The Chaperonin TRiC/CCT Inhibitor HSF1A Protects Cells from Intoxication with Pertussis Toxin
Authors: Jia Jinfang , Zoeschg Manuel , Barth Holger , Pulliainen Arto T. , Ernst Katharina
Published: January 2024

Pertussis toxin (PT) is a bacterial AB5-toxin produced by Bordetella pertussis and a major molecular determinant of pertussis, also known as whooping cough, a highly contagious respiratory disease. In this study, we investigate the protective effects of the chaperonin TRiC/CCT inhibitor, HSF1A, against PT-induced cell intoxication. TRiC/CCT is a chaperonin complex that facilitates the correct folding of proteins, preventing misfolding and aggregation, and maintaining cellular protein homeostasis. Previous research has demonstrated the significance of TRiC/CCT in the functionality of the Clostridioides difficile TcdB AB-toxin. Our findings reveal that HSF1A effectively reduces the levels of ADP-ribosylated Gαi, the specific substrate of PT, in PT-treated cells, without interfering with enzyme activity in vitro or the cellular binding of PT. Additionally, our study uncovers a novel interaction between PTS1 and the chaperonin complex subunit CCT5, which correlates with reduced PTS1 signaling in cells upon HSF1A treatment. Importantly, HSF1A mitigates the adverse effects of PT on cAMP signaling in cellular systems. These results provide valuable insights into the mechanisms of PT uptake and suggest a promising starting point for the development of innovative therapeutic strategies to counteract pertussis toxin-mediated pathogenicity.

Background: Vaccination against pneumococcus reduces the risk of infective events, hospitalisation, and death in individual with inflammatory arthritis, particularly in those on immunomodulating therapy who are at risk of worse outcomes from pneumococcal disease. The objective of this study was to investigate the serological protection following vaccination against pneumococcal serovars over time. Methods: This was a single centre, retrospective cohort study of individuals with rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, or axial spondylarthritis who had previously received the PPSV23 polysaccharide pneumococcal vaccine (Pneumovax). Data were retrieved between January 2021 to August 2023. Dates of previous pneumococcal vaccination were identified using linked primary care records. Serum serotype levels were collected. The primary outcome was serological response defined as a titre ≥0.35 mcg/mL in at least five from a total of 12 evaluated pneumococcal serovars, examined using a Luminex platform. Multivariate logistic regression models adjusting for age, gender, ethnicity, co-morbidities, and the use of prednisolone, conventional synthetic and biological DMARDs were used to determine the odds of a sustained serological response according to time categorised into ≤5 years, 5–10 years, and ≥10 years since vaccination. Results: Serological response was measured in 296 individuals with inflammatory arthritis, with rheumatoid arthritis the most common diagnosis (74% of patients). The median time between pneumococcal vaccine administration and serological assessment was 6 years (interquartile range 2.4 to 9.9). A positive serological response to at least 5 serovars was present in 195/296 (66%) of patients. Time since vaccination did not significantly associate with serological protection compared with those vaccinated <5 years, the adjusted ORs of vaccine response was 1.15 (95% CI 0.64 to 2.07) in those 5–10 years and 1.26 (95% CI: 0.64 to 2.48) in those vaccinated over 10 years ago. No individual variable from the multivariate model reached statistical significance as an independent predictor of vaccine response, although steroid use at the time of vaccine had a consistent detrimental impact on serological immunity. Conclusions: We demonstrated that antibody titres following vaccination against pneumococcal serovars do not appear to wane over time. It appears more critical to focus on maximising the initial vaccine response, which is known to be diminished in this patient population.
Relationship between Respiratory Rate, Oxygen Saturation, and Blood Test Results in Dogs with Chronic or Acute Respiratory Disease: A Retrospective Study
Authors: Nakazawa Yuta , Ohshima Takafumi , Kitagawa Mami , Nuruki Takaomi , Fujiwara-Igarashi Aki
Published: January 2024

