Investment Arbitration Reform: Third-Party Funding in Investment Arbitration
Authors: Ševčíková Tereza
Published: February 2023

This paper analyses the issue of “third-party funding”, something widely criticised in investment arbitrations. It is an issue addressed both through UNCITRAL Working Group III and in the amendment of the ICSID Procedural Rules (the current version adopted on 21 March 2022). The author discusses the issue and why it has been seen as problematic, then focuses on proposals for solutions discussed in debates. Finally, she compares the proposals discussed in UNCITRAL Working Group III with the newly adopted amendment of the ICSID Procedural Rules.
Between Protection and Access to Justice: On the Regulation of Returns in Third-Party Litigation Funding
Authors: Provazník Patrik
Published: February 2023

The present paper deals with the issue of third-party litigation funding from the perspective of current regulatory considerations. These, under the guise of protecting the weaker party from exploitation by the funder, are directed towards setting limits on the funders’ returns for their services. This measure is intended not only to ensure that the supported litigants do not lose a substantial part of the amount awarded, but also to limit other negative externalities associated with this funding mechanism. However, this paper seeks to show that the consequences of such a measure may be diametrically opposed and miss the mark.

Jackfruit seeds are under-utilized waste products in many tropical countries. The study was conducted in the Department of Food and Nutrition, College of Community Science, ANGRAU, Guntur in the year 2022 to study the physico-chemical and functional properties of jackfruit seed flour (JSF).The seeds were lye peeled, dried, and milled into flour. Physical characteristics of the seeds including linear dimensions namely length, breadth and thickness of seeds were recorded as 3.32± 0.44 cm, 1.72±0.40 cm and 1.61±0.26 cm, respectively. Geometric mean diameter was 2.03±0.34 cm. Surface area, Sphericity, aspect ratio were estimated as 12.57 cm2, 0.63, 57.04%, respectively. Chemical characteristics such as total sugar and reducing sugar were estimated as 1.84% and 1.62 %, respectively and soluble solids as 30.40 Brix. Functional properties of jackfruit seed flour including water absorption capacity (184.27 ± 1.82 ml/100 g), oil absorption capacity (87.65 ± 2.63 ml/100 g), bulk density (0.73 ± 0.11 g/ml) and flour dispersibility (32± 0.95 %) were recorded for the JSF. The values for swelling power and solubility were 12.46 ± 0.80% and 1.46 ± 0.15%, respectively. Jackfruit seed flour acquire good functional property and hence can be used for domestic, commercial, and industrial purposes.

Published: February 2023

The study was carried out to standardize the method of preparation of guava RTS  (ready-to-serve) beverage and to evaluate organoleptic attributes such as colour, appearance, flavour, taste, texture and overall acceptability. The study was carried out in College of Community Science, ANGRAU, Lam, Guntur in the year of 2021-2022. In this study guava based RTS beverage was formulated with different proportions of guava pulp and water i.e., (RTSBF1) 20:80, (RTSBF2) 30:70 and (RTSBF3) 40:60 with equal amounts of sugar and citric acid. The products were organoleptically evaluated using 9 points hedonic rating scale by a semi-trained judge. The one-way ANOVA was used for a significant difference test in the mean scores of sensory evaluation. The RTS beverage prepared from (F3) 40:60 guava pulp and water were found to be superior over other proportions in respect of mean scores of organoleptic attributes i.e., colour (7.96), appearance (8.16), taste (7.52), flavour (7.20), consistency (6.88) and overall acceptability (7.60). Acceptability of the product was increased with the quantity of pulp in preparation for the RTS beverage. RTSBF3 has high nutritive content compared to regular beverages and other formulations due to the high quantity of guava pulp.

