Strong, transparent composites based on glass‐fiber textile and a polycarbonate–polycaprolactone blend with matching refractive indices
Authors: Hirai Takayuki , Muraoka Yoshimi , Okamoto Hirotaka 
Published: July 2022

AbstractComposites are being researched as lightweight, thermal‐insulating alternatives to glass; however, composite materials are generally opaque. In this study, a transparent composite is developed based on E‐glass fiber and a polymer blend by matching their refractive indices. To avoid the opacity caused by phase separation, a polymer blend featuring highly miscible polycarbonate (PC) and polycaprolactone (PCL) is used as the matrix of the composite. The refractive indices of PC and PCL are higher and lower, respectively, than that of E‐glass fiber; thus, the refractive index of a PC–PCL blend can be matched with that of E‐glass fiber by optimizing its composition (PC:PCL weight ratio). Moreover, the crystallization of PCL in a PC–PCL blend is inhibited by the incorporation of sufficient PC, eliminating the light scattering associated with crystalline PCL. The transparency of the proposed composite based on E‐glass fiber and a PC–PCL blend is optimal at a PC:PCL weight ratio of 65:35. Furthermore, the impregnation of a glass‐fiber textile with a PC–PCL blend with a PC:PCL weight ratio of 65:35 under evacuated conditions produces a strong, transparent composite with tensile and impact strengths that exceed those of PC and a corresponding short glass fiber–reinforced composite.

Abstract

Hydrological connectivity is a basic feature of river ecosystems, responsible for important ecological processes. Human activities, however, have progressively modified natural connectivity, threatening the maintenance of aquatic biodiversity.
Neotropical potamodromous fish depend heavily on fluvial connectivity to complete their life cycles. However, important ecological aspects remain poorly understood, especially in river systems with limited floodplain development (i.e. channelized rivers and drylands), where the environment poses constraints to fish recruitment. The Uruguay River Basin is such a system, with several migratory fish, small floodplain areas, and limited information about recruitment dynamics and nursery grounds.
The lack of information on critical habitats limits conservation and management actions, especially in scenarios of increasing environmental degradation and river regulation. This study investigated recruitment dynamics of migratory fishes in the Middle Uruguay River, a long fluvial segment targeted for hydropower development. The study investigated spatial variations in the abundance, composition and size structure of juvenile fish among different sites along an extensive fluvial gradient (ca. 650 km), comparing the main channel with tributaries.
Juveniles of migratory fish were widely distributed in the region, totalling nine species, with a predominance of Characiformes. Spatial distribution was variable among species and size classes, with a differential use of tributaries, wetlands and the main channel. Juvenile composition differed between sampling sites and environments, and was correlated with different limnological and spatial variables. Greater abundances occurred in the mouth of a tributary where a small floodplain develops during the wet season.
The results emphasize the importance of fluvial connectivity for fish migration, dispersal and recruitment, providing valuable information about migratory fishes in river systems with limited wetland development. These findings have significance for the management and conservation of migratory fish under scenarios of hydropower expansion, as comprehensive studies on recruitment are rare in free‐flowing rivers.

Abstract

The Phu Quoc marine protected area (MPA) is a multiple‐use MPA that was established in 2007 and is a component of Vietnam’s National MPA System. The MPA is divided into two spatially separated zones based on habitat type: a seagrass zone and a coral reef zone.
In this study, visual census data were collected in 2018–2019 and were used to derive fish biomass and community diversity metrics as proxies for ecosystem condition and function (trophic and mobility). The effectiveness of the MPA in protecting fish communities in the seagrass and coral reef zones was evaluated. An updated characterization of the Phu Quoc fish communities, and an assessment of fish community variation among regions and between habitat types, is provided.
In total, 125 species representing 74 genera of 40 families were recorded. Omnivores were the most abundant (38%), followed by planktivores (24%), whereas piscivores (2%) were scarce. There was an especially low density of high‐value fishery target species such as Haemulidae (<0.01%), Carangidae (<0.2%), Lethrinidae (<0.3%), Lutjanidae (<0.4%), Serranidae (<2%), and Chaetodontidae (<3%). Alarmingly, fishes with a total length of >20 cm only accounted for 1% of the total individuals. Species and functional composition were similar between protected and unprotected areas but differed among regions and between habitats.
These results suggest that the protection of fishes provided by Phu Quoc MPA at the time of this study was ineffective. The taxonomic composition of fish communities has remained relatively unchanged over the last approximately 25 years, with the density of large fishes and commercial species remaining low. There is capacity to improve MPA performance by providing adequate resources for threat management and using evidence‐based decision‐making in management. The 2020 rezoning and expansion of the Phu Quoc MPA is discussed with regards to prioritizing biodiversity and coverage targets.
Accessing and preserving information: CombiningICT4Dand archival science to empower marginalized communities
Authors: Frings‐Hessami Viviane , Oliver Gillian 
Published: July 2022