This study aimed to investigate the association of respiratory rate (RR), oxygen saturation (SpO2), and blood findings with respiratory disease in dogs and to compare the examination findings in the chronic and acute phases. Dogs that visited a veterinary referral hospital with respiratory symptoms were classified into the chronic disease group (GC), and those that visited the emergency veterinary hospital were classified into the acute disease group (GA). In total, 704 and 682 dogs were included in GC and GA, respectively. The RR and SpO2 were significantly higher and lower, respectively, in patients with lung disease compared to other disease sites in both groups. White blood cell counts were significantly increased in patients with lung and pleural diseases in both groups. Respiratory alkalosis and respiratory acidosis were most common in GC and GA, respectively. The C-reactive protein levels were elevated in both groups, primarily in patients with lung disease. Associations between the results of several tests for understanding and diagnosing respiratory conditions and diseases were recognized, and differences in the trends of the chronic and acute phases were clarified. These tools may be used as adjuncts to other tests for the diagnosis and monitoring of treatment responses.
GPs’ views on emergency care treatment plans: an online survey
Authors: Underwood Martin , Noufaily Angela , Blanchard Hazel , Dale Jeremy , Harlock Jenny , Gill Paramjit , Griffiths Frances , Spencer Rachel , Slowther Anne-Marie
Published: January 2024

Background

A holistic approach to emergency care treatment planning is needed to ensure that patients’ preferences are considered should their clinical condition deteriorate. To address this, emergency care and treatment plans (ECTPs) have been introduced. Little is known about their use in general practice.

Aim

To find out GPs’ experiences of, and views on, using ECTPs.

Design & setting

Online survey of GPs practising in England.

Method

A total of 841 GPs were surveyed using the monthly online survey provided by medeConnect, a market research company.

Results

Forty-one per cent of responders' practices used Recommended Summary Plan for Emergency Care and Treatment (ReSPECT) plans for ECTP, 8% used other ECTPs, and 51% used Do Not Attempt Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (DNACPR) forms. GPs were the predominant professional group completing ECTPs in the community. There was broad support for a wider range of community-based health and social care professionals being able to complete ECTPs. There was no system for reviewing ECTPs in 20% of responders’ practices. When compared with using a DNACPR form, GPs using a ReSPECT form for ECTP were more comfortable having conversations about emergency care treatment with patients (odds ratio [OR] = 1.72, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.1 to 2.69) and family members (OR =1.85, 95% CI = 1.19 to 2.87).

Conclusion

The potential benefits and challenges of widening the pool of health and social care professionals initiating and/or completing the ECTP process needs consideration. ReSPECT plans appear to make GPs more comfortable with ECTP discussions, supporting their implementation. Practice-based systems for reviewing ECTP decisions should be strengthened.
Video consultation in general practice during COVID-19: a register-based study in Denmark
Authors: Kirk Ulrik Bak , Høstrup Vestergaard Claus , Hammer Bech Bodil , Bondo Christensen Morten , Kallestrup Per , Huibers Linda
Published: January 2024

Background

During the COVID-19 pandemic, general practices in Denmark rapidly introduced video consultations (VCs) to prevent viral transmission.

Aim

To study the use of VCs in daytime general practice by describing the rate of VCs, and the patient characteristics associated with having VCs.

Design & setting

Register-based study of consultations in daytime general practice in Denmark.

Method

We included all consultations in daytime general practice from 1 January 2019–30 November 2021. We calculated the rate of video use and categorised the general practices into no, low, and high use. Logistic regression was used to calculate adjusted odds ratios (aOR) for having a VC for different patient characteristics when contacting a video-using practice, stratified for low- and high-using practices.

Results

A total of 30 148 478 eligible consultations were conducted during the pandemic period. VCs were used mostly during the early stage pandemic period, declining to about 2% of all clinic consultations in the late-stage period. Patients having more VCs were young, had a long education, were employed, and lived in big cities. In low-using practices, native Danes and 'western' immigrants had higher odds of receiving a VC than 'non-western' immigrants, and patients with ≥2 comorbidities had lower odds than those without comorbidities.

Conclusion

Patients of a younger age, with long education, or employment had higher odds of receiving a VC, while patients of an older age and patients who had retired had lower odds. This difference in the access to VCs warrants further attention.
Impact of vertical integration on patients’ use of hospital services in England: an analysis of activity data
Authors: Saunders Catherine , Davies Charlotte , Sidhu Manbinder , Sussex Jon
Published: January 2024

Background

Debate surrounding the organisation and sustainability of primary care in England highlights the desirability of a more integrated approach to patient care across all settings. One such approach is ‘vertical integration’, where a provider of specialist care, such as a hospital, also runs general practices.

Aim

To quantify the impact of vertical integration on hospital use in England.