Authors: V.V.S.S. ANUSHA* and S.R. PADMA
Published: February 2023

Ranga Reddy district of Telangana state tops in area and production of vegetables was selected to study the marketing behaviour in year 2021. The profile variables were finalized after the judge's opinion with the dependent variable was drafted as the interview schedule to collect responses from 150 farmers. The results displayed that half of the respondents were middle-aged, mostly (30.67%) with high school education taking up only agriculture (50.67%) as the occupation. The respondents (68.67%) were having medium experience in vegetable production with 84.67 per cent of them allocated a medium share of their land for vegetable production. A lion's share (90.00%) of respondents had a medium annual income and no one recorded a low annual income. Respondents had only a medium to low marketing behaviour of vegetable growers that can be improved by increasing education, the area under vegetable production, market orientation, market intelligence, information-seeking behaviour, and decision-making ability of respondents that had a significant positive relationship with the marketing behaviour of vegetable growers at a 1% level of significance. The variables market orientation (0.378) and market intelligence (0.331) had positive direct impact, whereas experience in vegetable farming (-0.251) had negative direct effect. Information-seeking behaviour (0.332), decision-making ability (0.290) and area under vegetable production (0.288) were the top three variables causing a higher indirect effect on dependent variable. Now, these findings will help in further development of marketing behaviour.

Pelatihan Pembuatan Instrumen Tes Diagnostik Fisika Untuk Mengetahui Miskonsepsi Pada Peserta Didik
Authors: Permana Handjoko , Bakri Fauzi

Abstract
Many physics subjects become a scourge for most students because of the many formulas and concepts that must be understood. Teachers need help to assess the learning outcomes of their students. The use of objective tests in the form of multiple-choice tests, which are widely used today, has many areas for improvement. The "guessing" factor is one of the weaknesses of the multiple choice test, which can make the teacher wrong in analyzing student profiles (Permana, 2017). Identifying misconceptions (misconceptions) is an essential first step to understanding student learning (Kaltakci, 2016) so that teachers can find student profiles of weaknesses and learning difficulties to make improvements. One way to detect misconceptions is by using a diagnostic test. Diagnostic tests can be carried out at the beginning of learning or as formative tests. The diagnostic test at the beginning of learning uses a trivia quiz in the form of True-False questions with reasons. In contrast, the diagnostic test in the formative form of the test is a four-tier multiple-choice test. This four-level multiple-choice test effectively assesses misunderstandings (Kaltakci, 2015). Based on the description above, teachers need the ability to make diagnostic test instruments to determine whether or not there are misconceptions in students so that teachers can adequately analyze student profiles.  
Abstrak
Mata pelajaran fisika banyak menjadi momok bagi sebagian besar peserta didik karena banyaknya  rumus dan konsep yang harus dipahami. Hal ini yang menjadi kesulitan juga bagi guru dalam melakukan penilaian terhadap hasil belajar peserta didiknya. Penggunaan obyektif tes berupa pilihan ganda yang banyak dipakai saat ini memiliki banyak kelemahan. Faktor “menebak” merupakan salah satu kelemahan tes soal pilihan ganda yang dapat membuat guru salah dalam menganalisis profil peserta didik (Permana, 2017). Identifikasi kesalahpahaman  (miskonsepsi) adalah langkah pertama yang penting untuk mendapatkan pemahaman tentang pembelajaran peserta didik (Kaltakci, 2016) sehingga guru dapat mengetahui profil peserta didik kelemahan dan kseulitan belajarnya untuk kemudian melakukan perbaikan. Salah satu cara untuk mendeteksi adanya miskonsepsi dengan menggunakan tes diagnostik. Tes diagnostik dapat dilakukan di awal pembelajaran maupun dalam bentuk formatif tes. Tes diagnostik di awal pembelajaran menggunakan quiz trivia dengan bentuk soal Benar-Salah dengan alasan, sedangkan tes diagnostik dalam bentuk formatif tes berupa tes pilihan ganda empat tingkat  (four-tier multiple choice test). Tes pilihan ganda empat tingkat ini telah terbukti efektif dalam menilai kesalahpahaman (Kaltakci, 2015). Berdasarkan uraian di atas, guru sangat perlu kemampuan untuk membuat instrumen tes diagnostik untuk mengetahui ada atau tidak miskonsepsi pada peserta didik, sehingga guru dapat dengan tepat menganalisis profil peserta didik.

