Multivalent mRNA Vaccine Elicits Broad Protection against SARS-CoV-2 Variants of Concern.

SARS-CoV-2 new waves are primarily caused by changes to the spike protein (S), which can substantially decrease the efficacy of vaccines. Therefore, we tested several multivalent mRNA-LNP vaccines, targeting the full-length S proteins of different variants, and identified an optimal combination for protection against VOCs in BALB/c mice. The tested formulations included trivalent (WT + BA.5 + XBB.1.5), pentavalent (WT + BA.5 + XBB.1.5 + BQ.1.1 + CH.1.1), and octavalent (WT + BA.5 + XBB.1.5 + BQ.1.1 + CH.1.1 + Alpha + Delta + BA.2) vaccines. Among these multivalent vaccines, the pentavalent vaccine showed superior protection for almost all tested variants. Despite this, each multivalent vaccine elicited greater broad-spectrum neutralizing antibodies than the previously evaluated bivalent vaccine (WT + BA.5). Subsequently, we redesigned the multivalent vaccine to efficiently generate neutralizing antibodies against recent VOCs, including EG.5.1. Immunization with the redesigned pentavalent vaccine (WT + EG.5.1 + XBB.1.16 + Delta + BA.5) showed moderate levels of protection against recent Omicron VOCs. Results suggest that the neutralization activity of multivalent vaccines is better than those of the tested bivalent vaccines against WT + BA.5 and WT + EG.5.1. Moreover, the pentavalent vaccine we developed may be highly useful for neutralizing new Omicron VOCs.

Preparation of Gradient Polyurethane and Its Performance for Flexible Sensors.

Flexible sensors are prone to the problems of slow recovery rate and large residual strain in practical use. In this paper, a polyurethane functional composite with a gradient change in elastic modulus is proposed as a flexible sensor to meet the recovery rate and residual strain without affecting the motion. Different hard and soft segment ratios are used to synthesize a gradient polyurethane structure. The conductive percolation threshold was obtained between 45 wt% and 50 wt% of flake silver powder. Both gradient polyurethane and gradient polyurethane composites demonstrated that gradient materials can increase the recovery rate and reduce residual strain. The gradient polyurethane composites had a tensile strength of 3.26 MPa, an elastic modulus of 2.58 MPa, an elongation at break of 245%, a sensitivity coefficient of 1.20 at 0-25% deformation, a sensitivity coefficient of 11.38 at 25-75% deformation, a rate of recovery of 1.95 s at a time, and a resistance to fatigue (over 1000 cycles at a fixed strain of 20% showed a stable electrical response). The sensing performance under different cyclic strain frequencies was also investigated. The process has practical applications in the field of wearable skin motion and health monitoring.

An Ionic Liquid Supramolecular Gel Electrolyte with Unique Wide Operating Temperature Range Properties for Zinc-Ion Batteries.

Zinc-ion batteries are promising candidates for large-scale energy storage. The side reactions of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and zinc dendrite growth are major challenges for developing high-performance zinc-ion batteries. In this paper, a supramolecular gel electrolyte (BLO-ILZE) was self-assembled in an ionic liquid (EMIMBF4) with zinc tetrafluoroborate (Zn(BF4)2) on the separator in situ to obtain a gel electrolyte used in zinc-ion batteries. BLO-ILZE is demonstrated to significantly enhance conductivity over a broad temperature range between -70 and 100 °C. Interestingly, through testing and fitting, it is found that the supramolecular gel electrolyte satisfies the liquid state law over a wide temperature range, and even achieves high conductivity (2.12 mS cm-1) at -40 °C. It is equivalent to the conductivity of aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZnSO4/H2O) at -10 °C, which is 2.33 mS cm-1. Moreover, the supramolecular gel electrolyte can effectively inhibit the HER, thus exhibiting a longer lifetime in Zn/Zn cells for 3470 h at 1 mA cm-2 compared to the aqueous zinc-ion batteries with the Zn(BF4)2 aqueous electrolyte (400 h at 1 mA cm-2). The assembled V2O5/BLO-ILZE/Zn full cells also showed cycling performance, with 5000 cycles at 0.5 mA g-1 at room temperature, a capacity of 98%, and a coulombic efficiency of about 100%.

