Teachers’ Perceptions and Experiences of using Digital Technology in Undergraduate Classrooms in Pakistan
Authors: Farooq Mariam , Nauman Sarwat
Published: October 2023

The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions and experiences of teachers about the use of technology in faceto-face and online classes. A qualitative case study design was adopted in this study. The year III and IV teachers of thenursing programme who were using technology in their teaching were invited to participate in this study. Data werecollected through semi-structured interviews, class observations and analysis of the university’s virtual learningenvironment course sites. The teachers felt that students wanted activities that were engaging, and through Mentimeter,Kahoot and Padlet this was possible in the class. With online classes, the teachers were using Microsoft Teams, whereasthe students preferred the Zoom platform as they thought it was more user-friendly. It was also felt by the teachers thatstudents do not give much preference to PowerPoint presentations now and want a variety that can enhance their learningexperience. However, the teachers also faced issues with the computers or internet not working smoothly in the class andfor this, they had to keep a backup plan in place. For online classes, the teachers shared course material on Whatsapp orMoodle course sites for students who could not come online during a specific time. The teachers also admit that their ownability to use technology in face-to-face or online classes counted a lot towards how their lessons shaped up. The findingsconcluded that the universities should provide sufficient support and training to teachers in using technology effectivelyfor teaching purposes.

Authors: Mubarok Muhammad Aunul , Tsabitah Devina , Ningtias Laras Ayu , Meylianingrum Kurniawati , Sapta Pradana Ayub Wijayati
Published: October 2023

In this quantitative descriptive research study, we investigate the adoption of the Indonesian Standard Quick Response Code (QRIS) among economics students in the Malang region. Our particular focus centers on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model. The research involves a sample of 120 economics students drawn from UIN Malang, Univ Brawijaya, and Univ Negeri Malang. Data collection is conducted through a questionnaire that examines four key variables: performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions. The findings underscore the significant influence of performance expectancy on the intention to use QRIS, while the remaining variables exhibit positive yet non-significant relationships. This study provides valuable insights into the pivotal role of performance expectancy in driving QRIS adoption among economics students and highlights its potential implications for fostering a sustainable economy in the Malang region.

Published: October 2023

Povijesno različito valorizirana, ali u konačnici odbačena metoda antropološke identifikacije poznata pod imenom Bertillonage, u suvremenim uvjetima mogla bi se, barem na simboličkoj razini, reafirmirati. Naime, Bertillonova metoda, zbog znanstveno-tehnoloških limita, te istodobno nadiruće daktiloskopije, odbačena je i „arhivirana“ kao povijesna znamenitost, gotovo na razini rariteta. U današnjim uvjetima sofisticiranih sigurnosnih računalnih i drugih alata i znatne „pokrivenosti“ javnih prostora različitim oblicima videonadzora, otvara se mogućnost pribavljanja golemih podataka o snimljenim osobama i registriranim događajima, kako u smislu identifikacije tih osoba, tako i u smislu utvrđivanja tijeka i dinamike (okolnosti) događaja. Iako postoje brojni forenzični računalni alati za automatiziranu antropometrijsku identifikaciju, u ovom radu prikazan je dio naših istraživanja o mogućnosti i pouzdanosti mjerenja antropometrijskih karakteristika maskiranih ili na snimci neprepoznatljivih počinitelja kaznenih djela snimljenih sigurnosnim videokamerama, pritom vodeći računa o varijabilnim parametrima poput visine kamere, kuta snimanja, kuta osi objektiva u odnosu na objekt snimanja, udaljenosti objekta od objektiva i dr. te njihovu utjecaju na konačni rezultat mjerenja. Također, u ovom radu prikazat će se relativno jednostavna i pouzdana metoda osiguravanja tzv. nespornog materijala tako da osigurava respektabilnu razinu preciznosti mjerenja visine nepoznate osobe.
Hoe stilte tot ons spreekt
Authors: Van Kan C.
Published: October 2023

Pieter Verstraete, hoogleraar historische pedagogiek aan de KU Leuven, heeft zich ten doel gesteld een ‘echt historisch-pedagogisch boek’ (p.13) te schrijven waarin hij de geschiedenis van de stilte behandelt en deze van pedagogische betekenissen voorziet. Hij laat aan de lezer de vraag of dat gelukt is. Alvorens daar mijn beschouwingen op los te laten vind ik dat zijn boek bij voorbaat lof verdient omdat het voor iedereen via Leuven University Press vrij toegankelijk is (https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/handle/20.500.12657/58465/1/9789461664792.pdf).

