description: Viscosities of KCl, NaCl, NaI, KNO3, LiNO3, NaBPh4 and Bu4NI solutions (from ~0.01 M to ~0.05 M) in water (1) + propan-2-ol) (2) binary mixtures with mole fractions of propan-2-ol, x2 = 0.01, 0.02, 0.05, 0.075, 0.10 and 0.15, were determined at 298. 15 K. The relative viscosity data have been analysed and interpreted in terms of the Jones–Dole equation, ηr = A∙c1/2 + B∙c. The obtained results allowed to determine the values of B± coefficients for individual ions using the assumption about the equality . All the results presented in this article have been discussed in terms of ion–solvent interactions.

description: Insect pollination in basal angiosperms is assumed to mostly involve ‘generalized' insects looking for food, but direct observation of ANITA grade (283 species) pollinators are sparse. We present new data for numerous Schisandraceae, the largest ANITA family, from fieldwork, nocturnal filming, electron microscopy, barcoding and molecular clocks to infer pollinator/plant interactions over multiple years at sites throughout China to test the extent of pollinator specificity. Schisandraceae are pollinated by nocturnal gall midges that lay eggs in the flowers and whose larvae then feed on floral exudates. At least three Schisandraceae have shifted to beetle pollination. Pollination by a single midge species predominates, but one species was pollinated by different species at three locations and one by two at the same location. Based on molecular clocks, gall midges and Schisandraceae may have interacted since at least the Early Miocene. Combining these data with a review of all published ANITA pollination data shows that ovipositing flies are the most common pollinators of living representatives of the ANITA grade. Compared to food reward-based pollination, oviposition-based systems are less wasteful of plant gametes because (i) none are eaten and (ii) female insects with herbivorous larvae reliably visit conspecific flowers.

description: In modelling, the dynamics of infectious disease, the choice of the specific mathematical formulation of disease transmission (i.e. the incidence function) is one of the initial assumptions to be made. While inconsequential in many situations, we show that the incidence function can have an effect on the existence of backward bifurcation (the phenomenon where a disease can persist even when the basic reproductive number is less than 1). More specifically, we compare mass action (MA) and standard incidence (SI) (the most common incidence functions) versions of two hallmark models in the backward bifurcation literature and an original combination model. Our findings indicate that the SI formation of disease transmission is more conducive to backward bifurcation than MA, a trend seen in all the models analysed.

description: Analyzed here are responses to a U.S. Census Bureau survey of U.S. businesses to provide a snapshot regarding the changing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on business activity. The analysis focused on small agricultural processing and marketing firms. The small business pulse survey is being conducted for nonfarm, single-location employment businesses with at least one but less than 500 employers and with annual receipts of at least $1,000. The sampled businesses include all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. While the survey has been conducted on a weekly basis since April 26 (U.S. Census Bureau, 2020), the emphasis here is on data originally analyzed in Hughes (2020) for the week of May 17-23, 2020, versus data for the week of June 21-27, 2020 (the latter being the most recently reported data at the time of this publication). While the survey asked several questions, all reported values are for a single question: “Overall, how has this business been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic?” As in the earlier study, the discussion is limited to sectors that process or market agricultural products in either the food (e.g., food manufacturers or grocery stores) or nonfood (e.g., textile mills or paper manufacturers) areas. For comparison, the impact across all surveyed businesses for both periods is also reported. This document is organized as follows. First, the June 21-27 survey results are analyzed with the emphasis on how sectors involved in processing or marketing agricultural products compare to survey results reported across all U.S. small businesses. Second, the impact of COVID-19 on business activities for 11 sectors examined in May 17-23, 2020, versus June 17-23, 2020, are compared. Third, conclusions are drawn.

description: We have undertaken a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the association between maternal exposure to air pollutants and outcomes of in vitro fertilization (IVF). Studies were identified through a comprehensive online search. After standardizing all air pollution concentrations to 10 μg/m3, we analyzed the levels of six air pollutants (PM2.5, PM10, O3, NO2, CO, and SO2) by applying a random effects model. A total of five articles met inclusion criteria upon final reviewing. Exposure to PM10, NO2, and CO was linked to the risk of ectopic pregnancy, while exposure to O3 was found to have a reverse association with biochemical pregnancy. Additionally, our analysis indicated a negative association between exposure to PM10, NO2, CO, and SO2 and live birth rates, as well as between NO2 exposure and intrauterine pregnancy. Our study emphasized the relationship between exposure to ambient air pollution and negative effects on pregnancy outcomes for women undergoing IVF.