MOF-modified dendrite-free gel polymer electrolyte for zinc-ion batteries.

Zinc-ion batteries are promising candidates for large-scale energy storage, and gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) play an important role in zinc-ion battery applications. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are characterized by large specific surface areas and ordered pores. This highly ordered microporous structure provides a continuous transport channel for ions, thus realizing the high-speed transmission of ions. In this paper, an MOF-modified dendrite-free GPE was designed. The incorporation of MOF particles not only reduces the crystallinity of the polymer, increases the motility of the molecular chains, and facilitates the transfer of Zn2+, but also attracts anions to reduce polarization during electrochemical reactions. It was shown that this MOF-modified gel polymer electrolyte has a higher ionic conductivity compared to other PVDF-based polymer electrolytes (approximate range of 2 × 10-4 to 3 × 10-3 S cm-1), with a very high conductivity (1.63 mS cm-1) even at -20 °C. The Zn/Zn symmetric cell could maintain operation for more than 3600 h at a current density of 1 mA cm-2, and SEM showed that the MOF-modified gel electrolyte had uniform Zn2+ deposition.

Pressure injury risk factors in patients undergoing general anesthesia surgeries.

BACKGROUND: Pressure injuries result from prolonged pressure and lead to tissue damage, infections, extended recovery times, and an economic burden. PURPOSE: To explore risk factors for pressure injuries in patients who underwent surgery under general anesthesia. METHODS: This retrospective study included patients who underwent surgery at a regional educational hospital in southern Taiwan from January 1, 2018, through December 31, 2018. RESULTS: A comprehensive multivariate analysis was used to identify the prominent risk factors for pressure injury among the 11 231 patients enrolled in this study. These risk factors were an age of ≥65 years; surgery duration of >120 minutes; diastolic blood pressure of <60 mm Hg for >30 minutes during surgery; intraoperative use of dopamine, norepinephrine, or epinephrine as vasopressors; American Society of Anesthesiologists physical classification of III or higher; minimum intraoperative body temperature of ≤35°C; blood loss of >500 mL; and a supine or prone surgical position. CONCLUSIONS: This study identified several pressure injury risk factors related to surgical conditions and patient characteristics. Surgical teams must monitor, control, and manage these factors, prioritize staff education, and adopt preventive protocols.

Ru-regulated electronic structure CoNi-MOF nanosheets advance water electrolysis kinetics in alkaline and seawater media.

Herein, an ion-exchange strategy is utilized to greatly improve the kinetics of hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) by Ru-modified CoNi- 1,3,5-Benzenetricarboxylic acid (BTC)-metal organic framework nanosheets (Ru@CoNi-MOF). Due to the higher Ni active sites and lower electron transfer impedance, Ru@CoNi-MOF catalyst requires the overpotential as low as 47 and 279 mV, at a current density of 10 mA/cm2 toward HER and OER, respectively. Significantly, the mass activity of Ru@CoNi-MOF for HER and OER are 25.9 and 10.6 mA mg-1, nearly 15.2 and 8.8 times higher than that of Ni-MOF. In addition, the electrolyzer of Ru@CoNi-MOF demonstrates exceptional electrolytic performance in both KOH and seawater environment, surpasses the commercial Pt/C||IrO2 couple. Theoretical calculations prove that introducing Ru atoms in - CoNi-MOF modulates the electronic structure of Ni, optimizes adsorption energy for H* and reduces energy barrier of metal organic frameworks (MOFs). This modification significantly improves the kinetic rate of the Ru@CoNi-MOF during water splitting. Certainly, this study highlights the utilization of MOF nanosheets as advanced HER/OER electrocatalysts with immense potential, and will paves a way to develop more efficient MOFs for catalytic applications.

Different microbial communities in paddy soils under organic and nonorganic farming.

