Zr‐bptc  shows a high SO2 uptake of 6.2 mmol g−1 at 0.1 bar and 298 K, reflecting excellent capture capability and removal of SO2 at low concentration (2500 ppm). Dynamic breakthrough experiments confirm that the introduction of amine, atomically‐dispersed CuII or heteroatomic sulphur sites into the pores enhance the capture of SO2 at low concentrations. The captured SO2 can be converted quantitatively to a pharmaceutical intermediate, aryl N‐aminosulfonamide, thus converting waste to chemical values. In situ X‐ray diffraction, infrared micro‐spectroscopy and inelastic neutron scattering enable the visualisation of the binding domains of adsorbed SO2 molecules and host–guest binding dynamics in these materials at the atomic level. Refinement of the pore environment plays a critical role in designing efficient sorbent materials.We report reversible high capacity adsorption of SO 2 uptake. The incorporation of atomically‐dispersed CuII, amine or heteroatomic sulphur sites enhances the uptake of SO2 at low concentrations. This work confirms that control of pore environments is an important approach for optimising the adsorption of SO2 at low concentrations.A series of Zr‐based metal–organic framework materials have been investigated for reversible SO MOFs constructed from {Zr6} clusters are renowned for their high stability. and Zr‐DMTDC6(μ3‐O)4(μ3‐OH)4(OOCR)12} clusters bridged by dicarboxylates to give cubic structures of fcu topology 4(μ3‐OH)4(OOCR)12} clusters and tetracarboxylate ligands in an open framework of ftw topology.2 g−1.

The comparable adsorption uptakes of UiO‐66, UiO‐66‐NH2 and UiO‐66‐CuII at 1 bar (8.2–8.8 mmol g−1) suggest that decoration of the pore environment with functional groups or open CuII sites has little impact on the total uptake capacity, which is determined primarily by the surface area. The slightly higher uptake of Zr‐DMTDC (9.6 mmol g−1) is consistent with its higher surface area (1345 m2 g−1), compared with the other three UiO‐66 materials. In contrast, enhancements in the uptake at 0.1 bar were observed for UiO‐66‐NH2, UiO‐66‐CuII and Zr‐DMTDC, compared with UiO‐66  for SO2 uptake show decreasing values of 45–50, 44–32, 38–34, 32–29, 37–27, 31–27 and 26–19 kJ mol−1 for Zr‐bptc, UiO‐66‐NH2, UiO‐66‐CuII, Zr‐DMTDC, UiO‐66, MFM‐422 and MFM‐133, respectively. Compared with UiO‐66, the materials UiO‐66‐NH2, UiO‐66‐CuII and Zr‐DMTDC show higher values for Qst, consistent with the enhanced adsorption at low pressure. The relatively low values of Qst for MFM‐133 and MFM‐422 are consistent with their large pores, reducing the strength of host–guest interactions.Gravimetric adsorption isotherms of SO2 and N2 have also been recorded for Zr‐bptc, UiO‐66‐NH2, UiO‐66‐CuII, Zr‐DMTDC and UiO‐66 to assess the adsorption selectivity 2/CO2 (1/99) and SO2/N2 (1/99)  at 298 K and 1.0 bar.

