Objectives: The aim of structured education for type 2 diabetes is to improve knowledge, skills and confidence in self-management. It is recommended in the UK for everyone who is newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. We developed an on-line programme called HeLP-Diabetes: Starting Out to address poor uptake of face-to-face structured education. The aim of this paper is to describe the intervention in line with the Template for Intervention Description and Replication guide, which calls for better reporting of interventions.
Methods: The Template for Intervention Description and Replication guide provided the item headings for the description. These included the theoretical underpinning, materials, procedures, providers, and mode of delivery.
Results: The programme was developed to meet NICE requirements for structured education and therefore followed a structured curriculum with four sessions covering content such as what diabetes is and how it is treated, possible complications, and how lifestyle changes can improve health. Content was delivered in text, images and video, and behaviour change techniques, self-assessment and feedback were used to help people target key health behaviours. The programme was delivered entirely online, but the team were available for support via telephone. Email feedback and reminders were sent.
Conclusions: The TIDieR checklist allowed us to provide a clear structure for the description of the intervention. However, it could not capture the full complexity of the programme, and intervention developers considering using it in the future may find that it needs to be adapted to make it more specific to their intervention.

As emerging cutting-edge energy storage technologies, aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) have garnered extensive research attention for its high safety, low cost, abundant raw materials, and, eco-friendliness. Nevertheless, the commercialization of AZIBs is mainly limited by insufficient development of cathode materials. Among potential candidates, MXene-based materials stand out as a promising option for their unique combination of hydrophilicity and conductivity.

Anxiety and depression disorders show high prevalence rates, and stress is a significant risk factor for both. However, studies investigating the interplay between anxiety, depression, and stress regulation in the brain are scarce. The present manuscript included 124 law students from the LawSTRESS project.

Dynamic responsive structural colored materials have drawn increased consideration in a wide range of applications, such as colorimetric sensors and high-safety tags. However, the sophisticated interactions among the individual responsive parts restrict the advanced design of multimodal responsive photonic materials. Inspired by stimuli-responsive color change in chameleon skin, a simple and effective photo-crosslinking strategy is proposed to construct hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) based hydrogels with multiple responsive structured colors.

Electrochemical CO reduction (CORR) in membrane electrode assembly (MEA) represents a viable strategy for converting CO into value-added multi-carbon (C) compounds. Therefore, the microstructure of the catalyst layer (CL) affects local gas transport, charge conduction, and proton supply at three-phase interfaces, which is significantly determined by the solvent environment. However, the microenvironment of the CLs and the mechanism of the solvent effect on C selectivity remains elusive.