Design & setting

Analysis of activity data for NHS hospitals in England between April 2013 and February 2020.

Method

Analysis of NHS England data on hospital activity, which looked at the following seven outcome measures: accident and emergency (A&E) department attendances; outpatient attendances; total inpatient admissions; inpatient admissions for ambulatory care sensitive conditions; emergency admissions; emergency readmissions; and length of stay. Rates of hospital use by patients of vertically integrated practices and controls were compared, before and after the former were vertically integrated.

Results

In the 2 years after a GP practice changes, for the population registered at that practice, compared with controls, vertical integration is associated with modest reductions in rates of A&E attendances (2% reduction [incidence rate ratio {IRR} 0.98, 95% confidence interval {CI} = 0.96 to 0.99,
P
<0.0001]), outpatient attendances (1% reduction [IRR 0.99, 95% CI = 0.99 to 1.00,
P
= 0.0061]), emergency inpatient admissions (3% reduction [IRR 0.97, 95% CI = 0.95 to 0.99,
P
= 0.0062]), and emergency readmissions within 30 days (5% reduction [IRR 0.95, 95% CI = 0.91 to 1.00,
P
= 0.039]), with no impact on length of stay, overall inpatient admissions, or inpatient admissions for ambulatory care sensitive conditions.

Conclusion

Vertical integration is associated with modest reductions in use of some hospital services and no change in others.

Published: January 2024

Mind mapping is a powerful tool for teaching English as a foreign language, particularly in the context of learning and mastering English as a second language (L2). Visualizing the content contributes to a more effective memorization and error-free reproduction, even after some time. In the Ukrainian pedagogy, the didactic potential of “cognitive graphics” and specific means of its implementation calls for deeper studies and systemic representation as the concept itself is a multi-disciplinary phenomenon on the intersection of neuro-/psycholinguistics, psychology, theory of language communication, cognitivism, and web-design. That is why the aim of this work is to ascertain the essence of mind mapping as powerful means of teaching and learning English, to show its relations with ICT in designing an effective set of academic tasks and stimulating the student’s digital competence. The innovative character benefits the perception, and thus, the interiorization of the course content, increases the academic performance of students and their confidence in their abilities providing internal motivation for further work. As a result, the student’s selfassessment receives additional clarity, communication in L2 gets extra motivation, critical analysis skills and soft skills develop better creating a sturdy foundation set of skills for a highly professional graduate from a Ukrainian university.

Published: January 2024

Este estudo teve por objetivo analisar o conhecimento, a prática e a opinião dos profissionais da área de alimentos na elaboração e identificação de açúcares totais e adicionados na rotulagem nutricional de alimentos, conforme as legislações que entraram em vigor no Brasil a partir de 2020. Através da metodologia utilizada, questionário online contendo 36 questões, foi possível identificar que alguns participantes não demonstraram conhecimento suficiente sobre a legislação vigente. A maioria dos profissionais que atuam na área de rotulagem demonstrou conhecimento adequado sobre açúcares totais e açúcares adicionados, assim como em relação ao limite para utilização da rotulagem nutricional frontal. Alguns confundiram os ingredientes considerados açúcares adicionados, especialmente os polióis. As principais dificuldades encontradas para elaborar a rotulagem nutricional têm relação com a legislação, interpretação e entendimento sobre o que será contabilizado como açúcares adicionados, além das fichas técnicas desatualizadas. Os entrevistados consideram provável que as indústrias encaixem seus produtos nos limites de açúcares adicionados permitidos para não terem a obrigação de utilizar a rotulagem nutricional frontal, e que pode haver a reformulação, sem melhora na qualidade nutricional dos produtos. Como alternativas tecnológicas, entende-se que poderá haver redução, adição, substituição, reformulação e/ou eliminação, optando por edulcorantes, adoçantes não calóricos, açúcares naturais e fibras, ou fazer uso de novas tecnologias como as enzimas. Como conclusão, considera-se importante que as matrizes curriculares de cursos de graduação que ainda não possuem a obrigatoriedade de disciplinas que englobem o conteúdo de rotulagem de alimentos sejam revistas, pois verifica-se uma dificuldade dos profissionais que estão no mercado de trabalho. Além disso, é importante a capacitação profissional constante para que os rótulos elaborados apresentem as informações corretas e atualizadas.
Green synthesis of silica gel adsorbents: microwave boosts silanol groups for improved moisture uptake
Authors: Salsabila Rizkika , Khair Miftahul , Ardi  , Saputra Edi
Published: January 2024

