A Lithium‐Sulfur Battery with a High Areal Energy Density

The battery community has recently witnessed a considerable progress in the cycle lives of lithium‐sulfur (Li‐S) batteries, mostly by developing the electrode structures that mitigate fatal dissolution of lithium polysulfides. Nonetheless, most of the previous successful demonstrations have been based on limited areal capacities. For realistic battery applications, however, the chronic issues from both the anode (lithium dendrite growth) and the cathode (lithium polysulfide dissolution) need to be readdressed under much higher loading of sulfur active material. To this end, the current study integrates the following three approaches in a systematic manner: 1) the sulfur electrode material with diminished lithium polysulfide dissolution by the covalently bonded sulfur‐carbon microstructure, 2) mussel‐inspired polydopamine coating onto the separator that suppresses lithium dendrite growth by wet‐adhesion between the separator and Li metal, and 3) addition of cesium ions (Cs+) to the electrolyte to repel incoming Li ions and thus prevent Li dendrite growth. This combined strategy resolves the long‐standing problems from both electrodes even under the very large sulfur‐carbon composite loading of 17 mg cm−2 in the sulfur electrode, enabling the highest areal capacity (9 mAh cm−2) to date while preserving stable cycling performance.
Green Hotels: Exploring the Drivers of Customer Approach Behaviors for Green Consumption

This research developed an integrated theoretical framework encompassing green image congruence, care for the environmental consequences, eco-conscious behaviors, sense of moral obligation, and perceived environmental corporate social responsibility (CSR) in order to explain customer approach behaviors for green hotels. Previous researches discussed about environmental behavior and consumer behavior. However, customer environmentally responsible approach decision formation and consumption activities are an insufficiently explored topic. This study implemented quantitative research methodological. The findings of this study showed the correlation of research constructs are significant and such relationships contribute to boosting of customer approach behaviors. Sense of obligation to take green actions as a mediator maximized the effect of other research variables on approach behaviors. In addition, a prominent role of the sense of moral obligation to take green actions in determining approach behaviors was uncovered. Perceived environmental CSR played a vital moderating role within the proposed conceptual framework. The outcomes of this research can help hotel operators and academics better comprehend customer pro-environmental decision-making process and behaviors.

Research note: Does the public support fact-checking social media? It depends who and how you ask

We analyze original survey data on support for social media companies’ fact-checking of politicians in general and President Trump in particular. We find overwhelming majorities of Democrats support factchecking in both instances, while a majority of Republicans support fact-checking of politicians in general but not of President Trump. Moreover, we find those concerned about contracting COVID-19 are more likely to support fact-checks. Rather than viewing fact-checks as a cure-all, we argue the importance of acknowledging their limitations and identifying when and on whom efforts may be effective.

Strategic expansion of existing forest monitoring plots: a case study using a stratified GIS-based modelling approach

Background: Understanding the relationship between sites and the plant species they support is essential for effective vegetation management. Site-species matching requires knowledge of the growth response of a given species to the full range of environmental conditions in potential planting sites. This can be achieved by repeatedly measuring species growth at a comprehensive network of sample plots that cover a range of environmental conditions, including topography, climate, and soil factors. The New Zealand Dryland Forests Initiative has established permanent sample plots (PSPs) of a plantation species, Eucalyptus bosistoana F.Muell. , across New Zealand. However, these PSPs do not cover the entire range of environmental conditions available for the species and hence there is a need to expand the network of sites. The aim of this study was to determine optimal locations for new PSPs to provide more unique information to support site-species matching studies for Eucalyptus bosistoana in New Zealand.Methods: A geographic information system (GIS) and stratified random sampling method were used to generate a model to identify optimal locations for E. bosistoana PSP establishment. The variables used in this study included topography, climate, and soil data. Redundancy between the initial set of potential explanatory variables was reduced by a multi-collinearity analysis. The potential habitat for the species was restricted to land with environmental conditions that could support E. bosistoana. All environmental variables were stratified and an initial priority index for each stratum in each variable was calculated. Then a weighted-overlay analysis was conducted to create the final priority index, which was mapped to identify high-priority areas for targeted PSP expansion.Results: The existing PSP network for E. bosistoana generally covers the environmental conditions in low-elevation New Zealand dry lands, which are located alongside the east coast of the South Island, and the southern part of the North Island. The model identified high priority areas for PSP expansion, including several large regions in the North Island, especially in Rangitikei and Taupo Districts.Conclusions: The model successfully allowed identification of areas for a strategic expansion of permanent sample plots for E. bosistoana. Newly identified areas expand upon the topographic, climatic, and soil conditions represented by the existing PSP network. The new area for PSP expansion has potential to provide valuable information for further site-species matching studies. The methodology in this paper has potential to be used for other plot networks of a different species, or even natural forests.
Merit recruitment, tenure protections and public service motivation: Evidence from a conjoint experiment with 7,300 public servants in Latin America, Africa and Eastern Europe

