The main objective of this study was to determine health professionals’ knowledge relating to cancer patients’ fatigue in Oman and identify current management practices of cancer-related fatigue. A cross-sectional survey design using Qualtrics® software was performed. The survey had five sections and comprised 32 items. A total of 138 healthcare professionals working in Oman participated in the study (response rate 63.9%). Nearly three quarters of the participants were nurses (74.6%, n = 103). The mean level of knowledge of cancer-related fatigue was 16.6/23, with 50% of participants having the expected level of knowledge above 12. The result indicated that professional discipline and work experience each were significantly associated with overall level of knowledge. Participants identified the need for guidelines, assessment tools, and training for the oncology staff to help improve the quality of life of patients with cancer-related fatigue. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons Australia, Ltd.Persons with Parkinson’s disease and their care partners want support from healthcare to develop the skills to handle everyday life with disease. Earlier findings indicate that participants of the self-management program Swedish National Parkinson School experience several benefits of the program. The purpose of this qualitative observational study was to explore if participants had implemented the strategies of self-monitoring included in the program, and use them to communicate health care status and needs in clinical encounters. Data was collected 3-15 months after participation in the program and analysed using constant comparative analysis. Three categories were evident “Self-observation in everyday life”, “Self-care activities to promote health” and “Managing emotional impact of Parkinson’s Disease”. Categories were linked together in a core category that highlight the use of self-management strategies described by participants during clinical encounters. Results confirmed that persons with Parkinson’s disease and care partners use the techniques of self-observation in their everyday lives. Observations of effects in clinical care can be a valuable approach to evaluate the outcomes educational interventions and their benefits for individuals and health care.

Whereas homogeneous distribution of metals is conveniently realized in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), the limited stability potentially restricts their practical implementation. From that perspective, the development of metal-covalent organic frameworks (MCOFs) may address these shortcomings by incorporating active metal species atop highly stable COF backbones. This minireview will highlight meritorious examples of MCOFs that tackle important issues from their design, synthesis, characterization to cutting-edge applications. © 2020 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Here, tensile strain is applied to quantum emitters embedded in few-layer hBN films and both red and blue spectral shifts are realized with tuning magnitudes up to 65 meV, a record for any 2D quantum source. Reversible tuning of the emission and related photophysical properties is demonstrated. Rotation of the optical dipole in response to strain is also observed, suggesting the presence of a second excited state. A theoretical model is derived to describe strain-based tuning in hBN, and the rotation of the optical dipole. The study demonstrates the immense potential for strain tuning of quantum emitters in layered materials to enable their employment in scalable quantum photonic networks. © 2020 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

By modified fused aryl groups at N -terminal, we found amino acids self-assembled into helical structures at atomic-level that could be incorporated into the modularized, ternary coassembly chiral systems whose supramolecular chirality and chiroptical properties including circularly polarized light absorption and luminescence were precisely programmed. In the solid-states, N -terminal aryl amino acids (alanine and phenylglycine) appended with pyrene segments self-assembled into α-helix-like structures induced by asymmetrical H-bonds between carboxylic acid and amide segments, further inducing supramolecular tilted chirality of achiral aryl groups. These building units were capable of binding melamine and electron deficient building block via duplex H-bonds and charge-transfer interactions in an orthogonal way. Complexation in binary coassemblies arouses significant chiroptical variations. Charge-transfer interaction enhances the dissymmetry g-factor of absorption (g abs ) by 1~2 order of magnitudes (up to 1.4×10 -2 ) with extended Cotton effect active region (from 250 nm to 600 nm). Incorporating melamine pronouncedly inverts the handedness of circularly polarized luminescence, and selectively boosts the dissymmetry g-factor (g lum ). Melamine also induced the emergence of macroscopic chirality at nanoscale, whereby two dimensional lamellar structures from aryl amino acids are transformed into one dimensional helices at nanoscale. Exclusively, aryl phenylglycine synergistically integrate melamine and charge-transfer species into ternary component complexes, which self-assembled into giant tubular structures at microscale via helical scrolling process. © 2020 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