AbstractInformation and communication technology for development (ICT4D) is a field of research concerned with studying how information and communication technologies (ICTs) can be used to improve the socio‐economic situation of marginalized communities in developing countries. The authors identify the preservation of the information provided or accessed during ICT4D projects as a critical gap in ICT4D research. They argue that archival science, an information discipline concerned with the preservation of recorded information, provides theories and models that can help make ICT4D projects more sustainable. They discuss the creation of analog backups by participants in an ICT4D project in Bangladesh as an example of communities taking the initiative to remedy the limitations of an ICT4D project with simple pen and paper technology to preserve the information they wanted to keep. Conversely, they argue that insights on how marginalized communities interact with and preserve information gained through ICT4D projects can enrich archival science and foster the development of more inclusive theories and practices. Finally, they suggest areas for interdisciplinary research between ICT4D and archival science.

Published: July 2022

AbstractEnvironmental issues have gauged the attention of marketers and researchers all around the world. Automobile industry has a major environmental impact due to fuel consumption and emissions. A threadbare understanding of the automobile buyer is necessary to better connect with consumers with changing lifestyles, attitudes, and personalities, basically to cater to their sensibilities and psyche, gradually accommodating contemporary environmental viewpoints. Marketers have religiously focused upon studying the car buying behavior and its links with lifestyles. The present study aims to offer a preview of the relationship between lifestyles and ecological behavior among urban car consumers in an emerging economy like India. The findings of the study suggest factors like need for achievement, need for uniqueness, price consciousness, and need for status affect the ecological behavior of the Indian car buyers.

AbstractTissue engineering (TE) is currently considered a cutting‐edge discipline that offers the potential for developing treatments for health conditions that negatively affect the quality of life. This interdisciplinary field typically involves the combination of cells, scaffolds, and appropriate induction factors for the regeneration and repair of damaged tissue. Cell fate decisions, such as survival, proliferation, or differentiation, critically depend on various biochemical and biophysical factors provided by the extracellular environment during developmental, physiological, and pathological processes. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms of action of these factors is critical to accurately mimic the complex architecture of the extracellular environment of living tissues and improve the efficiency of TE approaches. In this review, we recapitulate the effects that biochemical and biophysical induction factors have on various aspects of cell fate. While the role of biochemical factors, such as growth factors, small molecules, extracellular matrix (ECM) components, and cytokines, has been extensively studied in the context of TE applications, it is only recently that we have begun to understand the effects of biophysical signals such as surface topography, mechanical, and electrical signals. These biophysical cues could provide a more robust set of stimuli to manipulate cell signaling pathways during the formation of the engineered tissue. Furthermore, the simultaneous application of different types of signals appears to elicit synergistic responses that are likely to improve functional outcomes, which could help translate results into successful clinical therapies in the future.

AbstractAfter several billions of years, nature still makes decisions on its own to identify, develop, and direct the most effective material for phenomena/challenges faced. Likewise, and inspired by the nature, we learned how to take steps in developing new technologies and materials innovations. Wet and strong adhesion by Mytilidae mussels (among which Mytilus edulis—blue mussel and Mytilus californianus—California mussel are the most well‐known species) has been an inspiration in developing advanced adhesives for the moist condition. The wet adhesion phenomenon is significant in designing tissue adhesives and surgical sealants. However, a deep understanding of engaged chemical moieties, microenvironmental conditions of secreted proteins, and other contributing mechanisms for outstanding wet adhesion mussels are essential for the optimal design of wet glues. In this review, all aspects of wet adhesion of Mytilidae mussels, as well as different strategies needed for designing and fabricating wet adhesives are discussed from a chemistry point of view. Developed muscle‐inspired chemistry is a versatile technique when designing not only wet adhesive, but also, in several more applications, especially in the bioengineering area. The applications of muscle‐inspired biomaterials in various medical applications are summarized for future developments in the field.