How can governments manage civil servants to enhance public service motivation (PSM)? Despite the centrality of PSM in public administration research, the effects of management practices on PSM remain understudied. We address this gap through a conjoint experiment with 7,300 public servants in five countries in Africa, Latin America and Eastern Europe. Our experiment assesses two practices: merit-based competitions for recruitment versus discretionary appointments; and permanent tenure versus temporary job contracts. We find that merit competitions are associated with greater PSM by respondents in four countries, yet have no significant effect in a fifth. Permanent contracts are associated with greater PSM (two countries), lower PSM (one country) and have no significant effect (two countries). The effects of personnel management practices thus appear to vary across contexts. A common practice in public administration research – generalizations about the effects of management practices from single-country studies or cross-country averages – requires rethinking.
Origin of isolated olivine grains in carbonaceous chondrites

We report microscopic, cathodoluminescence, chemical, and O isotopic measurements of FeO‐poor isolated olivine grains (IOG) in the carbonaceous chondrites Allende (CV3), Northwest Africa 5958 (C2‐ung), Northwest Africa 11086 (CM2‐an), and Allan Hills 77307 (CO3.0). The general petrographic, chemical, and isotopic similarity with bona fide type I chondrules confirms that the IOG derived from them. The concentric CL zoning, reflecting a decrease in refractory elements toward the margins, and frequent rimming by enstatite are taken as evidence of interaction of the IOG with the gas as stand‐alone objects. This indicates that they were splashed out of chondrules when these were still partially molten. CaO‐rich refractory forsterites, which are restricted to ∆17O <−4‰ likely escaped equilibration at lower temperatures because of their large size and possibly quicker quenching. The IOG thus bear witness to frequent collisions in the chondrule‐forming regions.
Development of a truncated ellipsoidal reflector-based metal halide lamp solar simulator for characterization of photovoltaic cells

ABSTRACT With the increasing prevalence of solar photovoltaics in the renewable energy mix, the need for device-level assessment has greatly increased. This is challenging in rural, off-grid areas with limited access to advanced testing facilities for performance evaluation and enhancement. This paper presents a cost-effective design of a solar simulator based on a 1000 W metal halide lamp coupled with a truncated ellipsoidal reflector optimized through parametric iterations. The complex geometry is reduced to a three-parameter model. An optimal design is attained using this model. The reflector is fabricated and tested using spectrometry and pyranometry. Stabilization time for the device after the start-up was measured at intervals of 10 seconds to be ~ 4 minutes. The average intensity in the focal plane is 2220–3117 W/m2 for a photovoltaic cell having a square size of 2 × 2 cm2. Hence, the ray-tracing model used for this study is conservative in predicting light intensity for an elliptical concentrator. Similarly, spectral analysis shows a strong similarity of 88.7% between natural sunlight and artificial light of the solar simulator thereby advocating the capability of the simulator to demonstrate the effect of temperature on the power output of photovoltaic cells. Overall, the total hardware and fabrication cost amounts to less than $500 for a single lamp.
Seasonal Effects of Backscattering Intensity of ALOS-2 PALSAR-2 (L-Band) on Retrieval Forest Biomass in the Tropics

This research has used the L-band radar from ALOS-2 PALSAR-2 and field work data for evaluation of seasonal effects of backscattering intensity on retrieval forest biomass in the tropics. The effects of seasonality and HH, and HV polarizations of the SAR data on the biomass were analyzed. The dry season HV polarization could explain 61% of the biomass in this study region. The dry season HV backscattering intensity was highly sensitive to the biomass compared to the rainy season backscattering intensity. The SAR data acquired in the rainy season with humid and wet canopies were not very sensitive to the in situ biomass. Strong dependence of the biomass estimates with season of SAR data acquisition confirmed that the choice of right season SAR data is very important for improving the satellite based estimates of the biomass. This research expects that the results obtained in this research will contribute to monitoring of the quantity and quality of forest biomass in Vietnam and other tropical countries.
Perceived Export Performance: A Contingent Measurement Approach

