Structural analysis of non-stoichiometric lithium cuprates, Li2+2xCu1-2xO2-x. Effects of lithium content and thermal treatments
Authors: Palacios Luis , González Gonzalo , Ovalle-Encinia Oscar , Lima Enrique , Ramírez-Meneses Esther , Pfeiffer Heriberto
Published: July 2023

Lithium cuprate (Li2CuO2) is being used for a wide range of applications due to its high lithium diffusion through the layer structure. Moreover, Li2+2xCu1-xO2-x non-stoichiometric material shows enhanced physicochemical properties. Therefore, lithium location understanding is highly important for lithium cuprate applications. This paper reports the structural coherence analysis, local and long atomic arrangement of Li2+2xCu1-xO2-x using X-ray diffraction (XRD), pair distribution function (PDF) and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques. Li2CuO2, containing different excess quantities of lithium (from 0 to 60 at%), were synthesized by solid-state reaction. The synthesized ceramics presented nonstoichiometric structures, with Li2CuO2 type-structure. Two structural models were proposed to explain the high enhancement physicochemical properties of these ceramics; (i) the extra lithium atoms substitute copper sites, and (ii) lithium species occupy interstitial sites in the crystalline structure. Additionally, further thermal treatments rearrange the non-stoichiometric crystalline structures into the stable Li2CuO2 phase.
Performance analysis on the low-power energy harvesting wireless sensor networks with a novel relay selection scheme
Authors: NGUYEN Hoang-Sy , Van Hoang-Phuong
Published: July 2023

Simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) has been utilized widely in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) to design systems that can sustain themselves by harvesting energy from the surrounding areas. In this study, we investigated the performance of the so-called low-power energy harvesting (LPEH) WSN. Being different from other studies, we equipped each relay with a battery whose characteristics were described by an on/off (1/0) decision scheme as per the Markov property. In this context, an optimal loop interference relay selection (OPLIRS) was proposed and investigated. Moreover, the crucial role of the log-normal distribution method in characterizing the LPEH WSN’s constraints was proven and emphasized. The system performance was evaluated in terms of the overall ergodic outage probability (OP) both analytically and numerically with Monte Carlo simulation. Readers can refer to this paper for guidelines on defining the networks’ constraints, analytically derivating the problems, or use the presented results for possible comparison studies.
Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Fuzzy Logic Sensitivity Analysis in Matlab Works for Evaluating the EOQ Production Inventory Model with Variable Demand with the Lagrangian and Kuhn-Tucker Methods
Authors: Swathi S. , Kalaiarasi K. , Sindhuja N.
Published: July 2023

Abstract: To mirror the real world, the various inventory cost characteristics are also shown as interval numbers. The assumption is that the relationship between the product's demand and selling price is linearly descending. The supply chain has been optimized in this article using these two techniques with random demand. These two approaches have been compared, and a potential machine-learning strategy combining these two approaches has also been offered. The demand is thought to be random. Crisp and fuzzy models were utilized in this study to fix perishable products in the manufacturing process. The proposed model is solved using both the nonlinear mathematical Programming Lagrangian and Kuhn-tucker Methods. The Grade Mean Integration Representation technique is used to defuzzify data in the Fuzzy Inventory Model, which uses a Trapezoidal Fuzzy Number to determine the lowest prices. To support the solution process, a numerical example that includes sensitivity analysis is done at the end. Lagrangian, Kuhn-Tucker, and fuzzy logic analysis are used to analyze the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) for changeable demand in this study. This research compares and contrasts their approaches, and the findings demonstrate the superiority of fuzzy logic over traditional approaches. To explore the price-dependent coefficients with variable demand and unit purchase cost over variable demand, trapezoidal fuzzy numbers are used in this research. The outcomes closely resemble the clean output. To validate the model, sensitivity analysis in Matlab was additionally carried out

POLEMIK AMALAN KHITĀN WANITA DI MALAYSIA MENURUT PERSPEKTIF ISLAM: SUATU KAJIAN AWAL
Authors: Mohd Ithnin Norazam Khair , Suliaman Ishak , Ibrahim Abdul Halim
Published: July 2023

The practice of female circumcision in Malaysia has been heavily criticized as being similar to Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) in Africa. This criticism followed a 2018 United Nations Human Rights (UNHR) Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) recommendation, which called on Malaysia to stop the practice. Among the claims made were that female circumcision is just a tradition and not a religious requirement, and that the hadith used to justify the practice is not authoritative. This study aims to identify the polemics surrounding the practice of female circumcision in Malaysia. It is an initial qualitative study that uses content analysis to analyze data. The study found that there are five main reasons that have caused the polemics regarding female circumcision in Malaysia such as a disagreement regarding the practice of female circumcision in Malaysia, with some viewing it as a local custom. Furthermore, contemporary scholars are debating its legitimacy based on the authentication of relevant hadith sources. Meanwhile, the different methods employed raise concerns about the understanding and implementation of female circumcision among medical practitioners in Malaysia, further exacerbated by the absence of authoritative guidelines on female circumcision by regulatory authorities in Malaysia. In conclusion, this study suggests that the polemics surrounding female circumcision in Malaysia must be resolved by continuing research that can produce safe and Shariah-compliant guidelines.

