecology showed differences in children needing neurodevelopmental referral. The results of this preliminary study indicate that the neonatal gut microbiome plays a role in early cognitive and behavioral neurodevelopment.

AbstractThe Jemez Mountains salamander (Plethodon neomexicanus; hereafter JMS) is an endangered salamander restricted to the Jemez Mountains in north‐central New Mexico, United States. This strictly terrestrial and lungless species requires moist surface conditions for activities such as mating and foraging. Threats to its current habitat include fire suppression and ensuing severe fires, changes in forest composition, habitat fragmentation, and climate change. Forest composition changes resulting from reduced fire frequency and increased tree density suggest that its current aboveground habitat does not mirror its historically successful habitat regime. However, because of its limited habitat area and underground behavior, we hypothesized that geology and topography might play a significant role in the current distribution of the salamander. We modeled the distribution of the JMS using a machine learning algorithm to assess how geology, topography, and climate variables influence its distribution. The best habitat suitability model indicates that geology type and maximum winter temperature (November to March) were most important in predicting the distribution of the salamander (23.5% and 50.3% permutation importance, respectively). Minimum winter temperature was also an important variable (21.4%), suggesting this also plays a role in salamander habitat. Our habitat suitability map reveals low uncertainty in model predictions, and we found slight discrepancies between the designated critical habitat and the most suitable areas for the JMS. Because geological features are important to its distribution, we recommend that geological and topographical data are considered, both during survey design and in the description of localities of JMS records once detected.

AbstractThe Chauvet‐Pont‐d'Arc Cave (Ardèche, France) contains some of the oldest Paleolithic paintings recorded to date, as well as thousands of bones of the extinct cave bear, and some remains and footprints of other animals. As part of the interdisciplinary research project devoted to this reference cave site, we analyzed a coprolite collected within the deep cave. AMS radiocarbon dating of bone fragments from the coprolite yielded an age of 30,450 ± 550 RC yr. BP (AAR‐19656; 36,150–34,000 cal BP), similar to ages assigned to Paleolithic artwork and cave bear remains from the same cave sector. Using high‐throughput shotgun DNA sequencing, we demonstrated a high abundance of canid DNA and lesser amounts of DNA from the extinct cave bear. We interpret the sample as feces from a canid that had consumed cave bear tissue. The high amount of canid DNA allowed us to reconstruct a complete canid mitochondrial genome sequence (average coverage: 83×) belonging to a deeply divergent clade of extinct mitochondrial wolf lineages that are most closely related to coeval (~35 ka) Belgian wolves. Analysis of the nuclear genome yielded a similar coverage for the X chromosome (2.4×) and the autosomes (range: 2.3–3.2×), indicating that the Chauvet canid was a female. Comparing the relationship of the nuclear genome of this specimen with that of a variety of canids, we found it more closely related to gray wolves' genomes than to other wild canid or dog genomes, especially wolf genomes from Europe and the Middle East. We conclude that the coprolite is feces from an animal within an extinct wolf lineage. The consumption of cave bear by this wolf likely explains its intrusion into the dark cave sectors and sheds new light on the paleoecology of a major cave site.

AbstractEvaluating temporal trends in habitat and behavioral responses is critical for conservation, yet long‐term monitoring studies are rare. We used a 35‐year dataset (1982–2017) to assess multiscale habitat use and selection by an endangered carnivore, the ocelot (Leopardus pardalis), in South Texas, USA. We used a time series of remotely sensed imagery to map changes in availability of woody cover, habitat critical to ocelots that has diminished due to anthropogenic development and increased road infrastructure. Our objectives were to characterize habitat relationships, predict high‐quality habitat, and assess behavior with changing environmental conditions. We fit functional response (third order) and individual‐specific resource selection (second order) functions to assess multiscale habitat use of vegetation cover and roads. Within home ranges, ocelots used woody cover greater than availability. Ocelots used areas near roads in proportion to availability, with minor exceptions. We observed changes in habitat use by ocelots across time with higher proportions of woody and non‐woody cover used in later time periods. Average availability of woody cover decreased in the study area between the 1980s and 2010s (0.44 in 1985 to 0.39 in 2015, p < 0.001), and ocelots used areas with a higher proportion of woody cover (≥0.48) farther from high‐traffic roads compared to availability. High‐quality ocelot habitat was consistently predicted in areas with high proportions of woody cover, while areas closer to high‐traffic roads were consistently predicted as non‐habitat. The extent of predicted habitat never exceeded 47% (1515 km2) of the study area, illustrating the confined nature of ocelot habitat. Our assessment of multiscale habitat use demonstrated that higher order selection processes likely truncate resource gradients within home ranges. Ocelots did not avoid roads as expected within home ranges, which is a likely mechanism for vehicle‐induced mortality. Private lands contained ≥79% of predicted high‐quality habitat over time. Therefore, the future of ocelots in the United States relies on private land stewardship. Insights gained from these analyses can advance habitat conservation and mitigation of road mortality for ocelot populations.