For all the MOFs, clear binding of SO2 to the hydroxyl group is observed with a red shift of the −OH stretching vibration at ≈3671 cm−1 by 86, 95, 83 and 82 cm−1 in UiO‐66, UiO‐66‐NH2, UiO‐66‐CuII and Zr‐DMTDC, respectively  mode was monitored to examine the displacement of bound CO2 by SO2  stretch corresponding to the bare and CO2‐loaded materials are approximately equal. Due to weak interaction between CO2 and the μ3‐OH group, the bare μ3‐OH band is not fully depleted but a new peak at 3643 cm−1 appears and is assigned to the [OH⋅⋅⋅OCO] band , there is a steady change in the ν(μ3‐OH) region that includes new bands appearing in a similar manner to the pure SO2 experiment, indicating that bound CO2 does not impede SO2 adsorption . Upon 30 % SO2‐loading, the characteristic [OH⋅⋅⋅OCO] band has fully disappeared showing that SO2 readily displaces bound CO2 in the pore as a result of stronger binding. Hence, selective capture of SO2 from a mixture of SO2/CO2 can be achieved as demonstrated in separation experiments. Furthermore, 40 %, 45 % and 50 % SO2‐loadings fully displace CO2 in UiO‐66‐NH2, Zr‐DMTDC and UiO‐66, respectively . The competitive binding studies of SO2/CO2 further confirm enhanced SO2 binding in the decorated MOFs. The decreasing partial pressure of SO2 on full displacement of CO2 in UiO‐66‐CuII, UiO‐66‐NH2 and Zr‐DMTDC is consistent with that observed in static and dynamic adsorption studies.Upon stepwise dosing of the COIn situ INS, coupled with DFT calculations, enables the visualization of binding dynamics for SO2‐loaded Zr‐bptc. Seven major changes in the INS spectra were observed on the adsorption of SO2 in Zr‐bptc  was observed at 0.1 bar and 298 K. Furthermore, the captured SO2 in Zr‐bptc can be converted readily into fine chemicals, paving new pathways to “waste‐to‐chemicals” technologies. In situ SXPD, microFTIR and INS studies, coupled with DFT calculations, unravel the molecular details of host–guest binding that result in the enhancement of SO2 adsorption at low pressure in these materials. These studies confirm that control of pore environments is an important approach for improving the adsorption of SO2.Powerful drivers exist for the development of new regenerable sorbents for SO6(OH)8(OH)8(tcpt)2], [Zr6O4(OH)4(bptc)3 ⋅ (SO2)5.8], [Zr6O4(OH)4(DMTDC)6 ⋅ (SO2)13.1], [Zr6O4(OH)4(bdc)6 ⋅ (SO2)7.7] and [Zr6O4(OH)4(bdc−NH2)6 ⋅ (SO2)8.1] are available free of charge from the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre .Additional crystallographic information, gas adsorption data, thermogravimetric analysis, density function theory (DFT) calculations and breakthrough data are available in the Supporting Information.

The performance of auditory steady state response (ASSR) in threshold testing when recorded ipsilaterally and contralaterally, as well as at low and high modulation frequencies (MFs), has not been systematically studied.vs. contralateral) and modulation frequency (40 Hz vs. 90 Hz) on ASSR thresholds.To verify the influences of mode of recording  modulated at 40 and 90 Hz MFs were presented to the participants’ right ear. The ASSR thresholds were then recorded at each test frequency in both ipsilateral and contralateral channels.Fifteen female and 14 male subjects (aged 18–30 years) with normal hearing bilaterally were studied. Narrow-band CE-chirpp < 0.05 by two-way repeated measures ANOVA), mean ASSR thresholds were then compared among four conditions  using one-way repeated measures ANOVA. At the 500 and 1000 Hz test frequencies, contra-40 Hz condition produced the lowest mean ASSR thresholds. In contrast, at high frequencies (2000 and 4000 Hz), ipsi-90 Hz condition revealed the lowest mean ASSR thresholds. At most test frequencies, contra-90 Hz produced the highest mean ASSR thresholds.Due to pronounced interaction effects between mode of recording and MF (Based on the findings, the present study recommends two different protocols for an optimum threshold testing with ASSR, at least when testing young adults. This includes the use of contra-40 Hz recording mode due to its promising performance in hearing threshold estimation. Auditory steady state response (ASSR) is an electrical potential evoked by periodic amplitude modulated and/or frequency modulated stimuli. Differently from conventional auditory evoked potentials, ASSR utilizes an objective threshold detection method, which provides clinicians and researchers a convenient way for estimating behavior hearing thresholds.The ASSR thresholds have been shown to be closely related to pure tone audiogram in various studies. In fact, ASSRs evoked by stimuli at 90 and 40 Hz modulation frequencies (MFs) show consistency with auditory brainstem response (ABR) and activity in the upper region of central auditory nervous system (CANS), respectively.6i.e., ipsilateral vs. contralateral) on ASSR have also been investigated. Van Maanen and StapellsThe effects of mode of recording , right-handed, with normal hearing in both ears (thresholds ≤15 dB HL from 500 to 4000 Hz) and without any record of head injuries and neurological disorders or any active ear pathology took part in the study. All of them agreed to voluntary participation by signing the written informed consent. Prior to testing, an ethical approval from the respective institution was obtained, in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki (USM/PPP/JEPeM [245.3(5)]).To ensure normal hearing status, basic audiologic evaluations including otoscopy, admittance audiometry  and pure tone audiometry (Model AC 40 two-channel audiometer) were performed on all participants in a sound-treated room within the Audiology Clinic, University Hospital.