Organic agriculture is a farming method that provides healthy food and is friendly to the environment, and it is developing rapidly worldwide. This study compared microbial communities in organic farming (Or) paddy fields to those in nonorganic farming (Nr) paddy fields based on 16S rDNA sequencing and analysis. The predominant microorganisms in both soils were Proteobacteria, Chloroflexi, Acidobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Nitrospirota. The alpha diversity of the paddy soil microbial communities was not different between the nonorganic and organic farming systems. The beta diversity of nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) revealed that the two groups were significantly separated. Distance-based redundancy analysis (db-RDA) suggested that soil pH and electrical conductivity (EC) had a positive relationship with the microbes in organic paddy soils. There were 23 amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) that showed differential abundance. Among them, g_B1-7BS (Proteobacteria), s_Sulfuricaulis limicola (Proteobacteria), g_GAL15 (p_GAL15), c_Thermodesulfovibrionia (Nitrospirota), two of f_Anaerolineaceae (Chloroflexi), and two of g_S085 (Chloroflexi) showed that they were more abundant in organic soils, whereas g_11-24 (Acidobacteriota), g__Subgroup_7 (Acidobacteriota), and g_Bacillus (Firmicutes) showed differential abundance in nonorganic paddy soils. Functional prediction of microbial communities in paddy soils showed that functions related to carbohydrate metabolism could be the major metabolic activities. Our work indicates that organic farming differs from nonorganic farming in terms of microbial composition in paddy soils and provides specific microbes that might be helpful for understanding soil fertility.

Emergence of Weyl fermions by ferrimagnetism in a noncentrosymmetric magnetic Weyl semimetal.

Condensed matter physics has often provided a platform for investigating the interplay between particles and fields in cases that have not been observed in high-energy physics. Here, using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we provide an example of this by visualizing the electronic structure of a noncentrosymmetric magnetic Weyl semimetal candidate NdAlSi in both the paramagnetic and ferrimagnetic states. We observe surface Fermi arcs and bulk Weyl fermion dispersion as well as the emergence of new Weyl fermions in the ferrimagnetic state. Our results establish NdAlSi as a magnetic Weyl semimetal and provide an experimental observation of ferrimagnetic regulation of Weyl fermions in condensed matter.

Using polyacrylamide hydrogel to adsorb chloride ions in cement-based materials.

Concrete material is an important engineering material for modern marine engineering construction, but the presence of chloride ions in sea sand and seawater can cause corrosion of reinforcing steel, which greatly endangers the safety of reinforced concrete structures. Gel is an environmental friendly functional material which has the functions of exchange and adsorption of ions. Therefore, in this paper, polyacrylamide (PAM) gels were prepared for chloride ions adsorption in a reinforced concrete system. The chloride ions adsorption behavior of PAM gel in simulated seawater and cement were investigated and the maximum adsorption capacity of chloride ions in simulated seawater was 32.67 mg g-1. In addition, compared with the cement sample without gel, the chloride ion content in the cement sample containing 1.5 wt% gel was reduced 46.8% at a depth of 0-2.5 mm from the sample's surface. The results showed that PAM gel can effectively adsorb the chloride ion and improve the chloride ion penetration resistance in cement because the three-dimensional network structure of PAM gels allowed chloride ions to enter the inside of the gel. This gel has potential applications in the field of marine construction.

Vertebral artery sparing volumetric modulated arc therapy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Vascular stenosis is a late radiation complication that develops in long-term survivors of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Vertebral arteries (VAs) are major vessels responsible for posterior circulation. In this study, we evaluated the feasibility of VA-sparing volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) techniques. A total of 20 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma treated by a TrueBeam linear accelerator were enrolled in this study. The original VMAT plan was designed without the contouring of VAs as organs at risk (OARs). The same image set of the original VMAT plan was used to contour the VAs for each patient. A new VA-sparing VMAT plan was developed by avoiding VAs as OARs. Finally, a paired t-test was used to compare the dosimetric differences. The VA-sparing VMAT plan had similar target coverage and dose to those of other OARs. The VA-sparing plan yielded a significantly low VA dose from 53 to 40 Gy, with V35Gy changing from 97% to 56%, V50Gy changing from 67% to 35%, and V63Gy changing from 15% to approximately 7%-10% (p < 0.001 for all comparisons). VAs should be correctly identified as OARs. Photon VMAT with VA sparing can help substantially decrease the VA dose.

Impaired colonic motility in high-glycemic diet-induced diabetic mice is associated with disrupted gut microbiota and neuromuscular function.