AbstractAn ideal tissue‐engineered dermal substitute should possess angiogenesis potential to promote wound healing, antibacterial activity to relieve the bacterial burden on skin, as well as sufficient porosity for air and moisture exchange. In light of this, a glass–ceramic (GC) has been incorporated into chitosan and gelatin electrospun nanofibers (240–360 nm), which MEFs were loaded on it for healing acceleration. The GC was doped with silver to improve the antibacterial activity. The bioactive nanofibrous scaffolds demonstrated antibacterial and superior antibiofilm activities against Gram‐negative and Gram‐positive bacteria. The nanofibrous scaffolds were biocompatible, hemocompatible, and promoted cell attachment and proliferation. Nanofibrous skin substitutes with or without Ag‐doped GC nanoparticles did not induce an inflammatory response and attenuated LPS‐induced interleukin‐6 release by dendritic cells. The rate of biodegradation of the nanocomposite was similar to the rate of skin regeneration under in vivo conditions. Histopathological evaluation of full‐thickness excisional wounds in BALB/c mice treated with mouse embryonic fibroblasts‐loaded nanofibrous scaffolds showed enhanced angiogenesis, and collagen synthesis as well as regeneration of the sebaceous glands and hair follicles in vivo.

AbstractAnatomical studies of the parotid gland are important for mid‐ and lower face filler, botulinum toxin, and thread lifting procedures. The purpose of this study was to observe the topographic anatomy of the parotid gland using cadaveric dissections. The superficial lobe of the parotid gland was studied in 30 hemisected heads. Reference lines were made on the lateral aspect of the face. A reference line (the line connecting the mandibular angle to the upper margin of the zygomatic arch, along the posterior border of the ramus) was divided into four sections (P1, P2, P3, and P4). The superior, inferior, anterior, and posterior borders of the parotid gland were measured using the reference lines and sections. Using these measurements, we categorized the superficial lobe of the parotid gland into two types: type Ia, pistol‐shaped; Ib, pistol‐shaped with an accessory lobe; and type II, oval‐shaped. The superior border of the parotid gland started just below the inferior margin of the zygomatic arch. The parotid gland covered the posterior part of the masseter muscle near P1 and P2, but at P3 and below P3, the tail of the parotid gland was located posterior to the ramus and covered the anterior part of the sternocleidomastoid muscle. The topographic anatomy of the parotid gland serves as a reliable reference for esthetic procedures in the lower face and neck region.

AbstractBackgroundAdolescents and young adults (AYAs) diagnosed with cancer fulfill their cancer‐related information needs often via the Internet. Healthcare professionals (HCPs) have a crucial role in guiding patients in finding appropriate online information and eHealth sources, a role that is often overlooked. Misperceptions of AYAs' needs by HCPs may lead to suboptimal guidance. We aimed to examine the extent to which AYAs' online information and eHealth needs corresponded with HCPs' perceptions of these needs.MethodsTwo cross‐sectional online surveys (AYAs, n = 299; HCP, n = 80) on online information and eHealth needs were conducted. HCPs provided indications of their perceptions of AYA's needs.ResultsAYAs reported significantly more online information needs compared with HCPs' perceptions regarding: survival rates (AYA = 69%, HCP = 35%, p < 0.001), treatment guidelines (AYA = 65%, HCP = 41%, p < 0.001), return of cancer (AYA = 76%, HCP = 59%, p = 0.004), “what can I do myself” (AYA = 68%, HCP = 54%, p = 0.029), and metastases (AYA = 64%, HCP = 50%, p = 0.040). Significantly more unmet eHealth needs were reported by AYAs compared with HCPs relating to access to own test results (AYA = 25, HCP = 0%, p < 0.001), request tests (AYA = 30%, HCP = 7%, p < 0.001), medical information (AYA = 22%, HCP = 0%, p = 0.001), e‐consult with nurses (AYA = 30%, HCP = 10%, p < 0.001), e‐consult with physicians (AYA = 38%, HCP = 13%, p = 0.001), and request prescriptions (AYA = 33%, HCP = 21%, p = 0.009).ConclusionAYAs' online information and eHealth needs are partially discrepant with the impression HCPs have, which could result in insufficient guidance related to AYAs' needs. AYAs and HCPs should get guidance regarding where to find optimal information in a language they understand. This may contribute to AYAs' access, understanding, and satisfaction regarding online information and eHealth.