AbstractAimsThe role of sex in determining the profile and the outcomes of patients with myocarditis is largely unexplored. We evaluated the impact of sex as a modifier factor in the clinical characterization and natural history of patients with definite diagnosis of myocarditis.Methods and resultsWe retrospectively analysed a single‐centre cohort of consecutive patients with definite diagnosis of myocarditis (i.e. endomyocardial biopsy or cardiac magnetic resonance proven). Specific sub‐analyses were performed in cohorts of patients with chest pain, ventricular arrhythmias, and heart failure as different main symptoms at presentation. The primary outcome measure was a composite of all‐cause mortality or heart transplantation (HTx). We included 312 patients, of which 211, 68% of the whole population, were males. Despite no clinically relevant differences found at baseline presentation, males had a higher indexed left ventricular end‐diastolic volume (62 ± 23 mL/m2 vs. 52 ± 20 mL/m2, P = 0.011 in males vs. females, respectively) at follow‐up evaluation. At a median follow‐up of 72 months, 36 (17%) males vs. 8 (8%) females experienced death or HTx (P = 0.033). Male sex emerged as predictors of all‐cause mortality or HTx in every combination of covariates (HR 2.600; 1.163–5.809; P = 0.020). Results were agreeable regardless of the main symptom of presentation.ConclusionsIn a large cohort of patients with definite diagnosis of myocarditis, females experienced a more favourable long‐term prognosis than males, despite a similar clinical profile at presentation.

AbstractAimsPre‐clinical congestion markers of worsening heart failure (HF) can be monitored by devices and may support the management of patients with HF. We aimed to assess whether congestion‐guided HF management according to device‐based remote monitoring strategies is more effective than standard therapy.Methods and resultsA comprehensive literature research for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing device‐based remote monitoring strategies for congestion‐guided HF management versus standard therapy was performed on PubMed, Embase, and CENTRAL databases. Incidence rate ratios (IRRs) and associated 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using the Poisson regression model with random study effects. The primary outcome was a composite of all‐cause death and HF hospitalizations. Secondary endpoints included the individual components of the primary outcome. A total of 4347 patients from eight RCTs were included. Findings varied according to the type of parameters monitored. Compared with standard therapy, haemodynamic‐guided strategy (4 trials, 2224 patients, 12‐month follow‐up) reduced the risk of the primary composite outcome (IRR 0.79, 95% CI 0.70–0.89) and HF hospitalizations (IRR 0.76, 95% CI 0.67–0.86), without a significant impact on all‐cause death (IRR 0.93, 95% CI 0.72–1.21). In contrast, impedance‐guided strategy (4 trials, 2123 patients, 19‐month follow‐up) did not provide significant benefits.ConclusionHaemodynamic‐guided HF management is associated with better clinical outcomes as compared to standard clinical care.

Published: August 2022

ABSTRACTAimIntrinsic renal sodium avidity (IRSA) is a hallmark feature of acute heart failure (AHF) and can be measured by evaluating the urinary sodium (UNa) concentration. The aim of this study is to assess the role of measuring IRSA through a random Una‐sample and its association with decongestive response.Methods and resultsA post‐hoc analysis of the ROSE‐AHF trial was performed in all patients with a random UNa spot sample before randomization (n = 339/360). Patients were categorized according to tertiles of UNa as high (range 19–40 mmol/L), intermediate (range 41–68 mmol/L), or low (range 69–139 mmol/L) IRSA. Linear mixed effect models and ANCOVA were used to assess the relation with decongestive effectiveness measured by: (i) weight change, (ii) visual analogue scale (VAS) improvement, (iii) N‐terminal pro‐B‐type natriuretic peptide (NT‐proBNP) change, (iv) natriuretic response (UNa in mmol/L), (v) 72 h natriuresis (mmol), (vi) oedema resolution, and (vii) length of stay. High IRSA patients had less improvement in decongestive metrics, including weight loss (p = 0.028), VAS improvement, NT‐proBNP decrease, natriuretic response (p‐time interaction <0.001 for all), had lower total natriuresis (high IRSA 438 ± 141 mmol, intermediate IRSA 526 ± 320 mmol, and low IRSA 603 ± 276 mmol; p < 0.001), exhibited more oedema at 72 h (p = 0.005), and had a longer length of stay (p = 0.015). Incremental loop diuretic dose titration (± 4 times home dose) after >24 h, resulted in an increase in natriuretic response in the high IRSA group, however cumulative natriuresis still remained lower at 72 h (p < 0.001). Longitudinal UNa profiling of patients with low IRSA showed physiologic breaking in the UNa pattern, associated with attaining decongestion and slight increase in creatinine and cystatin C, forming a potential signal of complete decongestion.ConclusionsA simple random UNa sample at the time of AHF, gives insight into IRSA which is consistently associated with decongestive effectiveness across multiple metrics, offering an opportunity for early AHF care improvement.

AbstractAnalyzing the relationship between Internet attention and teaching research can provide a reference for extracting and identifying research hot spots in the discipline. Currently, many kinds of literature obtain social hot‐spot information based on a single platform, such as the Baidu Index, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Web of Science. Still, they ignore the common information reflected between the Baidu Index platform and the professional academic platform and the lack of relationship demonstration between them. Therefore, based on the CNKI database and Baidu Index platform, the most critical data statistical analysis service platform in the Internet era, this article proposes a relationship modeling and prediction framework (RMPF). First, RMPF analyzes the relationship between public attention and teaching research from the perspective of “high school information technology” by word frequency analysis and Pearson. Second, RMPF constructs the relationship model between them using leave‐one‐out cross‐validation. Third, RMPF predicts the development of subject teaching and research using the autoregressive integrated moving average model and multiple regressions. The results show that the correlation coefficient between public attention and teaching research is more than 0.65 from the perspective of “high school information technology,” showing a strong positive correlation. In recent years, the focus of high school information technology discipline tends to be integrating multimedia technology, cloud classroom, artificial intelligence, and other technologies and disciplines. In addition, discipline literature volume growth will slow in the next 2 years, with an average annual publication of 350 articles. The overall number of literature decreased by about 120 compared with 2020. Based on the proposed RMPF, this study clarifies the relationship between subject attention and teaching research through experimental demonstration and provides an implementation framework reference for researchers of relevant literature.
