Authors: Volodina S. V.
Published: March 2024

The paper presents historical, political, legal and economic facts taken from open sources that have formed the specifics of the political mentality and public consciousness in Brazil. They have an impact on the established community of factors affecting trust in this country. Brazil is a BRICS member with high economic growth potential, on the one hand, and cultural and business characteristics, on the other, which makes this state attractive for research. The author comprehensively approaches the issue of trust, considering the trust of the electorate in the first person, the level of implementation of artificial intelligence and trust in Brazilian society, the influence of the media on the perception of other states and trust in them. The relationship of trust — economy — culture is being analyzed. It is noted that the level of education of the population raises the level of trust in society. There is a struggle for scientific and technological progress between the leading economic powers. The use of soft and smart power as a tool of influence or a weapon of mass influence is considered. The prerequisites for the accumulation of trust potential as a necessary element of economic growth are analyzed.
On the Legal Concept of Metaverses
Authors: Kholodnaya E. V.
Published: March 2024

The paper offers a detailed model of the legal concept of metaverses. The scientific impetus for this discourse was the foreign practice of developing metaverses, which have become national priorities for a number of states. According to the author’s position, the metaverse is a direction (area) of digital technology development for the formation of a digital space for various types of social and public activities with imitation of the personal presence of the user. The components of the metaverse interact with each other, are in dynamic balance, creating a digital industry. The industry of the metaverse is at a stage of continuous evolution and development. It consists of five main systems, including a technological system, a system of standards, a system of digital products, a service and warranty system. Based on this conclusion, the author systematizes approaches to the development of legal regulation of relations in the metaverses in order to consolidate the country’s technological leadershipin this promising direction. As the metaverse evolves, it may become a promising space for the circulation of digital data and the implementation of other ambitious projects of the digital economy. However, the emergence of new threats and risks in artificial virtual worlds requires the development and adoption of a concept of legal understanding of metaverses, as well as the advanced study of Russian legislation guaranteeing human rights and freedoms in metaverses.

New azochromophores (ACh) with terminal nitrile group have been synthesized. All compounds are crystalline at room temperature. Their melting points were measured by differential scanning calorimetry. The AСh containing carboxyl group have very high melting points. In this respect, carboxyl-free derivatives were preferred as azochromophoric additives to liquid crystal (LC) matrices. Blend compositions of the synthesized ACh with low molecular and polymer liquid crystals have been prepared and studied. From the point of view of homogeneity, the optimal content of ACh in low-molecular LC-matrices is 10 wt. %, whereas in polymer matrices, the ACh content does not exceed 5 wt. %. The thermal properties of the LC blend compositions, which were capable to the melt into isotropic phase due to LC order disruption caused by photoisomerization, have been studied. The ability of some blend compositions to undergo a UV-photoinduced isotropic phase transition at temperatures below the melting point of nematic matrix has been demonstrated. The times of UV-irradiation required for the implementation of trans-cis isomerisation and the times of visible light irradiation needed for recombination process have been assessed. The irradiation times were estimated by polarized optical microscopy.

Published: March 2024

Background: Cerebral palsy (CP) is one of the leading causes of childhood disability worldwide with the greatest burden found in developing countries. This study is undertaken as there is limited data available regarding CP children in the Andhra Pradesh region. This study was done to evaluate the clinical spectrum, risk factors, and comorbidities associated with CP that will help in better understanding of etiology and for early intervention by District early intervention centers.
Methods: This is a hospital-based prospective observational study conducted over 18 months among children from 6 months to 5 years of age visiting a tertiary care hospital.
Results: Among 65 enrolled children majority of the children (74%) were between 2 to 5yrs with a male-to-female ratio of 4:1. Consanguinity was observed in 33.8% and the majority were from rural areas (71%). The most frequent presenting complaint was delayed milestones (33.4%). 67.6% of subjects were born at term with the most common risk factor being birth asphyxia (27.6%). The most common type was spastic CP (87%) in whom the Developmental quotient (DQ) was severely affected (56.7%) and 32.3% of children belong to GMFCS level III. Comorbidities like feeding difficulties and GERD (47.6%), visual problems (24.8%), and hearing problems (30%) were commonly associated. At the time of enrollment, only 21.5% of children had normal nutritional status which improved to 30.7% after 12 months of follow-up.
Conclusions: Efforts should be made to increase awareness among parents regarding the availability of encouraging utilization of the services to relieve the burden of disorder.
Impact of therapeutic hypothermia (whole body cooling) on severely asphyxiated term neonates: a prospective non-randomized comparative study in an Indian tertiary care setting
Authors: Shah Kruti , Aiyer Sheila , Singh Saumitra
Published: March 2024