® signals centered at 500, 1000, 2000, and 4000 Hz were used as the test stimuli. The chirp stimuli were designed to compensate for the cochlear delay and to produce a bigger response.ASSR thresholds were then recorded with a two-channel Eclipse system  and narrow-band CE-chirpi.e., ASSRs recorded in the right and left channels represented ipsilateral and contralateral conditions, respectively). The impedance of electrodes was maintained to be less than 3 kΩ throughout the measurements.Four scalp electrodes were placed on the participant's head: non-inverting on the forehead, inverting on each mastoid, and ground on the cheek. For both ipsilateral and contralateral recordings, the insert earphone was placed only in the right ear  technique through the insert earphone. This technique offers a time-effective way for stimulus presentation, as four frequencies can be tested simultaneously. The measurement started with 40 Hz MF and was followed by 90 Hz MF recordings, as the participants were typically awake at the beginning of the testing. Nevertheless, during the 40 Hz ASSR measurements, the participants’ state was closely monitored to ensure adequate wakefulness.For detecting the response in a quick and accurate manner, the ASSR Eclipse system utilized the ‘Full Spectrum Detection Engine’ method. With this method, amplitude and phase coherence components were combined, and responses from higher harmonics were also included in the detection algorithm. In comparison to the use of information only from the first harmonic, significantly higher response detection rates and shorter detection times were observed when all available responses (amplitude and phase) from first and higher harmonics were utilized.With the ASSR Eclipse device, at a particular intensity level, the response is considered present if it reaches an amplitude level that is within 95% confidence within the default time of 6 min. In the current study, the ASSR measurement started at 60 dB nHL of intensity. If the response was clearly detected (reached 95% confidence) sooner than the default time, the trial was stopped and the stimulus intensity was decreased by 10 dB. If the confidence of response was less than 50% during the first 3 min, the trial was stopped and the test was repeated at a similar level. If unclear response was still observed (<50% confidence), the trial was stopped and the stimulus intensity was increased by 5 dB. The measurements continued until ASSR threshold was obtained. The ASSR threshold was defined as the lowest intensity level that elicited response with 95% confidence in 6 min. At the threshold level, the measurements were repeated twice to confirm the test reproducibility. The ASSR threshold was obtained at each test frequency at different MFs and for both recording conditions. To avoid fatigue during the recording, 10 min of break was given to the participants between each trial.p > 0.05). For each test frequency, two-way repeated measures ANOVA (with mode of recording and MF as the factors) was performed to compare mean ASSR thresholds between ipsilateral and contralateral recordings, as well as between 40 Hz and 90 Hz MFs. To analyze the simple main effects , one-way repeated measures ANOVA was conducted to compare mean ASSR thresholds among the following conditions: ipsi-40 Hz, contra-40 Hz, ipsi-90 Hz, and contra-90 Hz. Prior to this, the Mauchly test was carried out to test the assumption of sphericity. For pairwise comparisons, Bonferroni correction was used. The statistical significance level was set at p < 0.05. All data were analyzed using the SPSS software v. 20 .For data analysis, both descriptive and inferential statistics were used. Mean and standard deviation (SD) were expressed as applicable. All the numerical data were found to be normally distributed as shown by Kolmogorov–Smirnov test (Mean and standard deviation of ASSR thresholds for both recording modes at different MFs at specific test frequencies are shown in p < 0.05). Consequently, the interpretation of the main effects  can be misleading. To address this issue, one-way repeated measures ANOVA was carried out and the simple main effects were determined. At all test frequencies, Mauchly's test of sphericity revealed that the sphericity had not been violated (p > 0.05). Consequently, correction of the degrees of freedom was not required. i.e., ipsi-40 Hz, contra-40 Hz, ipsi-90 Hz, and contra-90 