Triplet generation and upper critical field in superconducting spin valves based on CrO2

It has been recently reported that a superconducting triplet spin valve (TSV) based on the half-metallic CrO 2 can show “colossal” variations of the critical temperature, up to more than 1 K. This can be achieved when the magnetic noncollinearity between the mixer (F 1 ) and the drainage ferromagnetic layer (F) is maximized. In this work we investigate further such TSV devices looking at two aspects: ﬁrst, we present the dependence of the TSV effect on the thickness of the mixer layer; second, we look at the perpendicular upper critical ﬁeld H c 2 ⊥ as a function of the temperature. The thickness dependence, which is nonmonotonic as expected, represents a further proof that the effect is due to the generation of equal-spin triplet Cooper pairs, while what we observe for the H c 2 ⊥ versus T curves is an interesting and peculiar behavior: there is a clear deviation from the universal linear dependence and the average slope is suppressed much more than what can be described with the formalism used for conventional proximized structures.
Uniform attractors for a phase transition model coupling momentum balance and phase dynamics

In this paper we are concerned with the uniform attractor for a nonautonomous dynamical system related to the Fremond thermo-mechanical model of shape memory alloys. The dynamical system consists of a diffusive equation for the phase proportions coupled with the hyperbolic momentum balance equation, in the case when a damping term is considered in the latter and the temperature field is prescribed. We prove that the solution to the related initial-boundary value problem yields a semiprocess which is continuous on the proper phase space and satisfies a dissipativity property. Then we show the existence of a unique compact and connected uniform attractor for the system.
The Use of Optimistic Tone by Ethical Firms' Leaders

This study analyzes the annual letter to shareholders of firms that have been recognized for their ethical practices to reveal a verbal tone that can characterize their leaders. This study identifies 63 Chairs/CEOs, representing 63 firms that had been listed among the world’s most ethical companies for three consecutive years (or more). Using DICTION software, their letters were analyzed for five general tones (certainty, activity, optimism, realism and commonality). The comparisons between the whole-sample tone and DICTION's 'normal range' of tones shows consistently that their letters to shareholders exhibit a strong tone of optimism, compared to their peers from Fortune 500 companies, social activists, religious leaders and political campaigners.
Organizational Citizenship Behavior and Organizational Justice; Mediatory Role of Job Satisfaction and Knowledge Sharing

The current investigation emphasizes the association among views of justice (across all three dimensions) and organizational citizenship behavior, as well as any potential mediating impact of job satisfaction and knowledge sharing. This investigation looks at the three aspects of justice perceptions. Data were obtained from 304 workers in Karachi's service industry utilizing cross-sectional surveys and quantitative techniques. Smart Pls 3 was applied for examining the data, and the results indicated that the relationship between the sense of justice and citizenship behavior is mediated by job satisfaction, but that knowledge sharing does not mediate within them. The research demonstrates that OJ and OCB have a substantial and favorable association and that OCB is profoundly affected by each justice in organizations and job satisfaction. On the other hand, the examination has constraints mainly because it only explores the impact of two mediators on OCB and three organizational justice dimensions. Data collection relied on convenience sampling of workers from service-providing firms in Karachi, and the study did not consider the longitudinal effect due to time constraints. Future research can delve deeper into the relationship between these variables by incorporating demographic factors in testing models, examining multiple contributing factors to job satisfaction, and including additional variables in the analysis for a comprehensive understanding of OCB, particularly in the manufacturing industry. Conducting the study in different cities and regions in Pakistan can also broaden the view of the population's perceptions of justice and OCB. This study addresses the pressing need to address issues such as organizational justice and how they can be tackled within the vicinity of work.
Determination of IFN -γ and TNF -α levels in serum of patients with Cutaneous leishmaniasis

Cutaneous leishmaniasis, is common parasitic disease in Iraq, it is caused by unicellular protozoa that belong to the genus Leishmania which infecting human macrophages, and it is induce human humoral and cellular immune responses. Many cytokines are excreted during this response, however IFN -γ and TNF -α are the most important factors in the inception of immunity against leishmania spp. The present study aimed to estimate the serum level of TNF-α and IFN-Ƴ in patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Out of 62 patients with CL lesion the infection rate was higher in males 36 (58%) than females 26 (42%), also the highest infection rate 29 (46.8%) was in age group (less than 1 -10years), and the lowest infection rate 18 (2.4%) was in the age group (51-60). Blood samples collected from 62 patients with CL and 27 healthy individual. The results showed that the level of serum IFN-Y (38.23 pg/mL) in patients with CL was significantly higher than control group (21.98 pg/mL). As well as the results indicated a significantly increase in the levels of TNF-α in patients serum with CL (46.53 pg / mL) than control group (23 pg / ml).
Olfactory and Gustatory Dysfunctions Following COVID-19 Infection: Factors That Affect Their Duration in Saudi Arabia