Background: Early application of Therapeutic Hypothermia within 6 hours of birth is neuroprotective. We aimed at examining whether therapeutic hypothermia alongside standard optimal intensive care improves immediate survival outcome and reduces neuro-disability.
Methods: This was a prospective non-randomized study involving inborn and out born newborns admitted at NICU, carried out from March 2022 to December 2022. Eligible candidates were enrolled as cases and therapeutic hypothermia was offered while rest were included as a control group and monitored likewise for the overall survival and neurological outcome. These babies were followed up till 1 month and 3 months of age to assess neurological outcome.
Results: In this study, a total of 47 patients were enrolled both from extramural and intramural NICU set ups. Of them, 22 patients were offered Therapeutic Hypothermia and 25 patients were given standard post asphyxia care. 7 out of 9 inborn patients and 3 out of 13 out born neonates who were offered therapeutic hypothermia survived whereas 5 out of 11 inborn and 4 out of 14 out born neonates who were offered standard post asphyxia care survived.
Conclusions: Therapeutic hypothermia cannot be attributed to significant increase or decrease in mortality when compared with standard care group. No inference could be made about hypothermic neuroprotection in the follow up study. Overall survival outcome was better in inborn patients than that of outborn. Inborn neonates subjected to therapeutic hypothermia, showed a trend towards better survival than those given standard post asphyxia care.

Published: March 2024

Background: Status epilepticus (SE) is a medical emergency, and its neurological outcome is a concern to every pediatrician in developing countries. The incidence of convulsive SE in children is approximately 10–27/100,000 per year, with the highest incidence in children less than one year of age. Approximately 30% of patients presenting with status epilepticus are having their first seizure. The objective of the study is to evaluate the clinical and etiological pattern of SE and its outcome in children admitted to PICU.
Methods: This was a prospective study conducted among 50 patients aged 1 month to 12 years presenting with status epilepticus. The study was conducted over a period of one year from April 2022 to April 2023.
Results: A majority of the patients were in the age group of 1-5 years (64%) and higher incidence of male children was observed (74%). Generalized tonic clonic seizure (GTCS) was predominant in 76% of the children and seizure duration was 10-20 minutes in 44% of the children. The most common etiologies were Meningoencephalitis (44%) and febrile seizures (20%). Nearly 70% of the children showed complete recovery with no neurological symptoms and 5 (10%) children died.
Conclusions: Status epilepticus is a life-threatening emergency and timely management is essential to prevent morbidity and mortality. CNS infection is a major etiology and majority of the children showed good response with AED treatment.

Authors: Angadi Shambu S. , Angadi Chaitra , Wari Prakash K.
Published: March 2024

Background: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is a multisystemic illness that impacts most organ system, to investigate prevalence of cardiovascular abnormalities in children with perinatally acquired HIV infection.
Methods: This observational study was conducted in a tertiary care centre in Southern India. HIV-positive children between the ages of 18 months and 15 years were included. Cardiac abnormalities were defined as abnormalities identified on 2D echocardiography and/or electrocardiogram.
Results: The 73 children with HIV infection had their cardiac manifestations assessed. Median age of children was 8 years with 52% of female participants, 22 (30.13%) children had cardiac abnormalities, of which 5 (27.27%) were symptomatic. Overall, 21/22 (95.45%) children had abnormalities on their ECG, 16 (72.72%) had abnormalities on 2D echocardiography. Of these, we found that children with delayed diagnosis of HIV infection and with more advanced clinical and immunological staging in HIV are more prone to develop cardiac complications irrespective of antiretroviral therapy (ART).
Conclusions: HIV-related heart involvement is not uncommon, rather occur subclinical. A decreasing CD4 count and worsening clinical status are associated with increased risk. Hence its crucial to screen the children, diagnose at the earliest and timely manage the complications appropriately for prevention of early mortality.