Naar mijn mening gaat onderwijspedagogiek over het bevragen van onderwijspraktijken vanuit een pedagogische perspectief (Van Kan, 2021). Dat wil zeggen het doordenken van onderwijspraktijken vanuit de vragen (1) wat dient het belang van leerlingen?, (2) welke pedagogische waarden en idealen zijn aan die belangen verbonden?, en (3) hoe krijgen die waarden en idealen gestalte in de praktische omgang met leerlingen? Ook stilte kan als een onderwijspraktijk beschouwd worden. Het boek van Verstraete laat zien dat er door de tijd heen telkens andere pedagogische belangen worden verbonden aan stilte in de klas en dat daarbij ook veranderende pedagogische waarden en idealen in het geding zijn. Tevens illustreert hij in zijn boek dat die waarden en idealen telkens op een andere manier worden vertaald in onderwijzend handelen.

Published: October 2023

down syndrome is the most common chromosomal disorder that causes intellectual disability. Articulation disorder is one of the symptoms found in down syndrome. The condition is affected by macroglossia, muscle hypotonia, lack of control over lips and tongue and motor deficiency. The need for early intervention through speech therapy, physiotherapy, and occupational therapy as well as medical attention for various health problems that occur. Method: using Single Subject Research, with one group pretest-posttest design.  The participant was a female aged 8:5 years with articulation disorder on /p/ at the start of a word and had never received speech therapy. Data collection was done through interviews with the client's parents, direct observation of the client, tests, and document studies. Speech therapy was conducted for 10 sessions with an emphasis on bilabial phonetic placement exercises. Perceptual assessment by comparing the ability to produce /p/ at the start of a word before and after therapy. Results: in the post speech therapy assessment, there was an increase of 60%. Conclusion: Interventions given to clients to help articulation skills through the phonetic placement method. After the intervention was carried out for 10 sessions, a post test was carried out on the client and there were changes in the client's articulation ability in this case. Suggestion: further research is needed so that it can be a reference in handling articulation disorders in down syndrome conditions.

Dysaudia is a speech disorder associated with auditory feedback problems, which can occur due to hearing loss. Articulation is an important part of speech, and children with hearing problem need immediate help to improve their slow pronunciation skills due to hearing loss. One method of treating deaf children is to Learning to Listen. By relying on the remaining hearing, this method aims to help children detect sounds and associate sounds with objects. Methods: One-subject experiment, using a one-group pre-post test design. The participant was an 8-year-old boy with hearing loss who received speech therapy. Data were collected through interviews with the client's mother, direct observation of the client, tests, and study document. Speech therapy was conducted in 10 sessions by training the client receptive language at the word level. Comparing the client's language acquisition ability before and after therapy. Results: In the evaluation after speech therapy, there was an increase of 100% Conclusion: The listening training method is considered effective in improving the receptive language skills of children with hearing problem Recommendations: To find out whether the Learning to Listen Method is effective in improving pronunciation skills in deaf children, it is hoped that additional research can be carried out on this method.
The Urheilupuisto House and Other Corded Ware Houses from Finland
Authors: Mökkönen Teemu
Published: October 2023

Although numerous settlement sites of Corded Ware culture have been discovered in Finland, only a few houses have been identified. This is in stark contrast to the abundant number of pithouses of local hunter-gatherers. This paper takes a closer look at the houses associated with Corded Ware culture, first, by introducing a recently excavated Corded Ware house from southern Finland and other houses connected to Corded Ware culture from Finland and the Karelian Isthmus, Russia, and second, by outlining the various types of Corded Ware houses around the Baltic Sea. After that, the emerging picture suggesting interaction between the regional variants of Corded Ware culture as well as between Corded Ware cultures and local hunter-gatherers will be discussed. Even if the remains of Corded Ware houses are few and often quite ambiguous, it will be concluded that several types of houses have existed in the area north of the Gulf of Finland, and the contacts between cultural traditions affected settlement types and house structures in each party involved in the process.
Accuracy of digital rectal examination to diagnose prostate cancer confirmed by needle biopsy reports: A 3–year hospital-based study
Authors: Udoh EA  , Akaiso OE  , Ukpong AE
Published: October 2023

Background: Digital rectal examination (DRE) is an indispensable tool for provisional diagnosis of prostate diseases. When abnormal prostate examination findings are elicited, a diagnosis of prostate cancer (Pca) is usually entertained and further tests to confirm or rule out the presence of Pca demands histological examination of biopsied tissue. A combination of DRE findings and serum PSA increases the predictive value for Pca diagnosis. In this study, we evaluated the degree of accuracy of DRE to diagnose Pca confirmed by histology reports of biopsy specimens.

Materials and Methods: Two hundred and six (206) patients were studied over a period of three years. Information retrieved from their case notes were entered into a well-structured protocol for management of prostatic diseases. Analysis of variables collated was performed with the statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) version 20.0. Frequency table was used to analyze categorical variables while descriptive statistics was used for continuous variables. Level of significance was set at P<.05.

Results: 206 patients were studied with mean age of 68.23±8.71 years ranging from 48 to 91 years. Men in the Pca group were older than those in the BPH group. Abnormal DRE was associated with high grade tumours, and high level of aggressive tumour characteristics by WHO grade group standard.