Introduction: Many people infected with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have developed post-COVID-19 symptoms, which are defined as symptoms and signs (e.g., anosmia and ageusia) that persist for more than 12 weeks after getting infected with COVID-19. These symptoms may appear after or during the infection and cannot be explained by any alternative disease. In this study, we aim to investigate the factors that affect the duration of anosmia and ageusia in Saudi Arabia. Methods: We conducted a nationwide, cross-sectional study using an online survey in Saudi Arabia from 14 February 2022 to 23 July 2022. The electronic survey was distributed using social media platforms, such as Twitter, WhatsApp, and Telegram. Result: The study enrolled 2497 individuals who were infected with COVID-19. A total of 60.1% of the participants showed symptoms of anosmia, ageusia, or both after getting infected with COVID-19. According to our data, we found that being a female and not having a repeated COVID-19 infection were risk factors (independent predictors) of the long duration of anosmia after COVID-19 recovery (p = <0.05). While being a male patient, a smoker, and being admitted to the ICU were risk factors (independent predictors) of long duration of ageusia after COVID-19 recovery (p = <0.05). Conclusion: In conclusion, the prevalence of chemosensory dysfunction symptoms, both olfactory and gustatory, after COVID-19 infection among the Saudi population was high. However, several factors can influence their duration, including gender, smoking, and severity of the infection.
Neurolinguistics: A scientometric review

Abstract This scientometric study aimed to map the knowledge domains of neurolinguistics, an interdisciplinary field of linguistics, to provide a comprehensive understanding of the development process and structural relationships of scientific knowledge in neuroscience. A total of 5,104 neurolinguistics documents published between 1913 and 2022 were analysed and visualized from three databases, Scopus, WOS, and Lens, using CiteSpace 5.8. R3 and VOSviewer 1.6. 18. Knowledge production was mapped by country, university, journal, publisher, research field, and author, and examined using scientometric indicators, including co-citation networks, citation networks, sigma metrics, and clusters of topics. The identified clusters include discourse processing of flexible word order language language-ready brain, and language talent in cultural neurolinguistics; object knowledge of agrammatic aphasia; early experience of cerebral localization; language in autism spectrum disorder; and language evolution in relation to cognitive adequacy in language-ready brain. This study provides valuable insights into the field of neurolinguistics and offers a visual representation of the development process of scientific knowledge in neuroscience.
Unification and separation in a functional theory of morphology

This paper offers the initial design for a functional theory of morphology and addresses the question of how much unification or separation of domains and units is required in such a theory. Given that morphology is largely driven by principles that also rule syntax and semantics, the main thrust of this proposal is that the interaction between morphology and other areas of the theory can be adequately accounted for by the combination of three descriptive-explanatory resources: layered structures, templates and constructions. Other descriptiveexplanatory principles such as feature percolation and the characteristics of bases and adjuncts remain specifically morphological. Unification and separation in morphology must be carried out on functional grounds. Moreover, Old English evidence shows that no strict separation can be postulated, either between morphology and the rest of the theory or among the different morphological processes.
A National Analysis of the Impact of Performance-Based Funding on Completion Outcomes Among Underserved Students

Abstract:The majority of states in the U.S. have adopted a performance-based funding (PBF) policy, but we know very little about how PBF adoption affects completion outcomes among underserved subgroups of students or whether specific design elements of PBF policies exacerbate inequities facing traditionally disadvantaged students. In this study, we show that high-dosage PBF policies had a negative impact on bachelor’s degree production among racially minoritized students but a positive impact on bachelor’s degree production among white students. We also report a positive impact on bachelor’s degree production among adult students when the PBF policy included a targeted incentive for graduating adult students, suggesting that PBF policy design represents a critical but understudied area of study with implications for underserved students.
Determinants of rural-urban migration and its impact on migrant-sending households’ livelihood security in Gurage zone, Ethiopia

Abstract The study identified the variables that affect rural-urban migration and how it impacts the stability of household livelihood. Descriptive statistics, ivprobit regression, and the dose response function were all used to examine the data. Livestock holding, family size, access to information, number of cultivated fields, soil infertility, distance in kilometers to the nearest town, and distance in kilometers to the farmer training centers were the factors driving rural-urban migration. The impact of remittances on household livelihood security is positive and improved over time with relatively broad confidence ranges. It increased the livelihood security of migrant-sending households by 13.6% and the overall population by 10.99%. Higher levels of remittance had a greater impact on household livelihood security with a 40% local minimum dose. Stakeholders were given a list of policy issues and strategies for dealing with the underlying causes of rural-urban migration and maximize remittance gains.
Evaluation of Plasmid Mediated Drugs Resistance among Wound Bacterial Infection Obtained from Patients Attending some Hospitals in Kano State, Nigeria