Prototyping Worlds
Authors: Maguire James
Published: February 2023

This paper takes its point of departure in the years leading up to, and shortly after, the outbreak of World War One; a period that saw the emergence of Europe’s first aeroplanes. It argues that the production of new aerial objects required not just imaginative leaps in technology, but also the making of possible futures into which such technologies could fit. In order to elaborate this argument, the paper engages with the life and work of J.C.H Ellehammer, the Danish inventor-entrepreneur who claimed the honour of being the first man to fly in Europe in 1906. Through an examination of Ellehammer’s heterogeneous activities and practices, I argue that his initial aerial prototypes are ‘not-quite-yet-flying machines.’ As technologies of anticipation they model, or rehearse, a version of the future through which such machines could become more acceptable to a sceptical public and find their place within a broader national discourse on flying. This is based upon a particular reading of the prototype as both an epistemic object and an epistemic culture, and upon a rendering of prototyping as an analytic that approaches the craft and agency of objects in particular ways.
Arbejdslivets læringsmiljøer
Authors: Jørgensen Christian Helms , Warring Niels
Published: February 2023

Begrebet læringsmiljø har vundet indpas mange steder i arbejdslivet over de seneste to årtier. Begrebet er dog underbelyst i dansk forskning sammenlignet eksempelvis med, hvordan arbejdsmiljøet er undersøgt, defineret og reguleret. Formålet med denne artikel er derfor at undersøge, hvordan international forskning forstår læringsmiljøer og deres betydning for læring i arbejdslivet. Den undersøger, hvad der konstituerer et læringsmiljø, og viser dermed hvilke dimensioner, der kan indgå i et læringsmiljø. Den inddrager centrale bidrag fra de seneste årtiers forskning i arbejdslivets læringsmiljøer samt fra den øvrige forskning i læring i arbejdslivet. Desuden undersøger den, hvordan de forskellige bidrag opfatter forholdet mellem læringsmiljøet og det lærende subjekt. Den finder, at de fleste tilgange mangler en forståelse for subjektets aktive rolle i skabelsen af læringsmiljøet. Artiklen afsluttes derfor med et bud på, hvordan et begreb om læringsmiljøer kan forstås som konstitueret af et samspil mellem både subjektive og objektive læringsressourcer.
Mængder og mønstre i kvalitative arbejdslivsundersøgelser

Published: February 2023

Artiklen undersøger metodologiske potentialer og vanskeligheder i anvendelsen af digitale arbejdslivsundersøgelser med åbne spørgsmål og åben distribution. Hvilke muligheder og vanskeligheder opstår, når man får en stor mængde kvalitative data? Og hvordan analyseres og sammenfattes de på en måde, der både giver nye indsigter og er meningsfuld og pålidelig? I artiklen diskuterer vi, hvordan og hvornår det giver analytisk mening at tælle og finde mønstre i svar, der som udgangspunkt er kvalitative og formuleret som fritekst med respondenternes egne ord. Vi kommer frem til nogle kriterier, som vi mener, skal være opfyldt: stringent kodning, og at data er opdelt i tydeligt afgrænsede og ækvivalente steder. Hvis dette er opfyldt, argumenterer vi for, at optællinger kan give indblik i materialets proportioner, og at kodning ud over ”mætningspunktet” kombineret med baggrundsvariable kan give indsigter i menneskers arbejdsliv, som man ikke ellers kunne få. Som case bruges en digital spørgeundersøgelse om arbejdsliv i uddannelsessektoren med 1684 kvalitative svar på syv åbne spørgsmål og fire baggrundsspørgsmål. På den baggrund diskuteres, hvordan og hvornår det giver analytisk mening at tælle i kvalitativ forskning.

Healthy neuronal networks rely on homeostatic plasticity to maintain stable firing rates despite changing synaptic drive. These mechanisms, however, can themselves be destabilizing if activated inappropriately or excessively. For example, prolonged activity deprivation can lead to rebound hyperactivity and seizures. While many forms of homeostasis have been described, whether and how the magnitude of homeostatic plasticity is constrained remains unknown. Here, we uncover negative regulation of cortical network homeostasis by the PARbZIP family of transcription factors. In cortical slice cultures made from knockout mice lacking all three of these factors, the network response to prolonged activity withdrawal measured with calcium imaging is much stronger, while baseline activity is unchanged. Whole-cell recordings reveal an exaggerated increase in the frequency of miniature excitatory synaptic currents reflecting enhanced upregulation of recurrent excitatory synaptic transmission. Genetic analyses reveal that two of the factors, Hlf and Tef, are critical for constraining plasticity and for preventing life-threatening seizures. These data indicate that transcriptional activation is not only required for many forms of homeostatic plasticity but is also involved in restraint of the response to activity deprivation.

