    Abstract Objective: Container deposit schemes are often hailed as a useful avenue to increase consumer recycling rates. Yet, there is little research investigating within-person changes in people's beliefs and behavior following the implementation of these schemes, or tests of the mechanisms by which such change has occurred.
    Methods: The current study fills this knowledge gap and assessed container recycling behavior and habits as well as the social cognition factors of attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and intentions in a sample of 90 Queenslanders before the implementation of the container deposit scheme and one and three months post-implementation.
    Results: Analysis of variance indicated more frequent recycling behavior following the implementation of the scheme, as well as stronger habits, intentions, and perceived behavioral control.
    Conclusions: Such a concomitant change in behavior, beliefs, and habits provides support for behavior change theory, while also flagging potential targets for strategies that can be paired with container deposit schemes to enhance their efficacy and uptake.

    Abstract Introduction: High levels of sugar intake are associated with multiple maladaptive health outcomes in adult and younger populations. Identifying the psychological determinants of sugar intake in adolescents, and the processes involved, may help identify potentially modifiable targets and inform intervention development. We tested the predictions of an extended theoretical model based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB), which specified social cognition constructs, habit, and self-control as correlates of sugar intake in an adolescent sample.
    Methods: Adolescents aged 12 to 14 years (N = 88) recruited via a survey panel company and consenting to participate in the study completed online self-report measures of constructs from the TPB alongside measures of habit and self-control. One month later, participants completed a follow-up measure of free-sugar intake. Hypothesized effects of our proposed extended model were tested using partial least squares structural equation modeling.
    Results: We found statistically significant effects of attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control on sugar intake intentions. We also found significant effects of habit and self-control on sugar intake measured at follow-up, but no effect for intention. Perceived behavioral control moderated the intention-behavior relationship such that intention effects on behavior were larger when perceived behavioral control was high. However, self-control did not moderate the intention-behavior relationship.
    Conclusion: Results indicate that sugar intake in this sample was a function of habits and self-control, and the effect of sugar intake intentions was conditional on perceived behavioral control. Results contribute to an evidence base of determinants and associated processes that relate to sugar intake in adolescents and may signal potentially modifiable targets for intervention.

    Abstract Background and objective: The management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and cirrhosis are closely linked. HCC most often occurs in the background of cirrhosis and can also lead to decompensation of underlying liver disease. The treatment of complications of cirrhosis is important to help reduce morbidity and mortality and allow for expanded treatment options of HCC.
    Methods: We searched PubMed using search terms for cirrhosis and HCC. From this search, we selected references which appeared to be primary studies preferentially within the last 5 years, although also included select landmark studies which have shaped guidelines and recommendations.
    Key content and findings: The development of HCC and treatment of HCC can both cause decompensation of liver disease and worsening of liver function. For most patients, the development of HCC or progression of disease are the drivers of morbidity and mortality. However, it is important to closely monitor patients for complications of liver disease that develop either as a result of HCC or as a complication of HCC treatment, and this can have important implications on treatment options. Multidisciplinary team involvement including hepatologists, surgeons, radiologists, interventional radiologists, medical oncologists, and palliative care is essential in the care of patients with cirrhosis and HCC to help guide management decisions and treatment.
    Conclusions: The management of cirrhosis and HCC are both complex and interrelated. Through a multidisciplinary team approach we can best treat the complications of cirrhosis, allow for expanded treatment options, and improve quality of life through symptom management.

    Abstract ConspectusThe class of reactions now known as Minisci reactions is broadly defined as the addition of nucleophilic carbon-based radicals to basic heteroarenes with subsequent rearomatization to form a new carbon-carbon bond. Since the pioneering work of Minisci in the 1960s and 1970s, these reactions are now widely used in medicinal chemistry due to the ubiquity of basic heterocycles in druglike molecules. One of the long-standing challenges of Minisci chemistry has been that of regioselectivity due to the mixtures of positional isomers commonly obtained on many substrates if there is a choice between similarly activated sites. At the outset of the work described herein, we hypothesized that it may be possible to tackle this using a catalytic strategy whereby a bifunctional Brønsted acid catalyst simultaneously activates the heteroarene and engages attractive non-covalent interactions with the incoming nucleophile, resulting in a proximal attack. Using chiral BINOL-derived phosphoric acids, we not only were able to achieve this goal of regiocontrol but also discovered that we could control the absolute stereochemistry at the new stereocenter formed when prochiral α-amino radicals were employed. At the time, this discovery was unprecedented in the context of Minisci reactions.This Account details the discovery of this protocol and the further development, expansion, and investigations into the mechanism that we have carried out since then, several in collaboration with other research groups. Collaborative efforts have involved an expansion of the scope to diazines guided by multivariate statistical analysis through the development of a predictive model (collaboration with Sigman). Also, a mechanistic study involving detailed DFT analysis (collaboration with Goodman and Ermanis) unveiled the selectivity-determining step as being the deprotonation of a key cationic radical intermediate by the associated chiral phosphate anion. We have additionally carried out a number of synthetic developments of the protocol such as removing the need to prefunctionalize the radical nucleophile; hydrogen-atom transfer can be used to enable a formal coupling of two C-H bonds to form a C-C bond while retaining high enantio- and regioselectivity. Most recently, we have been able to expand the protocol so that α-hydroxy radicals can be used: until this point, all examples had concerned α-amino radicals. Again, HAT was used to generate the α-hydroxy radicals, and DFT studies carried out in collaboration (Ermanis) provided mechanistic insights.Since our original report, there have appeared a number of exciting developments from other research groups whereby the protocol has been applied to new substrates or using different precursors to generate the requisite α-amino radical. There have also been several examples in which alternative photocatalyst systems have been used to reduce the redox-active esters in the original enantioselective Minisci protocol. While primarily an Account, these contributions from other research groups will be covered briefly for context toward the end of the article.