This study was carried out to evaluate the plasmid mediated drugs resistance among wound bacteria isolates obtained from (352 swabs specimens) patients attending some hospitals in Kano State (National Orthopaedic Hospital Dala, Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital, Infectious Diseases Hospital, Bichi General Hospital and Wudil General Hospital). Swab specimens were obtained aseptically using the randomized sampling method and cultured on Blood and MacConkey agar media and incubated aerobically and anaerobically for 24 hours. Result showed that two hundred and twelve (212, 60.23%) out of 352 harbors some bacteria, which consist of six different species (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus and Streptocoocus pyogenes) as isolated from wound swabs specimens. S. aureus (39%) and S. pyogenes (7%) showed the highest and the lowest prevalences respectively. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was done using the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion technique on Mueller-Hinton agar, where 140 (66%) isolates were susceptible while 72 (34%) isolates were resistant. Bacteria isolates exhibited the highest resistance to Cefixime, Azithromycin and Erythromycin and least resistance to Ciprofloxacin (most effective/active) among the antibiotics used. The resistant isolates were subjected to curing experiment. Plasmid detection and isolation showed that out of 72 resistant isolates, 49 contain plasmids which accounts for 68%. After plasmid curing and second sensitivity test, 38 (78%) isolates that were initially resistant becomesusceptible to the same antibiotics used. Hence, post plasmid-curing sensitivity test revealed increased susceptibility pattern of isolates to the previously used antibiotics. This indicates that plasmid-borne multidrug resistant gene had been denatured by the sodium dodecyl sulfate used as the curing agent. Therefore, this study justifies the need to encourage infection control, and proper treatment to prevent the spread and re-emergence of plasmid-mediated drugs resistant bacteria.

Abstract. Lestari DA, Ningrum LW, Nada FMH, Pradipta NN, Harsono DR. 2023. Flowering and fruiting phenology of Anaxagorea luzonensis A. Gray (Annonaceae). Biodiversitas 24: 784-792. Anaxagorea luzonensis is one of the critical plant collections from the Annonaceae family, with only one specimen in Purwodadi Botanic Garden (PBG). In protecting these plants, it is necessary to know the process of flowering and fruiting through the phenological process. This research is expected to observe plant propagation, physiology, environmental response, and increased reproductive success. The aim of this research is to know the details of flowering and fruiting phenology stages, determine reproductive success, and explain the floral biology of A. luzonensis. Research on the flowering and fruiting phenology of A. luzonensis was carried out from December 2021 – November 2022 in one season at PBG. The method is observative, including changes in color, shape, and size of flowers and fruit in each phenological stage. In addition, the method includes the count of reproductive success and observation of the A. luzonensis flower. This study's results stated that the flowering and fruiting phenology of A. luzonensis experienced a shorter flowering time than fruiting time and a low percentage (<30%) of reproductive success. Flowering stages are divided into five stages, i.e. initiation, flower bud, before bloom, bloom, and anthesis; fruiting stages are divided into three stages, i.e. immature-sized, mature-sized, and ripe fruit, which occurred in period 73-121 ± 85 days. Environmental and genetic factors cause the low value of reproductive success. This research can be useful for the conservation strategy of A. luzonensis, especially for reproduction biology and seed conservation.
The role of SEM and infrared spectroscopy techniques in identification of the mineralogy of kidney stones: case study from Fallujah City, Western Iraq

The current study is concerned with the mineralogical aspects of kidney stones from urolithiasis patients of different ages and genders in Fallujah city hospital. The following techniques were implemented as follows; X - ray diffraction (XRD) used to recognize the mineral components of the studied kidney stones, Infrared Spectroscopy (IR) to discover the type of chemical compounds of the studied kidney stones, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) with Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis (EDX) to determine the mineralogy and the various chemical components in the kidney stones. The results show that the kidney stones are composed of five mineral groups and these are; mixed stone group, calcium oxalate, phosphate stone, uric acid, and cholesten. The cholesten has been diagnosed for the first time in Iraq, which might be linked to the diet type that includes high levels of cholesterol. Furthermore, the most common mineral group in the study area is the mixed stone which occurs in males more than females for the ages of 40 to 50 years old

Dielectric behaviour and dechiralization lines dynamics of a pure Smectic-C* in confined geometry: onset of mesoscopic ferrielectricity

ABSTRACT Dielectric behaviour of a new ferroelectric liquid crystal (CLF08) having large spontaneous polarisation (120 nC/cm2 at 110 Hz), short pitch and high purity, is studied in the frequency range 5 Hz to 1 MHz, in the smectic C* and smectic A phases using a 7-micron-thick cell in planar alignment. Dielectric permittivity, polarisation and optical measurements are investigated that shows complex ferroelectric behaviour. These experiments evidence the Goldstone and Soft mode relaxations far from the SmC*to SmA transition. The density of dechiralization lines is observed under polarised light microscope. Its behaviour under electric field exhibits a remarkable accordance with the dielectric response. These results are discussed in connection with a possible onset of ferrielectricity in the dechiralization lines system. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