Hz) were found to be statistically different from each other at all test frequencies (p < 0.05).To confirm these descriptive observations, two-way repeated measures ANOVA was conducted; the statistical outcomes are shown in vs. contra-90 Hz’, ‘contra-40 Hz vs. contra-90 Hz’, ‘contra-40 Hz vs. ipsi-90 Hz’ and ‘contra-90 Hz vs. ipsi-40 Hz’ conditions (p < 0.05). At the 1000 Hz test frequency, three conditions  produced statistically significant outcomes (p < 0.05). At both the 500 and 1000 Hz test frequencies, the mean ASSR thresholds were statistically different between contra-40 Hz and contra-90 Hz conditions. This supports the earlier observation that the contra-40 Hz condition produced the lowest mean ASSR threshold, while the contra-90 Hz condition revealed the highest mean ASSR threshold.The pairwise comparisons using Bonferroni correction at each test frequency was then performed; the results are shown in i.e., ‘ipsi-40 Hz vs. contra-40 Hz’) revealed a significant result (p = 0.027). Similarly, at the 4000 Hz test frequency, only one condition  produced a statistically significant outcome (p = 0.007).At the 2000 Hz test frequency, only one condition , lower ASSR thresholds at 40 Hz MF is possibly due to increased neural connections and binaural activities within these upper regions of CANS.At the 500 and 1000 Hz test frequencies, lower mean ASSR thresholds were observed at 40 Hz MF than at 90 Hz MF. In this situation, 40 Hz ASSR seems to be superior to 90 Hz ASSR, since it produced lower thresholds . The superiority of ASSR at low MF is consistent with the previous reports.vs. ipsi-90 Hz’ and ‘contra-40 Hz vs. contra-90 Hz’) revealed insignificant statistical results at the 2000 Hz test frequency. These findings are inconsistent with the results of the previous studies that found lower ASSR thresholds with low MF stimuli.® stimuli for determining ASSR thresholds, whereas pure tones were utilized for recording ASSR thresholds in the previous studies. Since the stimuli used are different, some differences in the study outcomes would be expected.At 2000 and 4000 Hz test frequencies, the mean ASSR thresholds found in the present study were descriptively lower in ipsi-90 Hz condition than in ipsi-40 Hz condition. This difference was then found to be statistically significant only at the 4000 Hz test frequency . Both coIn the field of ASSR, literatures regarding the influence of ipsilateral and contralateral recordings are limited. In the present study, the majority of test frequencies  found no significant differences in ASSR threshold between ipsi-40 Hz and contra-40 Hz conditions. This suggests that the mode of recording has a subtle influence on ASSR thresholds evoked by low MF stimuli. This finding is in line with the study by Kaf and Daneshi.e., 65 dB SPL). As stated earlier, ASSRs recorded at threshold and supra-threshold levels might yield different outcomes.In contrast, for 90 Hz MF stimuli, ipsi-90 Hz condition produced statistically lower ASSR thresholds than that of contra-90 Hz condition at 500, 1000, and 2000 test frequencies. In fact, at these test frequencies, contra-90 Hz condition revealed the highest mean ASSR thresholds. Herein, a significant mode of recording effect on ASSR thresholds is noted for high MF stimuli. This result contradicts high MF findings in the study of Kaf and Danesh.n = 29). It is known that a larger sample size would increase the statistical power and the likelihood for rejecting the null hypothesis.The superiority of high MF ASSR in recording ipsilateral ASSR thresholds found in the present study is also inconsistent with the study by Small and Stapells.The present study, nonetheless, has some limitations. Firstly, due to the significant interaction effects, the specific effect of test frequency on ASSR thresholds is not determined. Herein, the occurrence of more complex interaction effects was anticipated if frequency is included as one of the factors. Secondly, the present study only tested the right ear of the participants. Since ASSR shows a pronounced laterality effect,An effort has been made to determine the influences of mode of recording and modulation frequency on ASSR thresholds in young adults. At low frequencies (500 and 1000 Hz), the 40 Hz MF produced lower ASSR thresholds than that of 90 Hz MF. At high frequencies (2000 and 4000 Hz), the ipsi-90 Hz produced the lowest ASSR thresholds. Based on the outcomes of the present study, the authors suggest two different protocols for an optimum threshold determination with ASSR in young adults. In the first protocol, the use of low MF stimuli for recording ASSR thresholds at low frequencies is suggested. At high frequencies, high MF stimuli are recommended. For all conditions, the recording mode is ipsilateral. In the second protocol, the use of low MF stimuli is recommended for determining ASSR thresholds at all test frequencies with contralateral recording.Research University (RU) Grant (1001/PPSK/812114), Universiti Sains Malaysia.The authors declare no conflicts of interest.