AbstractBackgroundNivolumab at a dose of 480 mg every 4 weeks (Q4W) is approved for the adjuvant treatment of melanoma. However, real‐world data on this regimen are limited in this setting.MethodsThis retrospective observational study utilized data from the US Oncology Network iKnowMed electronic health record database and patient medical charts. Eligible patients were diagnosed with melanoma and received adjuvant nivolumab monotherapy from March to August 2018. Patients were grouped by dosing regimen: cohort 1 (C1), de novo nivolumab 480 mg Q4W; cohort 2 (C2), switched to nivolumab 480 mg Q4W after nivolumab 240 mg or 3 mg/kg every 2 weeks (Q2W); cohort 3 (C3), de novo nivolumab 3 mg/kg Q2W; or cohort 4 (C4), de novo nivolumab 240 mg Q2W. Patients were followed for up to 12 months. Duration of therapy and safety/tolerability were assessed.ResultsOne hundred ninety‐one patients were included (C1, n = 40; C2, n = 74; C3, n = 22; C4, n = 55). Duration of therapy was relatively consistent across cohorts (median, 10.3 months; range, 8.3–10.7). Likewise, proportions of patients experiencing treatment‐related adverse events (TRAEs) were similar (range, 54.5%–60.1%), as were the most common events (fatigue, rash, diarrhea, hypothyroidism, nausea, and pruritus). However, proportions experiencing ‘significant’ TRAEs varied between cohorts. Proportions discontinuing treatment were relatively consistent across cohorts. Propensity score matching and sensitivity analyses generally supported the unadjusted findings.ConclusionsReal‐world safety profiles of nivolumab 240 mg Q2W and 480 mg Q4W were similar, and both were comparable to the well‐documented safety of weight‐based dosing (3 mg/kg Q2W), further supporting their approval and use in the adjuvant setting for melanoma.
Recontextualising moral injury among military veterans: An integrative theoretical review
Authors: Hollis Jake , Hanna Paul , Perman Gemma 
Published: July 2022

AbstractMoral injury was originally conceived as a socially‐inflicted wound of betrayal experienced by military veterans (Shay, 1994). However, moral injury has since been redefined by psychological researchers as an individualised, predominantly perpetration‐driven, and psychopathological phenomenon (e.g., Currier et al., 2015; Jinkerson, 2016). However, social scientific researchers (e.g., Hodgson & Carey, 2017; Molendijk, 2019; Wiinikka‐Lydon, 2017) have contested mainstream psychology's medicalisation and decontextualisation of moral injury. This theoretical review integrates insights from across these discourses, and brings them into dialogue with ideas from moral psychology, evolutionary science, and community psychology. The aim of this cross‐disciplinary review is to promote a more holistic understanding of moral injury that does justice to its individualandsocial dimensions. Drawing on these different theoretical strands, this paper proposes that moral injury can be best understood as a psychological wound to basic human needs for social belonging and cohesion. The implications of this integrative understanding of moral injury for applied psychologists and other societal actors are explored. While the relevance of moral injury to civilian populations such as health and social care professionals is clear (e.g., Dombo et al., 2013; French et al., 2021), this paper focuses on military veterans, whose experiences originally prompted the coinage of the term.

AbstractThe growing demand for energy resources and the increase in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions has given biofuels a lot of attention. Liquid biofuels can be a significant alternative for the transport sector. Generally, biofuels are categorized into four generations based on the feedstock. This review reports the availability, economic feasibility, and potential of biofuel feedstock in global scenario. Feedstock for first‐generation biofuel comprises edible resources impacting the food supply. Second generation biofuels are based on different residual materials and nonedible fuel crops. Cost and technological limitations for commercialization hinders this option. Microalgae are the feedstock for third generation biofuels providing the highest yield compared to the other two generations. A scale‐up to commercial level is not possible as this requires further development. Genetically modified microorganisms are used as a feedstock for fourth generation biofuel production with the highest possible yield. Third and fourth generation biofuels have potential to replace fossil fuels. This review recommends certain suggestions for sustainable biofuel production.

AbstractA mathematical model is proposed to optimize a two‐stage separation cyclone. The model combines the discrete phase model, multi‐objective genetic algorithm, and response surface model. The model was validated by experimental data with an average deviation of 9.87 %. The effects of three structural parameters on the comprehensive performance of this cyclone are discussed. By applying a central composite design method, the cyclone was optimized and three optimal designs were obtained, with an average pressure drop reduction of 6.05 %, and 2.34‐fold improvement in separation efficiency over the original design. The proposed model and results are of great significance for the further design of this type of cyclone.
