Abstract
The sensitive determination of folate receptors (FRs) in the early stages of cancer is of great significance for controlling the progression of cancerous cells. Many folic acid (FA)-based electrochemical biosensors have been utilized to detect FRs with promising performances, but most were complicated, non-reproducible, non-biocompatible, and time and cost consuming. Here, we developed an environmentally friendly and sensitive biosensor for FR detection. We proposed an electrochemical impedimetric biosensor formed by nanofibers (NFs) of bio-copolymers prepared by electrospinning. The biosensor combines the advantages of bio-friendly polymers, such as sodium alginate (SA) and polyethylene oxide (PEO) as an antifouling polymer, with FA as a biorecognition element. The NF nanocomposites were characterized using various techniques, including SEM, FTIR, zeta potential (ZP), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). We evaluated the performance of the NF biosensor using EIS and demonstrated FR detection in plasma with a limit of detection of 3 pM. Furthermore, the biosensor showed high selectivity, reliability, and good stability when stored for two months. This biosensor was constructed from 'green credentials' holding polymers that are highly needed in the new paradigm shift in the medical industry.

Abstract
Non-enzymatic electrochemical sensors with significant advantages of high sensitivity, long-term stability, and excellent reproducibility, are one promising technology to solve many challenges, such as the detection of toxic substances and viruses. Among various materials, perovskite oxides have become a promising candidate for use in non-enzymatic electrochemical sensors because of their low cost, flexible structure, and high intrinsic catalytic activity. A comprehensive overview of the recent advances in perovskite oxides for non-enzymatic electrochemical sensors is provided, which includes the synthesis methods of nanostructured perovskites and the electrocatalytic mechanisms of perovskite catalysts. The better sensing performance of perovskite oxides is mainly due to the lattice O vacancies and superoxide oxygen ions (O22-/O-), which are generated by the transfer of lattice oxygen to adsorbed -OH and have performed excellent properties suitable for electrooxidation of analytes. However, the limited electron transfer kinetics, stability, and selectivity of perovskite oxides alone make perovskite oxides far from ready for scientific development. Therefore, composites of perovskite oxides with other materials like graphitic carbon, metals, metal compounds, conducting organics, and biomolecules are summarized. Furthermore, a brief section describing the future challenges and the corresponding recommendation is presented in this review.

Social media addiction and emotions during the disaster recovery period-The moderating role of post-COVID timing. PLoS One 2022; 17:e0274898. [PMID: 36264854 PMCID: PMC9584413 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0274898] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2022] [Accepted: 08/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Social media addiction, a recently emerged term in medical science, has attracted the attention of researchers because of its significant physical and psychological effects on its users. The issue has attracted more attention during the COVID era because negative emotions (e.g., anxiety and fear) generated from the COVID pandemic may have increased social media addiction. Therefore, the present study investigates the role of negative emotions and social media addiction (SMA) on health problems during and after the COVID lockdown. METHODS A survey was conducted with 2926 participants aged between 25 and 45 years from all eight divisions of Bangladesh. The data collection period was between 2nd September- 13th October, 2020. Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) was conducted for data analysis by controlling the respondents' working time, leisure time, gender, education, and age. RESULTS Our study showed that social media addiction and time spent on social media impact health. Interestingly, while anxiety about COVID increased social media addition, fear about COIVD reduced social media addition. Among all considered factors, long working hours contributed most to people's health issues, and its impact on social media addiction and hours was much higher than negative emotions. Furthermore, females were less addicted to social media and faced less health challenges than males. CONCLUSION The impacts of negative emotions generated by the COVID disaster on social media addiction and health issues should be reconsidered. Government and employers control people's working time, and stress should be a priority to solve people's social media addiction-related issues.

Abstract
Phosphate is a major nonpoint source pollutant in both the Louisiana local streams as well as in the Gulf of Mexico coastal waters. Phosphates from agricultural run-off have contributed to the eutrophication of global surface waters. Phosphate environmental dissemination and eutrophication problems are not yet well understood. Thus, this study aimed to monitor phosphate in the local watershed to help identify potential hot spots in the local community (Mississippi River, Louisiana) that may contribute to nutrient loading downstream (in the Gulf of Mexico). An electrochemical method using a physical vapor deposited cobalt microelectrode was utilized for phosphate detection using cyclic voltammetry and amperometry. The testing results were utilized to evaluate the phosphate distribution in river water and characterize the performance of the microsensor. Various characterizations, including the limit of detection, sensitivity, and reliability, were conducted by measuring the effect of interferences, including dissolved oxygen, pH, and common ions. The electrochemical sensor performance was validated by comparing the results with the standard colorimetry phosphate detection method. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements were performed to understand the phosphate sensing mechanism on the cobalt electrode. This proof-of-concept sensor chip could be utilized for on-field monitoring using a portable, hand-held potentiostat.

Abstract
Conventional strategies for determining phosphate concentration is limited in efficiency due to the cost, time, and labor that is required in laboratory analysis. Therefore, an on-site and rapid detection sensor for phosphate is urgently needed to characterize phosphate variability in a hydroponic system. Cobalt (Co) is a highly sensitive metal that has shown a selectivity towards phosphate to a certain extent. A disposable phosphate sensor based on the screen-printed electrode (SPE) was developed to exploit the advantages of Co-nanoparticles. A support vector machine regression model was established to predict the concentration of phosphate in the hydroponic solutions. The results showed that Co-nanoparticles improve the detection limit of the sensor in the initial state. Meanwhile, the corrosion of Co-nanoparticles leads to a serious time-drift and instability of the electrodes. On the other hand, the coefficient of variation of the disposable phosphate detection chip is 0.4992%, the sensitivity is 33 mV/decade, and the linear range is 10-1-10-4.56 mol/L. The R2 and mean square error of the buffer-free sensor in the hydroponic solution are 0.9792 and 0.4936, respectively. In summary, the SPE modified by the Co-nanoparticles is a promising low-cost sensor for on-site and rapid measurement of the phosphate concentration in hydroponic solutions.

Abstract
Environmental pollution has always been a global concern, e.g. water eutrophication caused by the high concentrations of phosphorous. It is especially important to detect harmful substances conveniently, quickly and accurately. This study reports a free-standing electrode composed of Ni foam (NF) and in situ grown nanoflakes and nanoflower-like Ni hydrated hydroxide (NHH) on the NF surface (NHH/NF) by a one-step hydrothermal method for phosphate detection. The NHH/NF electrode was directly applied as a binder-free and conductive agent-free working electrode in a three electrode system and showed a wide linear detection range of 10-50,000 μM, high sensitivities of 210 and 87 μA mM-1 cm-2 for the phosphate concentration ranges of 10-14,000 and 14,000-50,000 μM, respectively, and a fast response time of 6 s for phosphate detection in a NaOH solution (pH≈11). The nanostructure of the NHH layer not only provided a large surface area and rapid electron transfer but also protected the NF substrate from being degraded by the electrolyte and interfering species, thereby achieving good stability and selectivity. In addition, for artificial and real wastewater detection, the good recover ability presented here improves the prospects of developing a cost-effective, simple, and accurate sensor for phosphate detection.