Background: Similar to the high-fat diet (HFD), the high-glycemic diet (HGD) contributes to the development and progression of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the effect of HGD on gastrointestinal motility in T2DM and its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Methods: Thirty C57BL/6J mice were randomly designated into the normal-feeding diet (NFD) group, HFD group, and HGD group. The plasma glucose, plasma insulin, and gastrointestinal motility were examined. Meanwhile, the tension of isolated colonic smooth muscle rings was calculated, and the gut microbiota was analyzed by 16s rDNA high-throughput sequencing. Result: After 16 weeks of HGD feeding, obesity, hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and constipation were observed in HGD mice. Autonomic contraction frequency of the colonic neuromuscular system and electrical field stimulation-induced contractions were reduced in HGD mice. On the contrary, neuronal nitric oxide synthase activity and neuromuscular relaxation were found to be enhanced. Finally, gut microbiota analysis revealed that Rhodospirillaceae abundance significantly increased at the family level in HGD mice. At the genus level, the abundance of Insolitispirillum increased remarkably, whereas Turicibacter abundance decreased significantly in HGD mice. Conclusion: HGD induced constipation in obese diabetic mice, which we speculated that it may be related to neuromuscular dysmotility and intestinal microbiota dysbiosis.

Dual inhibition of BTLA and PD-1 can enhance therapeutic efficacy of paclitaxel on intraperitoneally disseminated tumors.

BACKGROUND: Expression of immune checkpoints in the tumor microenvironment is one mechanism underlying paclitaxel (PTX) chemoresistance. This study aimed to investigate whether the addition of checkpoint blockade to PTX can improve the therapeutic efficacy against apparently disseminated intraperitoneal tumors. METHODS: We analyzed the in vivo expression of various immune checkpoints in CD3+CD8+ cytotoxic T cells from tumor-bearing mice treated with or without PTX and validated the tumor-killing activities of selected checkpoint-expressing T-cell subpopulations ex vivo. The regulation of selected checkpoints was investigated in vitro. The therapeutic effects of inhibition of a targeted checkpoint pathway with antibodies added to PTX therapy were examined. RESULTS: CD3+CD8+ T cells expressed with herpes virus entry mediator (HVEM), programmed cell death 1 (PD-1), and T-cell immunoglobulin domain and mucin domain 3 (TIM-3) in tumor-bearing hosts treated with PTX had effective tumoricidal activities. In addition to PTX and cytokines, B and T lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA) or homologous to lymphotoxin, exhibits inducible expression and competes with herpes simplex virus (HSV) glycoprotein D for binding to HVEM, a receptor expressed on T lymphocytes (LIGHT) interacting with HVEM can regulate the expression of PD-1 on CD3+CD8+ T cells. Interleukin (IL)-15 increased the percentage of HVEMhighgranzyme B (GZMB)+ cells among CD3+CD8+ T cells, which was suppressed by the BTLA/HVEM signal. LIGHT induced the percentage of HVEM+GZMB+ cells but not HVEMhighGZMB+ cells among CD3+CD8+ T cells. Expression of IL-15, BTLA, or LIGHT was detected in CD19+ B cells and regulated by damage-associated molecular patterns/Toll-like receptor interactions. In the tumor-bearing hosts treated with PTX, certain proportions of BTLA+ B or PD-1+ T lymphocytes were still noted. When dual inhibition of BTLA and PD-1 was added to PTX, the antitumor effects on intraperitoneally disseminated tumors can be significantly improved. CONCLUSIONS: Dual blockade of BTLA on B cells and PD-1 on cytotoxic T cells may have clinical potential for enhancing the efficacy of PTX in the treatment of tumors with intraperitoneal spread, including epithelial ovarian carcinomas.

A Study on the Impermeability of Nanodispersible Modified Bentonite Based on Colloidal Osmotic Pressure Mechanisms and the Adsorption of Harmful Substances.