description: Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. This disease is complex and heterogeneous, influenced by a variety of genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors that drive CRC initiation and progression. Despite advances in therapeutic strategies, the five-year survival rate for metastatic CRC is alarmingly low. Traditional two-dimensional (2D) cell culture systems have been the foundation of cancer research, but their inability to replicate the complex tumor microenvironment (TME) limits their effectiveness. This paper explores the evolution of CRC models, starting with the limitations of traditional 2D cell culture systems and the significant advancements offered by 3D models. Additionally, it highlights 3D bioprinting and on-chip CRC models, which have enhanced the ability to mimic in vivo conditions. The transition to advanced 3D models represents a pivotal shift in CRC research, offering considerable improvements over the established 2D models. These models hold promise for the development of patient-specific models that better mimic in vivo conditions. However, the inherent complexity of CRC continues to pose challenges in developing models that can fully capture the disease’s multifaceted nature. This complexity and high costs associated with these technologies, along with the need for standardized protocols, pose significant challenges to their widespread adoption.

description: Arthropods contribute importantly to ecosystem functioning but remain understudied. This undermines the validity of conservation decisions. Modern methods are now making arthropods easier to study, since arthropods can be mass-trapped, mass-identified, and semi-mass-quantified into ‘many-row (observation), many-column (species)‘ datasets, with homogeneous error, high resolution and copious environmental-covariate information. These ‘novel community datasets’ let us efficiently generate information on arthropod species distributions, conservation values, uncertainty, and the magnitude and direction of human impacts. We use a DNA-based method (barcode mapping) to produce an arthropod-community dataset from 121 Malaise-trap samples, and combine it with 29 remote-imagery layers within a joint species distribution model. With this approach, we generate distribution maps for 76 arthropod species across a 2This article is part of the theme issue ‘Towards a global toolkit for insect biodiversity monitoring’.

description: Due to perceived isolation of near shore islands, there are currently five subspecies of raccoons (Procyon lotor) recognized in Florida, USA. In this study, we elucidated molecular genetic differences between subspecies using 173 samples from eight localities collected throughout Florida. We sequenced two mitochondrial genes and genotyped eight nuclear microsatellite loci to test two hypotheses: (1) the five morphologically and geographically defined subspecies of raccoons in Florida represent genetically distinct populations and (2) due to differing habitat availability between island and mainland subspecies, island populations would exhibit reduced levels of genetic diversity compared with mainland populations. Our mitochondrial results identified 37 unique haplotypes, many of which are shared between described subspecies. However, our analyses of genetic differentiation suggest a recent restriction of gene flow among three clusters of raccoons, which do not correlate to traditional geographies for subspecies identification. Finally, we provide evidence of reduced genetic diversity in island populations compared with their mainland counterparts using both mitochondrial and microsatellite data, which demonstrate that haplotype diversity, allelic richness, and heterozygosity are significantly reduced in island sites. These data stress the importance of using multiple lines of evidence when naming taxa to ensure concordance between evolutionary history and taxonomy.

description: The objective of this study is to investigate the cation exchange property of the product zeolite Na-P1 (Z-P1) synthesized from coal fly ash (FA) by the alkali hydrothermal reaction, and to evaluate the water purification ability for the simultaneous removal of ammonium and phosphate. High-purity Z-P1 was obtained by optimizing the reaction conditions of aging time and crystallization temperature, and using FA particles of uniform particle size. Kinetic ammonium sorption experiments with Z-P1 were well described by both the Langmuir and Freundlich models, and the maximum adsorption capacity of the Z-P1 was 23.15 mg/g. Moreover, in order to determine the effect of magnesium intervention on the ammonium and phosphate removal from simulated swine wastewater, two forms of magnesium were studied, that is Mg-saturated Z-P1 and direct use of Mg2+ source with Z-P1, as compared with the control (sole Z-P1). Results showed that Mg2+ addition could improve phosphate removal efficiency significantly by forming struvite. Furthermore, dosing Z-P1 with dissolved Mg2+ was better than Mg-saturated Z-P1 in terms of ammonium and phosphate removal efficiencies, and the preparation cost. When dosing 20 g/L Z-P1 with 4 mM Mg2+, ammonium and phosphate removal efficiencies reached 65.2% and 92.3% after 30 min.