Published: February 2023

Spinally projecting serotonergic neurons play a key role in controlling pain sensitivity and can either increase or decrease nociception depending on physiological context. It is currently unknown how serotonergic neurons mediate these opposing effects. Utilizing virus-based strategies and Tph2-Cre transgenic mice, we identified two anatomically separated populations of serotonergic hindbrain neurons located in the lateral paragigantocellularis (LPGi) and the medial hindbrain, which respectively innervate the superficial and deep spinal dorsal horn and have contrasting effects on sensory perception. Our tracing experiments revealed that serotonergic neurons of the LPGi were much more susceptible to transduction with spinally injected AAV2retro vectors than medial hindbrain serotonergic neurons. Taking advantage of this difference, we employed intersectional chemogenetic approaches to demonstrate that activation of the LPGi serotonergic projections decreases thermal sensitivity, whereas activation of medial serotonergic neurons increases sensitivity to mechanical von Frey stimulation. Together these results suggest that there are functionally distinct classes of serotonergic hindbrain neurons that differ in their anatomical location in the hindbrain, their postsynaptic targets in the spinal cord, and their impact on nociceptive sensitivity. The LPGi neurons that give rise to rather global and bilateral projections throughout the rostrocaudal extent of the spinal cord appear to be ideally poised to contribute to widespread systemic pain control.

Published: February 2023

Background:

An increasing number of observational studies have reported the persistence of symptoms following recovery from acute COVID-19 disease in non-cancer patients. The long-term consequences of COVID-19 are not fully understood particularly in the cancer patient population. The purpose of this study is to assess post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC) in cancer patients following acute COVID-19 recovery.

Methods:

We identified cancer patients at MD Anderson Cancer Center who were diagnosed with COVID-19 disease between March 1, 2020, and September 1, 2020, and followed them till May 2021. To assess PASC, we collected patients reported outcomes through questionnaires that were sent to patients daily for 14 days after COVID-19 diagnosis then weekly for 3 months, and then monthly thereafter. We also reviewed patients’ electronic medical records to capture the persistence or emergence of new COVID19-related symptoms reported during any clinic or hospital encounter beyond 30 days of the acute illness and up to 14 months.

Results:

We included 312 cancer patients with a median age of 57 years (18–86). The majority of patients had solid tumors (75%). Of the 312 patients, 188 (60%) reported long COVID-19 symptoms with a median duration of 7 months and up to 14 months after COVID-19 diagnosis. The most common symptoms reported included fatigue (82%), sleep disturbances (78%), myalgias (67%), and gastrointestinal symptoms (61%), followed by headache, altered smell or taste, dyspnea (47%), and cough (46%). A higher number of females reported a persistence of symptoms compared to males (63% vs. 37%; p=0.036). Cancer type, neutropenia, lymphocytopenia, and hospital admission during acute COVID-19 disease were comparable in both groups. Among the 188 patients with PASC, only 16 (8.5%) were re-admitted for COVID-related reasons.

Conclusions:

More than one out of two cancer patients, and more likely females, report PASC that may persist beyond 6 months and even 1 year. The most common symptoms are non-respiratory and consist of fatigue, sleep disturbance, myalgia, and gastrointestinal symptoms. Most of the cancer patients with PASC were managed on outpatient basis with only 8.5% requiring a COVID-19-related re-admission.