This research investigates the influence of microwave irradiation on the silanol content and moisture adsorption capacity of silica gel prepared from clear glass waste. Employing a green and efficient microwave-assisted synthesis method, we demonstrate rapid formation of silica gel with enhanced properties. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) analysis confirms the presence of silanol (Si-OH) groups on the synthesized gel, with a focus on the characteristic peak at 956.44 cm⁻¹ indicating their abundance. Notably, the peak area of this peak significantly increases with increasing irradiation time (5 to 15 minutes). This translates to a parallel increase in moisture adsorption capacity, rising from 56% to 82%. The enhanced silanol content suggests the potential of microwave-derived silica gel as a high-performance desiccant, as these groups directly contribute to moisture binding. Our findings highlight the promising potential of waste glass valorization via microwave synthesis for developing sustainable and effective moisture adsorbents.

Published: January 2024

Betung bamboo is widely used for building construction materials, furniture, and has ecological benefits because it is hard and strong. Bamboo propagation can be done generatively and vegetatively. Generative propagation has weaknesses, namely bamboo seeds are very difficult to obtain, seed viability is low, seeds cannot be stored for long, are susceptible to pests and diseases, and require a very long time to reach the age of the first harvest. Regulatory substances that can be used to encourage the growth of bamboo branch cuttings are shallots and banana weevils. The study was arranged in a completely randomized design (CRD) with 9 treatments namely A0 (control), A1 (25% banana weevil), A2 (50% banana weevil), A3 (75% banana weevil). banana), A4 (100% banana weevil), A5 (25% shallot), A6 (50% shallot), A7 (75% shallot), A8 (100% shallot). The results showed that natural ZPT (banana and shallot weevils) had no significant effect on the growth of betung bamboo branch cuttings. Although no treatment had a significant effect, when viewed from the average value of each parameter, it can be said that the treatment of natural ZPT concentrations on bamboo betung branch cuttings was in treatment A8 (100% shallot concentration) for the parameter of the period of shoot emergence, treatment A6 (50% shallot concentration) for the number of leaves parameter, treatment A0 (control) for the root length parameter and for the parameter living percentage of bamboo betung branch cuttings showed the highest average for all treatments.
ПРОБЛЕМИ ІНДИВІДУАЛІЗАЦІЇ КОГНІТИВНИХ ПРОЦЕСІВ
Authors: Манюк Олесь , Балашов Едуард
Published: January 2024

У статті здійснено теоретичний аналіз головних конструктів та моделей когнітивних процесів. Розглянуто, що у галузі когнітивної психології, мислення виступає як механізм створення нового уявного представлення. Такий процес обумовлює перебудову інформації в ході нелегкої взаємодії між уявними атрибутами судження, абстрагування, раціоналізації та розв'язання проблеми.
Вивчаючи механізми, що керують орієнтацією особи при розв'язанні розумових завдань, психологи зазначили присутність регулярних помилок у мисленні, або шаблонів, відхилень у судженнях індивідів.
Окреслено, що когнітивні процеси та навички життєво важливі для обробки нової інформації та забезпечення того, щоб мозок забезпечував розуміння світу і створював корисні сховища даних. Але ці процеси завжди мають індивідуальний вимір, корегуються та трансформуються відповідно особистісним атрибутам та нахилам, що вкрай важливо враховувати для одержання повної картини розгортання та функціонування когнітивних процесів в цілому. Визначені основні складові архітектоніки мислення в контексті їх системних зв’язків. Продемонстровано, що когнітивна сфера людини є складним феноменом , взаємозв'язок окремих елементів якого ще не є до кінця дослідженим. З цього погляду найбільший інтерес представляє взаємозв'язок когнітивних стилів з типами розумової діяльності, які притаманні індивідам. Робиться наголос на тому, що когнітивні стилі є одним із глобальних утворень когнітивної сфери і проявляються відповідно у пізнанні, поведінці, спілкуванні, навчанні та професійній діяльності. Також відзначені структурні відношення між когнітивними процесами та ефектами когнітивних аберацій.
Визначені проблеми індивідуалізації когнітивних процесів як багатофакторного феномену. Домінуючою тенденцією у аналізі проблеми індивідуалізації когнітивних процесів (на що вказують відзначені у статті роботи вчених) є партикулярна експлікація загальних складових когнітивних процесів, когнітивних стилей та когнітивних упереджень. Однак, сам феномен когніції є фундаментально нелінійним, таким, що самоорганізується, та багатовимірним. Таким чином, необхідним виміром цих процесів має бути складний когерентний зв’язок між загальними елементами когнітивних процесів, когнітивними стилями та когнітивними упередженнями. Вказані перспективи дослідження феномену індивідуалізації в контексті когнітивних процесів. Відзначено також, що фундаментальною невирішеною проблемою є прояснення когерентного взаємовідношення когніцій та упереджень, проте, що домінуючою тенденцією у аналізі проблеми індивідуалізації когнітивних процесів (на що вказують відзначені у статті роботи вчених) є партикулярна експлікація загальних складових когнітивних процесів, когнітивних стилей та когнітивних упереджень.
PROFESSIONAL SUCCESS AND PROFESSIONAL DESTRUCTION: SOCIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS
Authors: Temnova L.V.
Published: January 2024