description: An indoor overheating assessment study of 101 London dwellings during summer 2009 is presented. The study included building surveys, indoor dry bulb temperature monitoring and a questionnaire survey on occupant behaviour, including the operation of passive and active ventilation, cooling and shading systems. A theoretical London housing stock comprising 3456 combinations of building geometry, orientations, urban patterns, fabric retrofit and external weather was simulated using the EnergyPlus thermal modelling software. A statistical meta-model of EnergyPlus was then built by regressing the independent variables (simulation input) against the dependent variables (overheating risk). The monitoring and questionnaire data were analysed to explore the relationship between self-reported behaviour and overheating, and to test the meta-model. The monitoring data indicated that London homes and, in particular, bedrooms are already at risk of overheating during hot spells under the current climate. Around 70% of respondents tended to open only one or no windows at night mainly due to security reasons. An improvement in the coefficient of determination (R2) values between measured temperature and meta-model predictions was obtained only for those dwellings where occupants reported actions that were in line with the modelling assumptions, thus highlighting the importance of occupant behaviour for overheating.

description: This work focused on the study of the quality of nutrients used to feed children from 0 to 59 months in a few households in the health zones of Goma, Kayna and Kyondo in North Kivu.

The objective pursued was to evaluate the level of knowledge on the contamination of said nutrients by aflatoxins, to measure the latter in the same foods and to evaluate the effect of honey on the development of Aspergillus sp found in these nutrients with a view to long-term preservation.To achieve this, a survey was carried out among 353 people, including 140 caregivers and 213 children aged 0 to 59 months. Thereafter, the rate of aflatoxins was assayed in the various samples by the chromatographic method on a thin layer using the Raptor. The samples that showed high levels of aflatoxins were treated with different concentrations of honey to assess its inhibiting effect on the development of aflatoxinogenic molds contained in the foods mentioned above. The results obtained show that 56.4% of respondents had never heard of aflatoxins and did not know them, compared to 43.6% who had already heard of them; 47.5% of respondents agreed that stunting in children may be due to the consumption of foods contaminated with aflatoxins and 23% agreed that aflatoxins can cause food poisoning. The majority of those who were aware of the existence and effect of these mycotoxins had attended college and were new to the career. In this study, the level of study and the seniority were factors influencing the knowledge of the nursing staff on the contamination by aflatoxins. In the three health zones, 114 out of 213 children sampled, or 54%, suffered from global acute malnutrition, of which 82, or 39%, suffered from severe acute malnutrition and 32, or 15%, suffered from moderate acute malnutrition. All of the 82 children suffering from severe acute malnutrition, or 39%, consumed foods with a dangerous aflatoxin level of between 11 and 258 ppb.

For the evaluation of the inhibitory effect of honey on Aspergillus, the results obtained showed that high concentrations of honey stop the development of Aspergillus sp. in these foods, which made it possible to keep the level of aflatoxins stable for more than two weeks of storage.

description: Background: Growing studies have demonstrated that dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) may improve fertility outcomes in poor ovarian responders (PORs). The aim of this study was to compare clinical outcomes and cumulus cell (CC) expression before and after DHEA treatment in PORs undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles. Methods: Six patients with poor ovarian response were enrolled in the study according to Bologna criteria. DHEA was supplied at least 2 months before patients entered into the next IVF cycle. Expression of apoptosis-related genes in CCs was determined by quantitative real-time PCR. Mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity of CCs was assessed by cell counting kit-8 assay. Results: Metaphase II oocytes, maturation rate, embryos at Day 3, and fertilization rate significantly increased following DHEA treatment. Expression of cytochrome c, caspase 9, and caspase 3 genes in CCs were significantly reduced after DHEA therapy. Additionally, increased mitochondrial activity of CCs was observed following DHEA supplementation. Conclusions: DHEA supplementation may protect CCs via improved mitochondrial activity and decreased apoptosis, leading to better clinical outcomes in PORs.

description: Information on severity of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) (transmissibility, disease seriousness, impact) is crucial for preparation of healthcare sectors. We present a simple approach to assess disease seriousness, creating a reference cohort of pneumonia patients from sentinel hospitals. First comparisons exposed a higher rate of COVID-19 patients requiring ventilation. There were more case fatalities among COVID-19 patients without comorbidities than in the reference cohort. Hospitals should prepare for high utilisation of ventilation and intensive care resources.

Nonetheless, beyond the successful employee engagement associated with PRIME HRM, the study posits the relative experiences of the workforce which adversely affects their well-being and wellness. To delve into these employee experiences the study integrated Sustainable HRM and checked on the status of the workforce without compromising the organizational performance. Eventually, the two tenets were merged to propose a holistic approach in HRM by way of methodological triangulation. This integration is called SUPREME HRM framework which is an intervention in managing the paradoxes between strategic employee engagement and sustainable employee experience that supports the improvement of wellness, and well-being, equitable to the organizational performance.