Tematem artykułu są komunikacyjne możliwości i znaczeniotwórczy potencjał koloru w dyskursie publicznym. Zakres analizowanego materiału wyznaczają dwa zdarzenia dyskursywne: Różowy Październik jako przykład kampanii społecznej oraz Czarny Protest jako przykład manifestacji społecznej. Celem badań jest określenie semiotycznej samodzielności barwy w komunikacie, funkcji koloru realizowanych w dyskursie publicznym oraz ocena zmian konotacyjnych barw motywowana współczesnymi aktywnościami społecznymi. W analizie została uwzględniona dodatkowo ocena semantyczna leksemu różowy i czarny. Materiał reprezentuje różnorodny charakter aktywności w domenie publicznej, którą tworzą doniesienia medialne w postaci tekstów multimodalnych w medium sieciowym. Zaprezentowane dane stanowią wybraną reprezentację warstwy werbalnej oraz kluczowych wizualnych desygnatów współwystępujących z kolorem w analizowanych zdarzeniach dyskursywnych. Badania pokazują zmiany w zakresie semantycznym leksemów, nazywających kolory oraz uwidaczniają korelację dyskursu medialnego z dyskursem publicznym. Efektem obserwacji i analizy jest wniosek o kontekstowo uwarunkowanej samodzielności znakowej barwy. W efekcie kolor zostaje określony jako wtórnie samodzielny system komunikacyjny w dyskursie publicznym.
Koronajęzyk – analiza terminologii związanej z pandemią koronawirusa w polskich i chorwackich przekazach medialnych
Authors: Koncewicz-Dziduch Edyta
Published: February 2023

Pandemia wirusa SARS-CoV-2 wywołała szereg zmian w różnych aspektach życia społecznego i gospodarczego: codziennym funkcjonowaniu, pracy, edukacji, komunikacji międzyludzkiej i medialnej. Nie pozostała też bez wpływu na język, w którym pojawiły się nieużywane wcześniej na tak dużą skalę terminy i określenia (pandemia, kwarantanna, zagrożenie epidemiczne, antyszczepionkowiec) oraz szereg tzw. neologizmów pandemicznych, głównie złożeń (koronaparty, koronaferie, antymaseczkowiec, kowidianie, kowidiota). Te zjawiska i przemiany w języku mają, podobnie jak pandemia, globalny charakter. Na potrzeby analizy porównawczej wybrano dwa języki słowiańskie: polski i chorwacki, by wskazać mechanizmy działania, podobieństwa i różnice w tzw. koronajęzyku (koronagovor/ koronarazgovor), jako nowym zjawisku w obrębie komunikacji społecznej. Analizie komparatystycznej poddano terminologię specjalistyczną oraz określenia potoczne związane z tematyką pandemii, obecne w polskich i chorwackich przekazach medialnych w II połowie 2021 r. i na początku 2022 r.
Rola profesjolektu pielęgniarskiego w komunikacji zawodowej
Authors: Dzięcioł Alicja
Published: February 2023

Przedmiotem artykułu jest ukazanie różnych funkcji profesjolektu pielęgniarskiego. Materiał będący podstawą badań pozyskałam z ankiet i licznych rozmów, które pozwoliły zbadać świadomość językową pielęgniarek i pielęgniarzy pracujących w wybranych szpitalach w województwie mazowieckim (Warszawie, Mińsku Mazowieckim, Wołominie, Siedlcach, Płocku). Analiza formalna profesjolektu wykazała, że polska leksyka zawodowa pielęgniarek i pielęgniarzy powstaje na drodze dwóch typów derywacji: semantycznej (metafora i metonimia), np. świnia ‘przenośne urządzenie do dezynfekcji pomieszczeń metodą zamgławiania’, motylek ‘rodzaj kaniuli dożylnej’, i morfologicznej (derywacja afiksalna, derywacja wsteczna), np. wanko ‘wankomycyna’, zarurować pacjenta ‘zaintubować pacjenta’.
Na podstawie profesjolektalnego zasobu leksykalnego można wywnioskować, że dla badanej grupy zawodowej najistotniejsze są czynności stricte związane z przebiegiem leczenia chorób pacjentów oraz sama specyfika poszczególnych oddziałów szpitalnych, wyposażonych w charakterystyczny sprzęt medyczny (np. pralka ‘urządzenie do wykonywania dializy’, list przewozowy ‘zlecenie na dodatkowe badania’, bocian ‘nożyczki do szwów’, odkurzacz ‘próżnociąg położniczy’).
Profesjolektyzmy pozwalają na skuteczną i ekonomiczną komunikację. Pielęgniarki i pielęgniarze korzystają z nich po to, aby oszczędzać czas na porozumiewanie się z kolegami w pracy, np. hepa ‘heparyna’, tromba ‘trombafereza’, SN (Single-Needle) ‘dializa w trybie jednoigłowym’. Słownictwo zawodowe rozpatrywanej grupy pełni także funkcję ekspresywną, co jest szczególnie istotne w zawodach medycznych obciążonych kontaktem ze śmiercią, w sytuacjach zagrożenia życia (np. leżak ‘pacjent leżący’, idzie na części ‘zmarły poddany procedurom transplantacyjnym’, spadochroniarz ‘chory przyjęty w trybie pilnym’). Słownictwo środowiskowe używane jest najczęściej podczas rozmów nieformalnych oraz w trakcie czynności zawodowych.