The purpose of this article is to analyze the social factors in the formation of professional deformations and professional destruction of university teachers’ activity, the most striking manifestation of which occurred against the background of reforms of the Russian higher education system since the early 2000s. The object of the study is the professional activity of university teachers. The subject is the professional deformation of university teachers’ activity and personality under the influence of social changes in the higher education system against the backdrop of reforms. These trends are reflected in the research field of professional destruction, professional deformations of personality and the activities of university teachers. The analysis revealed that the factors of destructive processes in the professional activities of university teachers are: the introduction of an effective contract; mandatory criteria for publication activity and scientometric indicators; mandatory performance indicator of the university and its divisions - “number of foreign students”; structural changes in the academic community: a significant increase in the number of administrative workers at all levels of management against the backdrop of a reduction in the number of teaching staff; changes in the quality characteristics of the management group; the presence of resource shortages, including funds for scientific research; distance and crisis of trust between university communities - students, teachers and managers; the decline in the prestige of higher education against the backdrop of its massification; formation of paradoxical motivation for student learning. It has been determined that both the understanding and the mechanism for achieving professional success of a university teacher are deformed: external success (expected performance) has a very high price: it is achieved by reducing internal success. Due to the impossibility of updating his/her professionalism, the specialist begins to distance himself/herself, to fence himself/herself off from true (personal, subjective, internalized) professional values in order to avoid a value conflict. He/she begins to use adaptive imitative practices, which are destructive professional behavior. The manifestations of the described destructions ultimately include: the prevalence of external (formal) indicators of success over meaningful, internal, personal ones; reduction of requirements for oneself as a professional; reduction of requirements for one’s professional activities; revision of professional values; “compromise strategies”, etc.

THE ROLE OF LIBRARY IN THE FORMATION OF TEACHERS’ INFORMATION NEEDS
Authors: Polishchuk M.A.
Published: January 2024

In this article, an attempt is made to identify the place of the library in the process of forming information and reader interests and needs of various subject teachers in Izhevsk schools. According to a number of researchers, in the modern world there is a "global disintegration" of the traditional system of values, which inevitably leads to the transformation of relations in society. And this process begins not only in the family, but also at school. There is a need to study each factor influencing the position of the library in the system of teachers' value attitudes, which will give an understanding of the general picture of the ways of formation of their value orientations. Therefore, it is necessary to study this aspect of sociology in order to rid society of existing prejudices and stereotypes associated with ideas about the exclusively "passive" role of the library in the process of value formation and identification of needs. The views on the priorities of society were changing. Over time, the school begins to play a dominant role in the life of modern youth. This leads to problems of insufficient training of teachers to answer a wide variety of questions that are not always related to their professional activities. It was important for researchers to find out the reason for the change in the value orientations of modern teachers in order to identify the specifics of their worldview in relation to working with libraries. It was supposed to identify the possibilities and limitations of interaction between schools and city libraries. The basis for this article was a study conducted by the forces of the centralized library system of Izhevsk in 2023 on the basis of Izhevsk schools. Thanks to the results obtained, specialists working with youth and with schools will be able to improve the culture of serving visitors of different socio-demographic groups and plan their professional activities more carefully.
RUSSIA BETWEEN THE WEST AND THE EAST: A STUDY OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS BY SOCIOLOGICAL METHODS
Authors: Ruban L.S.
Published: January 2024