We report a case of a 14-year-old female child who presented with abdominal mass. PET-CT showed an FDG avid cystic lesion in the inter and lower polar regions of the right kidney, extending into the right renal fat and renal vein, with multiple FDG avid lesions in the axial and appendicular skeleton, suggesting renal mass with bony metastases. Biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of primitive neuroectodermal tumor of the kidney. The patient completed six cycles of chemotherapy with partial response and subsequently the patient defaulted and lost to follow-up. To emphasize the critical significance of renal PNET in the differential diagnosis of renal tumors in children.
The silent storm: a case report of missed antenatal diagnosis leading to fatal respiratory distress and death in a rare case of congenital high airway obstruction syndrome
Authors: Khan Roohi
Published: March 2024

Congenital high airway obstruction syndrome in neonates is a rare, life-threatening condition characterized by upper airway obstruction. Typically diagnosed prenatally through advanced imaging, CHAOS results from anomalies such as laryngeal atresia or web or tracheal stenosis. Neonates with CHAOS face respiratory distress at birth, necessitating prompt intervention. Management often involves ex-utero intrapartum treatment procedure or tracheostomy to establish a secure airway. Timely diagnosis and multidisciplinary collaboration are crucial for optimizing outcomes in affected infants. Despite its rarity, CHAOS demands heightened clinical awareness to ensure swift, tailored interventions and improve the chances of neonatal survival. We report here a case of CHAOS which was not diagnosed on antenatal ultrasonography.

Published: March 2024

Dysmorphic head shape can be a presenting complaint of craniosynostosis which needs to be investigated in detail for any genetic or syndromic associations. Many genetic mutations have been associated with craniosynostosis but ERF gene mutation has been found to be very rare. Here, we have discussed about an 8 years old girl who presented with dysmorphic head shape. She had crouzoid features like exorbitism, malar hypoplasia with copper beaten skull appearance and pansynostosis on CT Head but genetic evaluation revealed ERF gene mutation suggestive of craniosynostosis 4. She had short stature which was the unique association with it. Thus, high index of suspicion should be kept for craniosynostosis 4 when phenotypic features are suggestive of crouzon syndrome as crouzon syndrome can phenotypically mimic craniosynostosis with ERF gene mutation and genetic analysis should be done to look for alternate cause of craniosynostosis; especially to look for ERF gene mutation.
Enteric fever masquerading as parotitis
Authors: Dutta Sanjeev , Khullar Niharika
Published: March 2024

Parotitis is commonly associated with viral infections, while some cases can be bacterial. Parotitis with enteric fever is very rare and has not been reported in pediatric population. An 8-years-old girl presented with parotitis, high grade fever, abdominal pain and vomiting. Salient examination findings were bilateral parotitis, cervical lymphadenopathy on right side, tonsillar hypertrophy with exudates over the right tonsil. Abdominal examination did not reveal any hepatosplenomegaly. Blood culture showed Salmonella paratyphi A., while other test for etiology of parotitis were non-conclusive. Parenteral ceftriaxone was given for a total duration of 14 days. The child responded well clinically and was kept under close follow-up. Presence of parotitis with enteric fever is a very rare finding. Blood culture is a gold standard test for diagnosing enteric fever. It should be incorporated in first line investigations in cases presenting with high grade fever and parotitis.
Forensic odontology: A new dimension in dentistry
Authors: Pendharkar Seema Shantilal
Published: March 2024

In order to ensure justice, forensic odontology is a subfield of forensic science that deals with the right gathering, handling, meticulous investigation, suitable interpretation, and preservation of dental evidence for future use. There have been substantial changes made to the data collecting, interpretation, and other procedures used in the field of forensic odontology. The purpose of this paper is to present an overview of the conceptualizations that are currently employed in forensic odontology as well as emerging developments in traditional approaches. Future prospects for the study of forensic odontology appear bright due to a number of rising trends in the discipline. Since the majority of the instruments rely on the records that dentists keep, it is imperative that dentists stay up to date on the latest developments in forensic odontology. In cases of bite mark analysis, age determination, child abuse, and identification fixing in mass disasters, the forensic odontologist applies his or her dental expertise. As a result, in a number of medicolegal cases in recent years, forensic odontologists have had more duty and obligation.

Published: March 2024

The purpose of this anthropometric study was to assess the facial attractiveness by directly measuring various facial proportions and comparing them to golden ratio in a sample of young adult North Indian females.

