However, it suffers from continued capacity fading. This problem could be overcome by hybridizing MoS₂ with nanostructured carbon-based materials but it is quite challenging. Herein, we demonstrate a single step strategy for the preparation of MoS₂ coupled with ordered mesoporous carbon nitride using nanotemplating approach which involves the pyrolysis of phosphomolybdic acid hydrate (PMA), dithiooxamide (DTO) and 5-amino-1H-tetrazole (5-ATTZ) together in the porous channels of 3D mesoporous silica template. The sulfidation to MoS₂, polymerization to carbon nitride (CN) and their hybridization occur simultaneously within a mesoporous silica template during a calcination process. The CN/MoS₂ hybrid prepared by this unique approach is highly pure and exhibits good crystallinity as well as delivers excellent performance for SIBs with the specific capacities of 605 and 431 mAh/g at current densities of 100 and 1000 mA/g respectively for SIBs. © 2020 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Self-reflective practice is a widespread concept in nursing; however, few empirical studies have demonstrated the possible effects of such a practice. The purpose of this integrative literature review was to identify evidence of the effects of self-reflective practice on baccalaureate-level nursing students, especially stress. METHODS The literature search was conducted utilizing CINAHL and PubMed databases. The inclusion criteria were studies published between 2013 and 2018, articles that were peer-reviewed, written in English, and focused on nursing education of baccalaureate programs only. A total of 15 articles were reviewed. RESULTS There is limited but growing evidence to suggest self-reflective practices have positive effects on baccalaureate-level nursing students. The self-reflective practices decreased stress and anxiety and increased learning, competency, and self-awareness of nursing practice. While written reflections were most commonly used in the studies, other forms of reflection, such as verbal and photography, were effective as well. LINKING EVIDENCE TO ACTION Nursing students can benefit from incorporating reflection into the didactic and clinical settings. Nursing faculty are encouraged to integrate reflection into the nursing curriculum. Nurses within the first year of practice could benefit from using reflective practice as well. Experienced nurses and nurse managers can encourage and mentor novice nurses on the use and benefits of reflective practice. © 2020 Sigma Theta Tau International.This study evaluated the feasibility, acceptance, and potential clinical benefit of brief applied behavior analysis (ABA)-based interventions for children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) displaying challenging behaviors during hospitalizations. Participants included 36 children diagnosed with ASD, 6-17 years of age, who were medically or psychiatrically hospitalized. Children in the intervention group received a brief ABA intervention and were compared to children in the evaluation and monitoring-only group. see more Families and staff recommended the intervention, children receiving the intervention demonstrated significantly more improvement in unblinded ratings of clinical severity, data from physicians indicated a positive effect of the intervention on levels of staffing and restraints and attending medical providers universally reported satisfaction and benefit of the intervention. Improvements in challenging behaviors were not significantly different as reported by parents, and the length of ehaviors during hospitalizations. Families and staff evaluating the procedures noted perceived potential benefits of the intervention, but this initial pilot study did not document changes in hospitalization length or blinded rating of improvement. © 2020 International Society for Autism Research, Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Laser processing of gold nanorods (Au NRs) relying on light-matter interaction provides great opportunities in various potential applications. Unveiling the light-induced structure change is a crucial goal in order to control the shape and related properties for practical application. However, the internal atomic structure control of metallic NRs has long been a challenge. Here, the concept of internal atomic structure tailored with light is demonstrated and Au NRs with various internal atomic structures including point defects, twin structures, and polycrystalline nanospheres are fabricated. Experimental characterization and theoretical simulation show that light-induced localized energy deposition and dynamic stresses distribution give rise to atomic structure change. Au NRs with internal defects show enhanced potential to improve activity. The concept of light tailoring of internal atomic structure represents a promising strategy for the rational design of metallic NRs to boost wide applications. © 2020 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Accumulating studies provided an important evidence for long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) polymorphisms in the susceptibility of various cancer. Here, we recruited 494 cervical cancer cases and 504 unrelated controls to assess the relationship between CASC15 (OMIM# 616610) polymorphisms and cervical cancer susceptibility. METHODS Agena MassARRAY platform was conducted to genotype CASC15 polymorphisms. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were analyzed through logistic regression to adjust for confounding factors, such as age and gender. RESULTS Our study suggested that rs12212674 (NC_000006.12g.22086845T>A) "A" allele was significantly associated with an increased risk of cervical cancer (OR = 1.31, 95% CI = 1.01-1.69, p = .041). The result was demonstrated in the log-additive model (OR = 1.32, 95% CI = 1.02-1.72, p = .037). After age stratification, we also found that the "TT" genotype of rs4712653 (NC_000006.