Authors: Reilly Jo Marie , Greenberg Ilana
Published: July 2023

Background and Objectives: Primary care supports the global health care system. With an increased need for primary care physicians, medical schools must provide resources, role models, and opportunities to increase the number of medical students matching into primary care residencies. Some medical schools have developed primary care pipeline programs for students. The outcomes of one such program—the Primary Care Program (PCP)—at the Keck School of Medicine (KSOM) of the University of Southern California (USC), an urban and private academic medical training center, are evaluated here.
Methods: We reviewed PCP student outcome data for students who graduated between 2015 and 2022. Data were gathered through surveys, residency match lists, and graduation records.
Results: Among PCP matriculates (n=134), 70% were female and 39% were underrepresented in medicine. Thirteen percent (n=16) of PCP graduates (n=122) completed a master of public health (MPH) degree. Among PCP graduates, 70% matched into primary care residencies compared to 36% of non-PCP graduates (P<.001). The most common residencies that PCP graduates matched into were family medicine (n=45, 37%), internal medicine (n=20, 16%), pediatrics (n=12, 10%), surgery (n=10, 8%), and psychiatry (n=9, 7%). A higher percentage of KSOM students matched into primary care residencies in the 8 graduation years after PCP was instituted (39%) than in the 8 graduation years before PCP was instituted (33%, P=.003).
Conclusions: The PCP data demonstrate the program’s success at increasing the number of KSOM graduates matching into primary care residencies. The program provides a replicable training model.

Published: July 2023

This research applies behavioristic learning theory in learning to write short stories with literary engineering. In this research it is expected that students will be skilled in writing short stories through literary engineering to foster imagination and ideas that will be written by students in short story writing activities. This research is based on the problem that a student has difficulty writing something that he feels and thinks in written form. Most students express their experiences more easily by speaking in terms of them, students rarely pour into written form. Another problem related to student creativity in writing activities is that many students who complain when getting a writing assignment from the lecturer are very annoying. This is because students do not know where to start and what to do in writing activities. Feelings of fear have become a scourge for students now in writing activities. This research method uses quantitative methods with experiments, in which researchers will provide implementation of the behavioristic approach in learning to write short stories with literary engineering. The results of this study indicate that students are more skilled at writing with literary engineering, where literary works in the form of poetry are changed by students in the form of short stories. As for the stages of each short story based on the experience of students both directly and indirectly into the short story. The learning process was very enjoyable and the students felt honed their talents and interests through this activity. An overflowing of feelings, hopes, and ideals is reflected in the writing of the students so that it helps the lecturer to hone the interests and talents of the students.

This study aims to examine religious literacy practices of traditional Islamic boarding school known as Pesantren in addressing the social-religious polarization issue in Indonesia. This study employs phenomenology method with a sociology of religion approach emphasizing the religious literacy outlook. Religious literacy entails a comprehensive approach to understanding the various concept of religiosity in a plural society and adds to it the ability to critically reflect on the fundamental intersections of religion and social, political, and cultural life through multiple lenses (Moore, 2007). Data is collected through library research, field observations, structured interviews involving pesantren’s leaders, teachers and students in Pesantren Al-Muayyad, Windan, Surakarta. Discussion result shows that: 1) through a dynamic power and network mobilization, Kyai plays the role of a strategic religious actor who translates religious pluralism to the public — facilitating pesantren as community development center where authentic and meaningful socio-religious interactions among students takes place; and 2) to build a resilient faith community member, Al-Muayyad Windan designed three integrative stages of religious literacy enhancement i.e., religious literacy at the personal level, religious literacy at the intrareligious level, and religious literacy at the interreligious level.
Síndrome ocular del braquicéfalo

Published: July 2023

El síndrome ocular del braquicéfalo, se da principalmente por los cambios fenotípicos que presentan estasrazas con el acortamiento del hocico. Estas alteraciones óseas dejan una cavidad orbitaria muy pocoprofunda dando un globo ocular que queda sobreexpuesto sin protección adecuada sumado a los plieguesfaciales exuberantes, que generan el síndrome ocular característicos como lo son el, exoftalmos,euriblefaron, lagoftalmo, entropión medial, disminución de la sensibilidad corneal y la queratoconjuntivitisseca. Esté síndrome da como resultado una disminución o pérdida de visión por la queratitis pigmentariaque se genera. Cabe mencionar también que en razas Pug se sospecha de algún factor genético que aumentala predisposición en el origen de la queratitis pigmentaria.