    Abstract Water pollution is a growing threat to humanity due to the pervasiveness of contaminants in water bodies. Significant efforts have been made to separate these hazardous components to purify polluted water through various methods. However, conventional remediation methods suffer from limitations such as low uptake capacity or selectivity, and current water quality standards cannot be met. Recently, advanced porous materials (APMs) have shown promise in improved segregation of contaminants compared to traditional porous materials in uptake capacity and selectivity. These materials feature merits of high surface area and versatile functionality, rendering them ideal platforms for the design of novel adsorbents. This Review summarizes the development and employment of APMs in a variety of water treatments accompanied by assessments of task-specific adsorption performance. Finally, we discuss our perspectives on future opportunities for APMs in water purification.

    Abstract Amines featuring an adjacent stereocenter are important building blocks, and recent years have seen remarkable growth in methods forming these via prochiral α-amino radical intermediates. However, very few can exert control over the newly formed stereocenter. We disclose a strategy to overcome this in the context of one of the most widely used radical carbon-carbon bond forming reactions, the Giese reaction. Incorporation of a removable basic heteroarene into the substrate enables a network of attractive noncovalent interactions between a phosphoric acid catalyst, the subsequently formed α-amino radical, and the Giese acceptor, allowing the catalyst to exert control during the C-C bond forming step. Deprotection of the products leads to analogues of γ-aminobutyric acid. We anticipate that this strategy will be applicable to other asymmetric radical transformations in which catalyst control is presently challenging.

    Abstract Adverse drug events (ADEs) are common in hospitals, affecting one in six child in-patients. Medication processes are complex systems. This study aimed to explore the work-as-done of medication safety in three English paediatric units using direct observation and semi-structured interviews. We found that a combination of the physical environment, traditional work systems and team norms were among the systemic barriers to medicines safety. The layout of wards discouraged teamworking and reinforced professional boundaries. Workspaces were inadequate, and interruptions were uncontrollable. A less experienced workforce undertook prescribing and verification while more experienced nurses undertook administration. Guidelines were inadequate, with actors muddling through together. Formal controls against ADEs included checking (of prescriptions and administration) and barcode administration systems, but these did not integrate into workflows. Families played an important part in the safe administration of medication and provision of information about their children but were isolated from other parts of the system.

    Abstract Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-induced bronchiolitis is a significant contributor to infant morbidity and mortality. Previously, we identified that necroptosis, a pro-inflammatory form of cell death mediated by receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) and RIPK3, and mixed lineage kinase domain like protein (MLKL), occurs in RSV-infected human airway epithelial cells (hAECs), mediating the release of the alarmin high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1). Here, we show that RSV infection of hAECs induces the biphasic release of HMGB1 at 6 ("early") and 24 ("late") hours post infection (hpi). The early phase of HMGB1 release at 6 hpi is cell death-independent, however, this release is nonetheless attenuated by inhibition of MLKL (primarily associated with necroptosis). The early release of HMGB1 promotes the late phase of HMGB1 release via the activation of RAGE (receptor for advanced glycation endproducts) and occurs with cell death. Treatment of hAECS with exogenous HMGB1 combined with a pan-caspase inhibitor induces hAEC necroptosis, and is attenuated by the RAGE antagonist, FPS-ZM1. Together, these findings demonstrate that RSV infection of hAECs leads to the early release of HMGB1, followed by a paracrine feed-forward amplification loop that further increases HMGB1 levels and promotes cell death. As the inhibition of MLKL or targeting of HMGB1/RAGE pathway attenuates the release of pro-inflammatory HMGB1 and decreases viral load, this suggests that the pharmacological targeting of these pathways may be of benefit for the treatment of severe RSV bronchiolitis.