Despite considerable research on export performance, relatively little scholarly attention has been devoted to incorporating managers’ perspectives into operationalizing this concept. This study proposes a new approach for measuring small and medium-sized enterprises’ export performance in the presence of multiple, potentially conflicting, goals while accounting for different approaches to assessing export performance. Adopting a contingency approach, the authors develop two customized measures of perceived export performance: the individualized perceived export performance framework and the simplified model. They demonstrate the application of both measures with a sample of 78 exporting small and medium enterprises in New Zealand and compare the outcomes. The proposed frameworks are intended to measure export performance considering managers’ specific priorities and by incorporating manager- and firm-specific differences in the types and importance of goals, indicators, and benchmarks. This article extends the understanding of export performance by proposing a more nuanced and holistic measurement approach that is tailored to individual firms and reflects firm-specific idiosyncrasies.
Validating the Pro-Environmental Behavior Task in a Japanese Sample

Controlled experimentation is critical for understanding the causal determinants of pro-environmental behavior. However, the potential of experimental pro-environmental behavior research is limited by the difficulty to observe pro-environmental behavior under controlled conditions. The Pro-Environmental Behavior Task (PEBT) was developed to address this limitation by facilitating the experimental analysis of pro-environmental behavior in the laboratory. Previous studies in Belgian samples have already supported the validity of the PEBT as a procedure for the study of actual pro-environmental behavior. Here, we aimed for a cross-cultural replication of this finding in a sample of N = 103 Japanese college students. Along the lines of previous studies, we found PEBT choice behavior to be sensitive to within-subject manipulations of its behavioral costs and environmental benefits. This implies that participants take these consequences into account when choosing between PEBT options. In addition, we showed, for the first time, that such consequence effects can also be detected in a less powerful between-subjects design. These results support the generality of consequence effects on PEBT choice behavior as well as the validity and utility of the PEBT for use in samples from different cultural backgrounds.
Level of knowledge, attitude, and behavior towards rheumatic disease among elderly in Samplangan Village, Gianyar

Remarkable rises in life expectancy of Indonesians over the last decade lead to an increase in elderly population in Indonesia, along with the risk of dementia, disability, and other age-related diseases. In this nation, Rheumatic disease is the second most common health problem among the elderly. Moreover, rheumatism-related visit was ranked 3rd out of 10 major health problems in all health centers in Gianyar, Bali. Therefore, knowledge and attitude of the elderly regarding rheumatic disease are important in preventing and treating the disease. This study was aimed to determine the level of knowledge, attitude, and behavior towards rheumatic disease among elderly in Samplangan Village, Gianyar. A descriptive-quantitative design with cross-sectional approach was conducted on 106 elderly, who were selected using simple random sampling method. Data collection was done by direct interview and through validated questionnaires. The results show that in general, the level of knowledge of the respondents regarding rheumatic disease was poor. Meanwhile, both the attitude and the behaviour of the respondents towards rheumatic disease were good. Therefore, more information and counseling about rheumatic disease by the authorized health officers are required to improve the knowledge and the health status of elderly population in this area
Users’ Cognitive and Affective Response to the Risk to Privacy from a Smart Speaker

ABSTRACT Smart speakers, which provide continuous real-time information and convenient services, increasingly permeate into users’ homes. On the other hand, the environments of the smart speaker also cause privacy issues for the users by always listening to users’ voices in their private homes. The privacy-prone environments of the smart speakers lead to the users’ coping behaviors against privacy threats not only by increasing the users’ privacy concerns but also by creating negative emotions. However, prior studies have predominantly focussed on cognitive frameworks and overlooked the impact of effect on users’ coping behaviors in the context of privacy threats. Drawing on the stimuli-organisms-responses(S-O-R) framework, this study examines the mediating role of three representative negative emotions (anger, anxiety, disappointment) between users’ privacy concerns and behaviors. The results indicate that the relationships between privacy concerns, negative emotions, and various privacy behaviors in the context of the smart speaker, emphasizing the mediating role of negative emotions. Findings of the study can enhance our knowledge of privacy research by adding the influence of effect in the cognitive-dominant framework.
Antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities of australian native plants in the context of wound healing: A review

Wound healing is an essential biological process which involves tissue repair and recovery and includes the action of a complex system of blood cells, cytokines, and growth factors. It is a process attended by integrated cellular and biochemical events and characterized by four phases: haemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodelling. Medicinal plants which have healing applications, continue to play a central role in the healthcare system of a large proportion of the world’s population. Numerous studies have shown that several Australian plant species used medicinally, contain biologically active extracts and compounds which have enormous potential for the treatment and management of a wound. Medicinal plants contain a wide range of chemical compounds as the unique flora of Australia offers an array of diverse bioactives, which elicit antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and wound healing abilities. Such properties are not limited to the edible sections of plants as the roots, bark, sap, leaves and seeds from a vast array of plants have demonstrated similar effects. In this review article, various Australian native plants which are scientifically proven to have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that support wound healing, are discussed. This review also briefly discusses the general wound healing process, wound-colonizing bacteria, factors that affect wound healing, and costs involved in the treatment and management of chronic wounds.