The consequences of schizophrenia stigma are numerous and highly damaging to individuals, their families, the health care system and society. Mental health professionals (MHP) are considered to be one of the main sources of stigmatization.To identify the characteristics of MHP stigma in schizophrenia in comparison with other psychiatric disorders, the specificities of MHP compared with other social groups, and associated factors.Following PRISMA guidelines, we systematically searched multiple electronic databases for articles: (i) reporting original data published in English in peer-reviewed journals, (ii) reporting quantitative data with statistical analysis, (iii) assessing stigma in a broad sense, and (iv) including samples composed only of MHP.A total of 38 articles published from 1999 to 2019 and involving 10926 MHP fulfilled our inclusion criteria. Studies showed that schizophrenia is the most stigmatized mental illnesses in MHP, despite recent results suggesting that borderline personality disorder and substance abuse may be more stigmatized. In comparison with other social groups, MHP reported less dangerousness beliefs and more positive beliefs regarding pharmacological treatment. Nevertheless, results were less consistent regarding prognosis and desire for social distance. Age, education level, type of mental health profession, or length of practice were associated factors that showed inconsistent relations with stigma. Work setting and biological causal beliefs were more clearly associated with MHP stigma.These findings provide strong support for the need to conduct specific research on schizophrenia stigma in MHP and the importance of controlling for several variables to identify predictors of stigma.No significant relationships.

In addition, the authors found that the structural data for BiVO3 with Pmna and C2/C structures in Table 1 is incorrect.The original calculation of the DOS (density of states) of BiVOThe recalculated results mean that the conclusions of the published paper are now unreliable; therefore, the article is being retracted to protect the accuracy and integrity of the scientific record.The corresponding author, Meng-Qiu Cai, agreed to retract the article, but did not respond to any correspondence regarding the wording of the retraction notice.

Although tremendous strides have been made in the participation of women in medicine, female continues to be underrepresented in leadership positions and higher-level academic medicine. An important factor in determining career advancement in academic medicine is the quality and quantity of an individual’s scholarly publications. To date, no study has looked at female authorship in gastroenterology (GI) randomized control trials (RCTs), which remains the gold standard for evaluating intervention effectiveness.The primary outcome is to assess female authorship in gastroenterology randomized control trials from 2011 to 2021, and the secondary outcome is to assess female authorship within GI subspecialty RCT publications.In this observational study, the gender of the first and last author of gastroenterology RCTs from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2021 was assessed. Python (v3.8.12) was used to extract publication data from PubMed. A validated algorithm, genderize.io, was used to determine gender. Author first names that cannot be determined by the algorithm were manually searched on publicly-available profiles.A total of 5690 original gastroenterology RCTs were included from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2021. The gender of the first and senior authors of the papers was determined for 5668 (99.6%) first authors and 5656 (99.4%) senior authors. Overall, 1937 (34.1%) of the first authors and 1138 (20.0%) of senior authors were female.There was an increase in the proportion of female first authors over the past decade, from 25.4% in 2011 to 37.8% in 2021 (p<0.05). For senior authors, there was a more gradual increase in female authorship from 14.2% in 2011 to 21.6% in 2021 (p<0.05). Within GI subspecialties, 612 RCTs were included for inflammatory bowel disease, 1143 RCTs were included for hepatology, and 1856 RCTs were included for therapeutic endoscopy from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2021. Further analysis will be performed to determine the gender trend for GI subspecialties.Female authorship in gastroenterology RCTs has increased from 2011 to 2021, although the rate of senior authorship has increased to a slower extent compared to first authors. Across all years, female authorship in gastroenterology RCTs has been lower than males.NoneNone Declared

COVID-19 and ventilation in thehome; investigating peoples’ perceptions and self-reported behaviour (the COVID-19 RapidSurvey of Adherence to Interventions and Responses [CORSAIR] study) In the above-mentioned article, the authors have noticed some errors. There have been someerrors with the datasets delivered to the authors. There was a problem concerning the variabledenoting responder ID. For one panel used, all respondents were assigned unique IDs each timethey completed a survey, regardless of whether they had previously completed the survey.Therefore, repeat respondents were not appropriately identified. This affected data in waves 8to 57 (inclusive). The authors have since worked with the market research companies to rectifythis problem. The previously published manuscript states that “10,207 responses from 10,199participants” were used. The corrected figures are 10,207 responses from at least 10,152participants.This change does not affect the results nor conclusions in the manuscript.The online files have been updated.