With the growing demands of human beings, sanitary landfill, along with the increase in landfill depth and leachate water pressure, has put forward new and higher requirements for the impermeable layer. In particular, it is required to have a certain adsorption capacity of harmful substances from the perspective of environmental protection. Hence, the impermeability of polymer bentonite-sand mixtures (PBTS) at different water pressure and the adsorption properties of polymer bentonite (PBT) on contaminants were investigated through the modification of PBT using betaine compounded with sodium polyacrylate (SPA). It was found that the composite modification of betaine and SPA could reduce the average particle size of PBT dispersed in water (reduced to 106 nm from 201 nm) and enhance the swelling properties. As the content of SPA increased, the hydraulic conductivity of PBTS system decreases and the permeability resistance improves, while the resistance to external water pressure increases. It is proposed a concept of the potential of osmotic pressure in a constrained space to explain the impermeability mechanism of PBTS. The potential of osmotic pressure obtained by linear extrapolation of the trendline of colloidal osmotic pressure versus mass content of PBT could represent the external water pressure that the PBT resist. Additionally, the PBT also has a high adsorption capacity for both organic pollutants and heavy metal ions. The adsorption rate of PBT was up to 99.36% for phenol; up to 99.9% for methylene blue; and 99.89%, 99.9%, and 95.7% for low concentrations of Pb2+, Cd2+, and Hg+, respectively. This work is expected to provide strong technical support for the future development in the field of impermeability and removal of hazardous substances (organic and heavy metals).

Bivalent mRNA vaccine effectiveness against SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern.

BACKGROUND: Sequential infections with SARS-CoV-2 variants such as Alpha, Delta, Omicron and its sublineages may cause high morbidity, so it is necessary to develop vaccines that can protect against both wild-type (WT) virus and its variants. Mutations in SARS-CoV-2's spike protein can easily alter viral transmission and vaccination effectiveness. METHODS: In this study, we designed full-length spike mRNAs for WT, Alpha, Delta, and BA.5 variants and integrated each into monovalent or bivalent mRNA-lipid nanoparticle vaccines. A pseudovirus neutralization assay was conducted on immunized mouse sera in order to examine the neutralizing potential of each vaccine. RESULTS: Monovalent mRNA vaccines were only effective against the same type of virus. Interestingly, monovalent BA.5 vaccination could neutralize BF.7 and BQ.1.1. Moreover, WT, Alpha, Delta, BA.5, and BF.7 pseudoviruses were broadly neutralized by bivalent mRNA vaccinations, such as BA.5 + WT, BA.5 + Alpha, and BA.5 + Delta. In particular, BA.5 + WT exhibited high neutralization against most variants of concern (VOCs) in a pseudovirus neutralization assay. CONCLUSIONS: Our results show that combining two mRNA sequences may be an effective way to develop a broadly protective SARS-CoV-2 vaccine against a wide range of variant types. Importantly, we provide the optimal combination regimen and propose a strategy that may prove useful in combating future VOCs.

Effect of extended field-of-view approaches on the accuracy of stopping power ratio estimation for single-energy computed tomography simulators.

BACKGROUND: Extended field-of-view (eFOV) methods have been proposed to generate larger demonstration FOVs for computed tomography (CT) simulators with a limited scanning FOV (sFOV) size in order to ensure accurate dose calculation and patient collision avoidance. Although the efficacy of these strategies has been evaluated for photon applications, the effect of stopping power ratio (SPR) estimation on proton therapy has not been studied. This study investigated the effect of an eFOV approach on the accuracy of SPR to water estimation in homogeneous and heterogeneous phantoms. MATERIALS AND METHODS: To simulate patient geometries, tissue-equivalent material (TEM) and customized extension phantoms were used. The TEM phantom supported various rod arrangements through predefined holes. Images were reconstructed to three FOV sizes using a commercial eFOV technique. A single-energy CT stoichiometric method was used to generate Hounsfield unit (HU) to SPR (HU-to-SPR) conversion curves for each FOV. To investigate the effect of rod location in the sFOV and eFOV regions, eight TEM rods were placed at off-center distances in the homogeneous phantom and scanned individually. Similarly, 16 TEM rods were placed in the heterogeneous TEM phantom and scanned simultaneously. RESULTS: The conversion curves derived from the sFOV and eFOV data were identical. The average SPR differences of soft-tissue, bone, and lung materials for rods placed at various off-center locations were 3.3%, 4.8%, and 39.6%, respectively. In the heterogeneous phantom, the difference was within 1.0% in the absence of extension. However, in the presence of extension, the difference increased to 2.8% for all rods, except for lung materials, whose difference was 4.8%. CONCLUSIONS: When an eFOV method is used, the SPR variation in phantoms considerably increases for all TEM rods, especially for lung TEM rods. This phenomenon may substantially increase the uncertainty of HU-to-SPR conversion. Therefore, image reconstruction with a standard FOV size is recommended.