The article analyzes the international relations of the Russian Federation with the countries of the West and the East on the basis of a systematic approach using sociological methods, namely: expert surveys and express surveys in the form of interviews, participant observation, content analysis of scientific literature and publications in the media. A historical approach was also used, which made it possible to perform a comparative analysis of data presented not statically, but dynamically. The author shows the transition from cooperation between countries (Russia and the USA, European and Asian states), strengthening and interdependence between states and groups of countries, overcoming the consequences of the Cold War and strengthening the openness of the world to the growth of a new confrontation, which the collective West has gone to. Under pressure from the United States, the European Union and a number of Asian countries have undertaken a series of package sanctions against the Russian Federation in order to destroy our country's economy, undermine its security, create obstacles to obtaining new technologies and destroy production chains with foreign partners. All this became a manifestation of unfair competition on the part of the United States and was most clearly highlighted in the energy sector (oil and gas), in which America wanted to prevent Russia's hydrocarbon exports to Europe, oust our country from the energy market and seize its positions in the fuel and energy sector. By its actions against the Russian Federation, the collective West violated trade and economic relations at the global level, undermined monetary and financial interactions based on the Bretton Woods system and facilitated the transition of a number of countries to settlements in national currencies. We investigated all these diverse problems using sociological methods, and the expert assessments obtained during the interview helped to trace the dynamics of the changing situation in Russia's relations with Western and East-Asian partners in order to find optimal ways and directions of cooperation.

Published: January 2024

En el año 2020 la presencia de un virus en China reconfiguró de una manera diferente los roles e intereses mediáticos, lo que involucró un reto para los medios la creación de información clara, confiable y con fuentes fiables. El presente trabajo estudia el manejo informativo de la COVID-19 en los medios digitales principales ecuatorianos MetroEcuador, El Telégrafo y El Comercio de Ecuador. Los objetivos planteados son: 1) Describir que géneros periodísticos tuvieron mayor relevancia durante la pandemia COVID-19 y su análisis con respecto a la información proporcionada; 2) Identificar cómo se manejó la información en estos medios digitales; 3) Conocer el manejo de fuentes y valencia emocional de la información emitida. Los resultados evidencian la prevalencia del género periodístico noticioso, seguido del reportaje. Se advierte un interés por las fuentes oficiales. Los temas de mayor relevancia son el de sociedad y el de salud, y aparecen en las portadas de los medios con ciertas características en titulares y cuerpo. Existen diferencias significativas en las valencias analizadas, pues en MetroEcuador predomina la negativa, mientras que en El Comercio y en El Telégrafo son más bien positivas. Estos datos demuestran que los medios no mantuvieron un equitativo manejo de fuentes con aquellos actores importantes en el manejo de la comunicación de riesgos, como son médicos o expertos, polarizando de cierta manera las fuentes.

Published: January 2024

A Mach–Zehnder interferometer with an optical phase control by a twisted nematic (TN) liquid crystal (LC) device was studied. In a typical TN LC device, a change in the optical rotation state of π/2 can be obtained by applying a voltage of about 5 V with a cell thickness of several-micron. The TN cell is inserted into one optical path in the Mach–Zehnder interferometer. We obtained a pattern change when voltage was applied to the LC cell due to the change of the optical interference state. As a result, a change in the number of photons under weak light conditions is observed.

White balance (WB) is a critical back-end processing function in image sensors to keep color constancy under various lighting conditions by adjusting the RGB color channel gain values. In this work, we proposed a novel gate-controlled gain-tuning method for a fully depleted silicon-on-insulator (FDSOI) one-transistor (1 T) pixel to achieve WB inside the sensor. Based on the pixel structure of a p-well under the buried oxide for sensing and an n-type nMOSFET on the top for readout, the 1 T pixel output gain is modulated by the MOSFET gate according to the transistor transfer characteristics. About 5x gain modulation range in RGB spectrum photoresponse (nonlinearity < 3%) is experimentally demonstrated in the devices fabricated by 22 nm FDSOI-based technology. The scheme for in-sensor WB demonstration is provided with a novel 1 T pixel array design, and the evaluation result shows in-sensor WB achieving an almost equivalent performance (Delta-E deviation < 1) compared with using conventional back-end WB.