120 female sample subjects were assessed for facial attractiveness. Frontal facial photographs of these females were obtained and subjected to score evaluation for grouping into 3 groups viz group I unpleasant face group, group II acceptable face group, group III pleasant face group, by a group of 6 evaluators individually. Anthropometric measurements were taken on the subject’s face in frontal view by marking various landmarks. Various facial proportions were measured and recorded using calibrated calipers and then compared with golden proportion.

In group I, facial indices ratio Al-Al/ Ch-Ch (0.697) shows a comparable ratio to the golden proportion. Group II showed no relationship with golden proportion for any facial ratios. In group III, facial ratio Al-Al/ N-Sn (0.685) shows a comparable ratio to the golden proportion.

There was no statistically significant difference found in the golden proportion among the three groups viz unpleasant face group, acceptable face group and pleasant face group. Ideal golden proportions may partially govern the standards of beauty, but they were not analogous to the beauty or facial esthetics of the attractive females in the present study. This may be the result because beauty perception is subjective & depends on a variety of factors.

Authors: Kumari Radha , Chauhan Shailendra S , Sharma Ankita , Sharma Satendra , Dev Manish
Published: March 2024

Reactive hyperplasia of connective tissue caused by local irritants is known as pyogenic granuloma. It is a tumor-like development of the oral cavity that is thought to be neoplastic in nature. It is typically found around the skin or anterior teeth. Numerous stressors, such as intense injury, low-grade local discomfort, hormone fluctuations, or certain drugs, are commonly the cause of it. Histologically, the surface epithelium may show foci of ulcerations, hyperkeratosis, or even intact. It sits on top of a thick mass of connective tissue with a high concentration of fully grown collagen. The most often impacted area is the gingiva, which is followed by the lips, tongue, and buccal mucosa. In general, pyogenic granuloma does not develop when the base and its contributing variables are removed.

Falsification of registration of organizations and registration of rights to securities in domestic criminal law
Authors: Korpusov Andrey V.
Published: March 2024

The article deals with the genesis of domestic criminal legislation on liability for distortion of accounting register information about legal entities and securities (Art. 1701 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). The relevance of the topic is due to the lack of scientific research in the field of the noted encroachment. The main task is to search for and study criminal-legal norms ensuring the reliability of the mentioned information. Based on formal-legal and historical-legal methods of research it is concluded that the required criminal-legal norms in the pre-revolutionary period were absent, and there was a gap in the part of protection of the reliability of the register of securities owners, which was not filled until 2010. For the first time since the introduction of the registration of organizations in the Soviet period the submission of inaccurate information for this purpose was considered a crime (Art. 90, 226b of the Criminal Code of the RSFSR of 1922, Art. 187 of the Criminal Code of the RSFSR of 1926). At the present stage of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation initially prohibited only the submission of false or distorted information, preventing fictitious registration in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities of business entities (part 1 of Art. 171), and only since the middle of 2010 (with an addition in 2018) and to this day the reliability of information of the accounting system of the securities market and registration data on all legal entities in the country has been put under the protection of the criminal law against falsification and distortion (Art.1701).

Problems of differentiation in the codes of labor laws of the RSFSR and the Labor Code of the Russian Federation
Authors: Ivanov Artyom B.
Published: March 2024

The article addresses the problem of codification of special labor law norms, justifies the importance of their consolidation in the sectoral code. The domestic historical experience of codification through the prism of differentiation is investigated. Trends in the differentiation of legal regulation of labor relations in the modern period are analyzed. The shortcomings of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation in terms of labor regulation of certain categories of employees are shown, options for solving this problem are considered. The need for differentiation in a codified act of labor law is due to the nature of labor in certain areas, as well as the special concern of the state for certain groups of employees. The Code is the main sectoral act, it must contain special norms in order to meet the requirements of completeness and consistency. In the four Russian labor codes, the issue of differentiation was resolved in different ways. With each new codification, the legislator, relying on the experience gained, approached this issue more consistently, while there was also a «field» for criticism. The task of optimal construction of special labor and legal norms is also relevant for the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, in modern conditions the relevance increases due to the increase in atypical employment. It is important, retaining in the codified act a special chapter on the features of labor, to establish uniform approaches to its regulation in relation to the main professional groups and spheres. At the same time, it is inappropriate to reflect in the code the features of labor affecting the specialization of a particular profession, turning the act of codification into a collection of instructions. The legislator should also consider the issue of consolidation in art. 2 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, devoted to the principles of legal regulation of labor relations, the principle of differentiation.