Background

Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) is an important cause of nosocomial infection, especially in intensive care units (ICUs). It has the propensity to tolerate various environments and multiple classes of antibiotics. Our study aimed to characterize the comparative genomes of A. baumannii from hospital environments and clinical isolates.

Methods

Clinical and environmental A. baumannii isolates were collected from a university hospital. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed, antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) were characterized, and repetitive element palindromic-PCR (rep-PCR) typing was performed. Eight representative A. baumannii isolated from environmental and clinical samples from the same wards were selected for whole-genome sequencing (WGS) using the Illumina platform.

Results

A total of 106 A. baumannii isolates were obtained from 312 hospital environmental samples. A high percentage of samples with A. baumannii colonization were detected from AMBU bags (77.9%), followed by bedrails (66.7%) and suction tubes (66.7%). We found that 93.4% of the environmental isolates were multidrug-resistant A. baumannii (MDRAB), and 44.7% were extremely drug-resistant A. baumannii (XDRAB). blaOXA-23 blaNDM, and blaOXA-58 were present in 80.2%, 78.3%, and 0.9% of all isolates, respectively. Sixty-one A. baumannii isolates were collected from patient specimens in the same ward. Among all A. baumannii clinical isolates, MDRAB and XDRAB accounted for 82% and 55.7%, respectively. The most dominant ARGs identified was blaOXA-23 (80.3%), followed by blaNDM (55.7%). The genetic diversity of all isolates using rep-PCR could be divided into 33 genotypes. The genome size of eight A. baumannii ranged from 3.78–4.01 Mb. We found six of eight strains to be blaNDM-5-harboring A. baumannii. Mobile genetic elements (MGEs), such as integron1 (intl1), located upstream of blaNDM-5 were observed. The phylogenomic relationship of the core and pan genomes as well as the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) count matrix revealed the genetic similarity of A. baumannii environmental and clinical strains obtained from the same ward.

Conclusion

This study confirmed that A. baumannii colonized in hospital environments were the main reservoir of nosocomial infection and provides critical information to guide the control of A. baumannii infection.

Efficiency of a Bite Wafer on Pain Relief after Self-ligating Orthodontic Fixed Appliance Placement in Adolescents: A Single-centre Randomised Controlled Trial
Authors: Dieudonné Pascaline , Seidel Laurence , Albert Adelin , Bruwier Annick
Published: February 2023

Introduction: The most common treatment proposed to relieve pain and discomfort stemming from the orthodontic treatment is Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAID). Non pharmacological approaches, such as chewing a Bite Wafer (BW), have emerged to manage orthodontic pain to avoid sideeffects of ibuprofen or paracetamol in adolescents. Aim: To compare efficiency between a BW chewing group and a control group to relieve orthodontic pain after the placement of a self-ligating fixed appliance in adolescents. Materials and Methods: The present single-centre randomised controlled trial in the Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics, University Hospital, Liège, Belgium, between August 2019 and December 2020 included 33 teenagers who needed a self-ligating bimaxillary fixed orthodontic appliance. The patients were randomly allocated either to a test group encouraged to first chew on a BW to relieve the pain and then use paracetamol according to need, or to a control group authorised to consume paracetamol only. The BW group was hypothesised to be non inferior to the control group with a margin of 250 mg (one tablet). Data were collected for eight times over a seven-day period. For both groups, pain during four oral functions (biting with front and back teeth, chewing a piece of apple and tapping teeth together three times) were assessed at each time point through the use of a numerical analog scale. The impact of orthodontic appliance on eating habits and functional limitations was evaluated at the end of the study period. Data was calculated as means and standard deviation for quantitative variables, median and Interquartile Range (IQR) were added for skewed data. Results: The mean age of study participants was 12.3±1.1 years and 12.9±1.8 years for control group and BW group, respectively. At each time point, no statistically significant difference was observed between the two groups for the paracetamol consumption and the pain reported while the four oral functions. Functional limitations were also comparable. Total average consumption of paracetamol over seven days was lower in the test group (1000±954 mg vs 1150±844 mg) but non inferiority of BW compared to paracetamol only could not be statistically demonstrated. The test group used BW on average 5.6±8.9 times and 12.8±12.4 minutes during the seven days. Conclusion: No significant difference in consumption of paracetamol was seen between the BW and paracetamol group.