Broadly neutralizing antibodies against Omicron variants of SARS-CoV-2 derived from mRNA-lipid nanoparticle-immunized mice.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to threaten human health worldwide as new variants of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) emerge. Currently, the predominant circulating strains around the world are Omicron variants, which can evade many therapeutic antibodies. Thus, the development of new broadly neutralizing antibodies remains an urgent need. In this work, we address this need by using the mRNA-lipid nanoparticle immunization method to generate a set of Omicron-targeting monoclonal antibodies. Five of our novel K-RBD-mAbs show strong binding and neutralizing activities toward all SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta and Omicron). Notably, the epitopes of these five K-RBD-mAbs are overlapping and localized around Y453 and F486 of the spike protein receptor binding domain (RBD). Chimeric derivatives of the five antibodies (K-RBD-chAbs) neutralize Omicron sublineages BA.1 and BA.2 with low IC50 values ranging from 5.7 to 12.9 ng/mL. Additionally, we performed antibody humanization on broadly neutralizing chimeric antibodies to create K-RBD-hAb-60 and -62, which still retain excellent neutralizing activity against Omicron. Our results collectively suggest that these five therapeutic antibodies may effectively combat current and emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants, including Omicron BA.1 and BA.2. Therefore, the antibodies can potentially be used as universal neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2.

Efficient low-density grating setup for monochromatization of XUV ultrafast light sources.

Ultrafast light sources have become an indispensable tool to access and understand transient phenomenon in material science. However, a simple and easy-to-implement method for harmonic selection, with high transmission efficiency and pulse duration conservation, is still a challenge. Here we showcase and compare two approaches for selecting the desired harmonic from a high harmonic generation source while achieving the above goals. The first approach is the combination of extreme ultraviolet spherical mirrors with transmission filters and the second approach uses a normal-incidence spherical grating. Both solutions target time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy with photon energies in the 10-20 eV range but are relevant for other experimental techniques as well. The two approaches for harmonic selection are characterized in terms of focusing quality, photon flux, and temporal broadening. It is demonstrated that a focusing grating is able to provide much higher transmission as compared to the mirror+filter approach (3.3 times higher for 10.8 eV and 12.9 times higher for 18.1 eV), with only a slight temporal broadening (6.8% increase) and a somewhat larger spot size (∼30% increase). Overall, our study establishes an experimental perspective on the trade-off between a single grating normal incidence monochromator design and the use of filters. As such, it provides a basis for selecting the most appropriate approach in various fields where an easy-to-implement harmonic selection from high harmonic generation is needed.

Development and validation of Chinese college students' future employability scale.

COVID-19 and the pandemic-induced lockdowns juxtaposed against the surge in the number of college graduates have made the dilemma of "fierce competition and difficult employment" more real. The employment of college students has become a topic of serious concern in society. This study aimed to develop a Future Employability Scale for Chinese college students and evaluate its reliability and validity. Based on the analysis of the literature, the study developed the initial measurement scale of the college students' future employability and calibrated the initial measurement and question volume based on experts' feedback. First, the students' group was measured, and data from 389 university students were collected and analyzed. Second, the data collection and verification factor analysis of 387 university students were collected and verified, and the internal consistency reliability, split-half reliability, and validity of the scale were evaluated. Further, 68 college students were selected to evaluate their test-retest reliability after an interval of one month. The Future Employability Scale of college students had 28 items covering four dimensions: knowledge skill, personality quality, interpersonal network, and career development. The reliability test found that the total scale of the Future Employability Scale and the internal consistency reliability, split-half reliability, and retest reliability of each dimension were good, and the validity test suggested that the scale had good content validity, structural validity, and calibration correlation validity. With a clear structure, good reliability, and validity, the Future Employability Scale is a good tool to measure the future employability of college students.