Published: March 2024

In conditions of intense international confrontation, the problem of institutionalizing political leadership becomes key. Today it is very important to decide what kind of leader the state should be in order to ensure not only survival and independence, but also stability and sustainable development. Currently, the aggravation of the struggle between East and West has reached its culmination, and the global political crisis requires the most painless solution. At the same time, the nuclear threat is becoming much more tangible than ever before in history. The crisis nature of international relations is increasingly manifested in the increasing level of confrontation between the main political actors and the political blocs they lead. The role of political leaders in these conditions is rapidly increasing, which can be judged at least by the place in current political discussions occupied by the personalities of Russian President V. V. Putin, the American J. Biden, as well as the leaders of Germany, France, Turkey and other world centers of political power. This article is devoted to the study of the legal basis for the institutionalization of political leadership in modern conditions, identifying the factors that determine the authority and effectiveness of the modern leader of the country.

Published: March 2024

To obtain high-quality images using SPECT (Single Photon Computed Emission Tomography) imaging, quality control (QC) is required. QC is periodically conducted on SPECT based on standard protocol. Ring artifact are one of the factors in determining optimal image quality. Uniformity is a parameter that determines the ring artifact on SPECT image, which can be appeared as full-ring or half-ring. Those artifacts were generated since one or more PMT (photomultiplier tubes) were malfunctioning. A copper sheet with size of 2 × 2 cm2 and 1 mm thick, attached to LEHR (Low Energy High Resolution) collimator in coordinates (x,y) depending on COR (Center of Rotation) of the gamma camera, was used to generate ring artifact during image acquisition using radioisotope 99
Detecting Quantum Topologic Phase Transitions Through The C-Function

Published: March 2024

Topological Quantum Field Theory or TQFT is a quantum field theory that calculates topological invariance in measurement theory and mathematical physics. In recent years, several attempts have been made to find efficient observations to determine the TQFT of quasiparticle properties. In this paper, we propose a different and very effective way to detect the critical points of TQFT by considering the system functions. We suggest the C-Function as a novel probe that is accurate for detecting the location of critical points on topological quantum. The C-function uses a holographic model to show a topological quantum phase transition between a simple topological isolation phase and a gapless Weyl semimetal. The quantum tipping point displays a strong Lifshitz-like anisotropy in the spatial direction, and a quantum phase transition that does not follow the standard Landau paradigm. The C-function precisely shows the global features of quantum criticality and distinguishes very accurately between two separate zero-temperature phases. Considering the C-function relationship with entanglement entropy can detect quantum phase transitions and can be applied outside the holographic framework.

In this paper, we expand into a ring structure that describes the characteristics of subrings of a direct product of rings. This research method is to analogize the evidence by Bauer et al. in the group for generalization. In our main results, every subring of the direct product of rings is determined by ring epimorphism between the ring and factor ring.

Mass bleaching occurred in 2010 in Southeast Asia waters such as Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. One of the Indonesian waters that experienced bleaching was Weh Island area, which then underwent bleaching again in 2016 and had impacts on the coral ecosystem. Substrate changes and coral cover conditions are noteworthy to determine the potential for coral recovery after bleaching. Therefore, the study aims to measure the condition of coral cover and the potential for coral resilience after bleaching in 2016. Benthic data collection used the Point Intercept Transect method while measuring coral resilience potential used the resilience index through coral cover indicators, fleshy seaweed, and rubble. The observation showed that the coral cover in the waters of Ujong Seuke was 34%, fleshy seaweed by 2.83%, and rubble by 21.17%. This research concludes that the condition of coral reef ecosystems after the bleaching phenomenon in 2016 was in moderate condition, and it has a high potential for resilience.