Published: February 2023

Laimer’s or Laimer-triangle Hackerman’s area is a potentially weak location behind the cricopharyngeal muscle, where the posterior oesophageal wall is thin because of a single layer of circular fibres. Dysphagia, odynophagia, and hoarseness of voice are the predominant symptoms, although they can also be asymptomatic and get worsen to aspiration and pharyngeal pouch rupture. The authors here present a case report of a rare, normal anatomical variation in a 76-year-old male patient, which was diagnosed accidentally as Laimer Hackermann diverticulum when he arrived to seek a treatment for missing teeth. Clinically, it presented as an asymptomatic palatal pouch in the left faucial pillar region. The asymptomatic presentation of Laimer-Hackermann diverticulum has rarely been reported previously in the literature and this report is the first of its kind to add a unique asymptomatic presentation of the Laimer-Hackermann pharyngeal pouch.

Sheep fur (SF), a keratinous biomaterial, was used as a low cost adsorbent for removal of Pb (II) from aqueous solution. The sorbent was characterized, where moisture content, pH, bulk density and loss on ignition were determined. The experimental data were analyzed by Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin Radushkevich model with the Langmuir model showing the best fit. Maximum adsorption capacity of Pb (II) by the SF was 45.46 mg/g. Separation factor RL was 0.037 indicating a favourable adsorption process. The results also indicated that kinetic data were best described by the pseudo second-order model with a correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.997.  Negative standard Gibb’s free energy (ΔG) obtained indicated that the Pb (II) adsorption process was spontaneous and thermodynamically feasible. Fourier Transform Infra-red Spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis confirmed the presence of carboxyl, hydroxyl, amino and sulphur-containing functional groups on the SF.

Battery Management of Photovoltaic-Based Standalone DC Microgrid for Houses in Rural Areas
Authors: Sondhi Ritika , Arora Sudha
Published: February 2023

DC Microgrids are very popular these days because they can provide qualitative and quantitative energy to remote regions. There is stochastic behaviour and uncertainty in DC microgrids (MG) that use renewable resources. As a result, battery units are required in DC microgrids to assure power balance. Effective coordination and control are necessary for standalone DC MG to accomplish efficient energy management and effective utilization of resources and storage units. A 48V standalone DC MG for remote residences is proposed, consisting of a photovoltaic (PV) system, MPPT, DC/DC boost converters, and storage batteries. Only a few of the challenges include the integration of distributed energy resources (DERs) into DC MG, MPPT, battery charge-discharge control, and voltage deviation control at the DC bus. All of these issues have been considered and investigated in this paper. As a result, the existence of a complete control platform is highly desirable. The entire system is created and tested in the Typhoon Hil environment.