Published: July 2023

Organic Donor Acceptor (DA) complexes have emerged in recent years as
materials of choice for the organic binary electronics. The reactivity
de-scriptors derived from the conceptual DFT reveal
imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines as potential donors. In view of this, four
imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines reacted with tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) in
1:2 molar ratio to afford four new DA complexes. The spectral studies,
namely IR, 1H, 13C, DEPT 135, 2D HMQC NMR, and HRMS were used to
establish the structures. The UV-vis. spectroscopy reveals
intramolecular charge transfer. All the four compounds fluoresce giving
excitation emission fluorescence spectra with a red shift ranging from
64 to 151 nm and quantum yields from 0.004 to 16.35. Unexpectedly, nitro
group in one of the products does not act as quencher; instead, it
enhances the quantum yield to make it highest in this series. The
products exhibit electrical conductivity which increases with
temperature. The SEM and TEM images reveal distinct and homogenous
surface morphology with holes which facilitate flow of electrons as
manifested by electrical conductivity. The powder XRD and SAED results
establish the polycrystalline nature of the products. The theoretical
studies indicate an alternate donor acceptor stacking pattern.
Heterogenous distribution of PD-1+CD39+CD8+ T cell in TME defined its immunotherapeutic biomarker in lung cancer

CD8+ T cells in tumors are heterogenous and exist in multiple
differentiation states. Evidence has proposed CD39 as a marker of
exhausted and tumor-reactive CD8+ T cells. Here, we analyzed a subset of
tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells based on the expression of the
immunosuppressive ATP ectonucleotidase CD39 and PD-1.
Neoplasm-superficial biopsy and intratumoral EBUS-TBNA were used to
assess the peripheral and central tumor microenvironment, respectively.
CD39+CD8+ T cells dominantly accumulated in the peritumoral compartment
of larger tumors and exhibited an exhausted phenotype compatible with
PD-1 expression. Compared with CD39+CD8+ T cells, PD-1+CD39+CD8+ T cells
are better biomarkers for predicting responses to anti-PD-1 therapy.
Collectively, heterogenous distribution may be critical to elicit CD39
expression in lung cancer associated CD8+ T cells. Increased
PD-1+CD39+CD8+ T cell levels within the peripheral TME can act as a
candidate biomarker for lung cancer immunotherapy.

Gender Diversity and Audit Quality: Evidence from the Pairing of Audit Partners
Authors: Perry Yumin Zhang , Srinidhi Bin , Yang Zhifeng
Published: July 2023

Using the Chinese setting where two partners are assigned to lead each engagement, we find that gender-diverse partner pairs improve audit quality compared to same-gender partner pairs. We show that the positive effect of partner gender diversity is concentrated in the engagements led by two partners with similar seniority or collaborating as signatory partners for an engagement before or in clients with complex operations. We evaluate two potential factors that could drive the positive effect of partner gender diversity, namely, the perspective-broadening and the human capital factors, and show that perspective-broadening prevails, whereas the human capital factor does not. Our results are robust to controlling for endogeneity and using alternative measures of audit quality.

Mitigating the Demotivating Effects of Frequent Unfavorable Feedback about Goal Progress
Authors: Anand Vic , Webb Alan , Wong Chris
Published: July 2023

Performance goals are used pervasively by organizations to motivate individual effort, and feedback about goal progress is often available on a highly frequent basis. While feedback can be beneficial, there is evidence that frequent unfavorable feedback can be demotivating. We use expectancy theory to predict that compared to infrequent feedback, frequent unfavorable feedback about goal progress will reduce effort by negatively impacting individuals’ expectancy of goal attainment. We also predict that these negative effects will be mitigated when accompanied by a goal attainability reminder that bolsters the expectancy of goal attainment. Results from two experiments support both predictions and also show that a goal attainability reminder does not reduce the effort when early frequent feedback is favorable. These findings have practical implications as we demonstrate that a simple and readily implementable reminder about the attainability of assigned goals can mitigate the negative motivational effects of frequent unfavorable performance feedback.