The Pangalengan-Banjaran road section has a winding geometric condition. The large number of bend geometries resulted in many accidents due to visibility, radius, and widening of the pavement at the corner, inappropriate road slopes caused many accidents to occur. The research method used in this research is the evaluative research method and quantitative method. The growth of suburban highway infrastructure in Indonesia has previously improved suddenly lengthways with economic growth. The geometrical strategy of the highway has previously remained planned by the typical requirements and needs of the purposes of the highway amenities constructed. The submission of physical science ideas in planning the geometrical stage as a meaning in smearing theoretic physical science to the identical-geometric design. A centrifugal strength in the physical science idea is a straightforward value in scheming geometric straight configurations of the road. Theoretical thoughtful of engineering term of scheming geometrical design viewpoint, has remained created on the method of centrifugal strength in the circumstance of effort on vehicles drive in the highway caisson disease. The operation has constantly remained built on variable quantity which remained strong-minded by thoughtful to spread on reason of rational usefully. These measures are lumped through dipping the result of bigger centrifugal strength. Furthermore, the submission is also able to decrease chance-disposed to areas due to the impact of size-centrifugal services on the geometrical plan of the highway.

Max-plus algebra is one of the analysis methods of discrete event systems which has many applications on systems theory and graph theory. Max-plus algebra is a set of real numbers R combined with =-∞ equipped with operations max (⊕) and plus (⊗), can be denoted [(R]_ε,⊕,⊗) with [(R]_ε=R⋃{ε}) . The production process of pia saronde is one of the problems that can be analyzed using max-plus algebra. The production process of this product is sequentially carried out by making skin dough, filling, baking, cooling, and packaging the pia. The max-plus algebra theory was used in this research to determine the optimal time in the production scheduling of pia saronde. Meanwhile, the Invarian Max-plus Linear System (IMLS), max-plus algebraic theory, and the Discrete Event System (DES) were used to solve the production-related problems. IMLS analysis produces eigenvalues that represent the optimum production time. The results obtained the max-plus algebra model of x(k+1)=A x(k), where A =A⊕B⊗C and y=K⊗x_0⊕H⊗u for input-output IMLS analysis. From the matrix A, eigenvalue λ= 226 and eigenvector v=[278 278 278 279 299 302 324 356 488] were obtained. Furthermore, the value of λ describes the pia production schedule at a time span of 226 minutes.

Based on the data from the Bandung City Central Statistics Agency in 2020, population growth has been increased by 0.49%. The use of private vehicles, certainly affects the growth of traffic movements, especially at the Surapati Gasibu Intersection, Bandung City. To find out the traffic flow that passes through Surapati Street, a study was carried out using a movement generation model. The generation model uses the multiple regression analysis methods with the generated variable being the number of vehicles (Y) and the variables that influence it are the population (X1), the number of domestic tourists (X2), and the value of gross regional domestic income (X3) in Bandung. The data was obtained through the publication of the Bandung City BPS from 2012 to 2021 (10 years). Using the data analyst feature in Microsoft Excel, the regression equation is found to be Y = -7,003,565.898 + 3.213 X1 + 0.142 X2 and the growth value of traffic movement is at 2.39% per year. It means in 30 years the average traffic will grow by 20% and need a renewal intersection.

Organic-inorganic perovskite is attracting much attention because it can be used for optoelectronic applications, such as solar cells and energy storage materials. In this study, we calculated the absorbance optical properties of perovskite ABX3 (A = Cs, Li; B = Pb; X = I, Br, Cl) in the cubic phase using DFT, one of the most common methods for analyzing the optical properties of materials. These studies were undertaken to determine the optical absorbance properties of the ABX3 perovskite as a potential for optoelectronic applications. The calculation was initiated by finding the optimization of pseudopotential and k_point, and pseudopotential GGA-PBE and k_point 8 x 8 x 8 are used as parameters to calculate absorbance optical properties. The absorbance calculation results are at a wavelength of 305.59 nm with a bandgap of 1.7608 eV for CsPbBr3, 380.78 nm with a bandgap of 2.27 eV for CsPbCl3, 301.86 nm with a bandgap of 1.35 eV for CsPbI3, 225.04 nm with a bandgap of 1.72 eV for LiPbBr3, 201.25 nm with a bandgap of 1.55 eV for LiPbCl3, and 211.58 nm with a bandgap of 1.24 eV for LiPbI3. These results indicate that ABX3 (A = Cs, Li; B = Pb; X = I, Br, Cl) has a good absorbance ability. These properties make ABX3 a potential material for optoelectronic applications.