description: Studies were made to increase the yield of piperine extraction using Naviglio Extractor® solid–liquid dynamic extractor (SLDE) from fruits of Piper longum. The effects of ratio w/v were investigated and optimised for the best method. The maximum yield of piperine (317.7 mg/g) from P. longum fruits was obtained in SLDE 1:50 ethanol extract. Extraction yields of piperine obtained from Soxhlet extraction, decotion (International Organization for Standardization) and conventional maceration extraction methods were found to be 233.7, 231.8 and 143.6 mg/g, respectively. The results of the present study indicated that Naviglio Extractor® is an effective technique for the extraction of piperine from long pepper.

description: Approximately 90% of T2D patients in the US are diagnosed and treated in the primary care setting, and the majority of the burden of disease management falls to primary care providers. Here, we discuss the clinical data for once weekly dulaglutide, e.g. the results of seven completed Phase 3 trials, patient preference studies, patient reported outcomes (PRO), and clinical data surrounding the dulaglutide administration device. Dulaglutide 1.5 mg once weekly demonstrated superiority to placebo, metformin, sitagliptin, exenatide BID, and insulin glargine (in 2 trials), and non-inferiority to liraglutide in reduction of HbA1c from baseline, with an acceptable safety profile. Dulaglutide-treated patients achieved the composite endpoint of an HbA1c <7.0% with no hypoglycemia, no severe hypoglycemia, and no weight gain significantly more than metformin, sitagliptin, exenatide BID or insulin glargine treated patients. Dulaglutide consistently showed an early onset of glycemic control, lasting up to 104 weeks. Additionally, PRO and patient preference data support the benefit of once weekly dulaglutide for the treatment of T2D.

description: This study addresses the challenges posed by Parkinson's disease (PD), a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. Introducing a novel surgical approach, the study utilizes self-assembling peptide hydrogels to enhance neurogenesis and replace dopamine neurons in the injured adult brain. Investigating the redirection of endogenous neuroblast populations from the subgranular zone to the substantia nigra in rodents, the study explores the feasibility of synthesized peptide hydrogels in facilitating neural stem cell migration. The findings offer potential breakthroughs for treating PD and other brain-related diseases, promising advancements in novel therapeutic interventions.

description: A binuclear phenoxo- and azido-bridged copper(II) Schiff base complex has been synthesized along with its mononuclear copper-Schiff base analog. The compounds have been characterized by IR spectroscopy and CHN elemental analysis. The single-crystal structure and variable temperature magnetic properties of the binuclear compound have been studied from the X-ray crystallographic data and superconducting quantum interference device magnetometry, respectively. The synthesized crystalline binuclear complex has interesting spectral features that allow it to act as a spectral sensor toward an organophosphorus pesticide which is a potential environmental toxicant coming to the environment as agricultural waste. Although both the mononuclear and binuclear complexes are suitable as sensors for the organophosphorus, the binuclear complex being crystalline is suitable for attaining structural and mechanistic details of the interaction. Density functional theory calculations and ESI MS analysis of the interactions with the binuclear complex suggest that the binding of organophosphorus substrate with 2 occurs through one copper center.

description: This thesis investigates the synthesis, structure, and application of different amine-based coordination polymers, focusing on certain cyclic core amine ligands. The formation of these materials revealed distinct structural motifs with potential applications in different fields such as magnetism, catalysis, and chemical sensing. The study further extends to a cobalt-based coordination polymer used as a pre-catalyst for hydrogen energy production. Additionally, a cadmium-based coordination polymer demonstrates effective separation of precious metals in e-waste processing conditions.

description: Replicability is at the core of the scientific enterprise. In the past 30 years, recurring concerns about the extent of replicability (or lack thereof) of the research in various disciplines have surfaced, including in economics. In this talk, I describe the context in which the current discussion in the social science is occurring: what are the definitions of replicability and reproducibility, what is failing, and to what extent. I discuss progess over the past 15 years. Finally, I discuss the concrete measures that have been implemented under my guidance at the American Economic Association, and the first preliminary outcomes from those measures. I conclude with some observations on how to integrate reproducibility into the scientific workflow in the social and statistical sciences. The solutions to these problems will change the way research will be taught and conducted, in economics in particular, and in the social sciences more broadly. The implications affect undergraduate and graduate teaching, research infrastructure, and habits. Presented at TIER Spring 2020 Webcast Series on

description: Green consumption, the practice of making eco-friendly choices, is increasingly gaining popularity. This thesis examines how mindfulness, an intrinsic capacity of the mind, can encourage such choices. The thesis includes three studies. Study 1, a bibliometric study, reviews how mindfulness is used in green consumption research, identifying key themes and contributors. In contrast, Studies 2 and 3, using the Self-Determination Theory, examine how trait and state mindfulness influence green consumption through cross-sectional and experimental approaches, respectively. Overall, the three studies contribute to a better understanding of how mindfulness can shape green consumption behavior.