Yb3+ doped lead‐free double perovskites (DPs) with near‐infrared (NIR)‐emitting have attracted extensive attention due to their wide application prospects. Unfortunately, they still suffer from weak NIR emission due to undesirable resonance energy transfer between the sensitizers and Yb3+ ions. Herein, a new effective NIR‐emitting DP is developed by co‐doping Sb3+ and Yb3+ into Cs2AgInCl6. Experiments and theoretical calculations reveal that induced by co‐doping Sb3+ ions, the self‐trapped excitation (STE) emission intensity of Cs2AgInCl6 is greatly enhanced by 240 times, and the STE emission shifts from 600 nm to 660 nm, which contributes to a larger spectral overlap between STE emission and the absorption of Yb3+ ions. As a result, the absolute NIR photoluminescence quantum yield reaches an unprecedented 50% in lead‐free DPs via high‐efficiency STE sensitization (>30%). The excellent optical performance of Cs2AgInCl6: Sb, Yb with high ambient, thermal and light stability makes it suitable for application in night‐vision devices. Moreover, an ingenious dual‐modal optical information encryption based on the combination of visible and NIR fluorescence printing patterns utilizing Cs2AgInCl6: Sb and Cs2AgInCl6: Sb, Yb respectively is successfully demonstrated. This study provides inspiration for designing highly efficient NIR‐emitting Ln3+‐doped DPs and illustrates their great potential in versatile optoelectronic applications.

The conductive hydrogels always suffered from high internal friction, large hysteresis, and low capability of accurately predicting physical deformation, which seriously restricted their application in smart wearable devices. To address these problems, solvent molecules are directionally inserted into the polymer molecule chains via bridge effect to effectively reduce the molecular internal friction. Moreover, swelling is also combined to eliminate the temporary entanglements in the hydrogel system. The cooperation between the bridge and swollen effect endows the prepared polyacrylamide (PAM)/laponite/H3BO3/ethylene glycol (Eg) organohydrogel (PLBOH) ultralow hysteresis (1.38%, ε = 100%), ultrafast response (≈10 ms), and high linearity in the whole‐strain‐range (R2 = 0.996) with a great sensitivity (GF = 2.68 at the strain range of 0–750%). Meanwhile, the prepared PL10B30OH exhibits long‐term stability, excellent stretchability, and low dissipated energy. Furthermore, the assembled triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) displays an outstanding energy harvesting performance with an output voltage of 200 V with the size of 20 mm × 20 mm. The assembled strain sensors can monitor the small strain of facial expressions and large strain of human movements, indicating the tremendous applications in self‐powered intelligent and flexible wearable electronics under harsh environmental conditions.

Multi‐component nanoparticles (mNPs) hold great potential for disease prevention and treatment. However, a major barrier is the lack of versatile platforms to accommodate steps of assembly processes of mNPs. Here the microfluidics‐enabled serial assembly (MESA) of mNPs is presented. The microfluidic chip, as a mini‐conveyor of initial materials, sequentially enables the assembly of sorafenib supramolecule, electrostatic adsorption of siRNA, and surface assembly of protective lipids. The produced lipid‐siRNA‐sorafenib nanoparticles (LSS NPs) have ultrahigh encapsulation efficiencies for sorafenib (≈100%) and siRNA (≈95%), which benefit from the accommodation of both fast and slow processes on the chip. Although carrying negative charges, LSS NPs enable cytosolic delivery of agents and high gene silencing efficiency within tumor cells. In vivo, the LSS NPs delivering hypoxia‐induced factor (HIF1α)‐targeted siRNA efficiently regress tumors of Hep3B xenograft and hepatocellular carcinoma patient‐derived primary cells xenograft (PDCX) and finally extend the average survival of PDCX mice to 68 days. Thus, this strategy is promising as a sorafenib/siRNA combination therapy, and MESA can be a universal platform for fabricating complex nanosystems.

Published: February 2023

The formation of elemental trigonal tellurium (t‐Te) on tellurite glass surfaces exposed to femtosecond laser pulses is discussed. Specifically, the underlying elemental crystallization phenomenon is investigated by altering laser parameters in common tellurite glass compositions under various ambient conditions. Elemental crystallization of t‐Te by a single femtosecond laser pulse is unveiled by high‐resolution imaging and analysis. The thermal diffusion model reveals the absence of lattice melting upon a single laser pulse, highlighting the complexity of the phase transformation. The typical cross‐section displays three different crystal configurations over its depth, in which the overall thickness increases with each subsequent pulse. The effect of various controlled atmospheres shows the suppressing nature of the elemental crystallization, whereas the substrate temperature shows no significant impact on the nucleation of t‐Te nanocrystals. This research gives new insight into the elemental crystallization of glass upon femtosecond laser irradiation and shows the potential to fabricate functional transparent electronic micro/nanodevices.