Conclusion: DRE has a high level of accuracy in predicting a diagnosis of Pca which was confirmed by histology reports especially in prostates with abnormal findings.

Korban Tindak Pidana Penyalahgunaan Narkotika: Analisis Perspektif Viktimologi
Authors: Ariyanti Vivi
Published: October 2023

Parameter korban penyalahgunaan narkotika dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 35 Tahun 2009 dipandang terlalu sempit dan sangat sulit dibuktikan. Karena itulah, selain menggunakan undang-undang, aparat penegak hukum juga menggunakan peraturan-peraturan  lain  untuk  menentukan  parameter  korban  penyalahgunaan narkotika. Dengan cara seperti itu, pecandu dan penyalah guna narkotika bagi dirisendiri dapat dikatakan sebagai korban bagi pelaku tindak pidana peredaran gelap narkotika. Kajian ini membahas bagaimana pecandu dan penyalah guna narkotika bagi diri sendiri dapat dikatakan sebagai korban. Dengan menggunakan analisis viktimologi, kajian ini menemukan bahwa aparat penegak hukum menggunakan paradigma viktimologi positivis (positivist victimology) yang memposisikan penyalah guna narkotika sebagai pelaku tindak pidana yang sekaligus sebagai korban bagi tindakannya sendiri (self-victimizing victim). Paradigma tersebut menyebabkan penyalah guna narkotika bagi diri sendiri tidak mendapatkan hak- haknya sebagai korban, sehingga ada kecenderungan aparat penegak hukum untuk menjatuhkan sanksi pidana, meskipun parameter sebagaimana disebut di atas secara kumulatif telah terpenuhi.

One China Policy dan Dampaknya Bagi Hubungan Indonesia-Taiwan
Authors: Tukan Elisabeth NSB
Published: October 2023

Within international relation, a state’ policy may influence other state policy. “One China Policy” for example. It views that there is “one China” which is People’s Republic of China and Taiwan (Republic of China) is part of it. It is also a recognition of the government of the People’s Republic of China as the “sole legal government of China”, but not acceptance that that government represents or speaks for the people of Taiwan. PRC always promote and assert this policy into its diplomatic relations. Indonesia is one of the states to commit it, and not recognise and establish a diplomatic relations to Taiwan. The aim of this article is to review the impact of “one china policy” in Indonesia’s relations with Taiwan. In spite of not having diplomatic relations among them, Indonesia and Taiwan establish multi-cooperation such as economy and trade, investment, tourism, education, transportation, culture and agricultural technology. Both state also assigns economic and trade office respectively. In general, PRC accept those kind of relationsips, however Indonesia’s commitment to the policy were questionable frequently by PRC, due to Taiwan’s official visit to the state. The impact of implementation of one china policy on Indonesia and Taiwan relation is simply the indonesia’s prudent attitude to keep in PRC’s mind with respect to the policy. Indonesia’s ambigous purpose is to stick to policy while keep in mutual symbiosis with Taiwan.
Au risque des valeurs : accompagner le devenir du sujet éthique en classe
Authors: Durrive Barthélemy
Published: October 2023

Que change concrètement, dans la manière de mener le cours de philosophie sur l’éthique, la volonté de traiter les élèves comme des sujets éthiques en devenir? Si l’on assume la dimension éducative d’un tel cours, c’est-à-dire si l’on s’y donne comme objectif pédagogique de transmettre des valeurs (et non pas seulement de les exposer), quelle place y faire à l’éthique des élèves, c’est-à-dire aux jugements de valeurs qui les traversent individuellement et qu’ils ou elles expriment? Pour travailler cette double question, le présent article propose de partir d’une modélisation de l’activité des élèves empruntée à l’univers de l’analyse des pratiques et, plus précisément, à la démarche ergologique (Schwartz, 2000). Ainsi modélisée comme débat de normes, l’activité des élèves se révèle comme traversée de jugements de valeurs qui ont vocation à prendre une portée éthicopolitique et qui font déjà débat, bien qu’implicitement, dans la pratique de chacune d’elles et de chacun d’eux. L’article cherche à montrer l’intérêt qu’il y a, dans le cadre et dans la visée du cours, à conscientiser les élèves à l’existence et aux implications de ces débats.
Il corpo di Medea
Authors: Bazzocchi Marco Antonio
Published: October 2023

This paper focuses on the symbolic meaning of Medea’s body as shown in Pasolini’s movie. Medea’s body undergoes a process of sacralization and desacralization. On this process is based the movie’s plot, that relies on several juxtapositions: young Giasone vs old Giasone, Medea witch vs Medea lover, Medea mother vs Medea assassin. According to the ideas of Aby Warburg, this process belongs to forms of enhancement and weakening of Medea’s sacredness: she brings fertility in the earlier rituals but she becomes a destructive entity that culminates in her sons killing. In this way she loses her maternal role and she becomes once again a witch. This interpretation is related with the idea of editing that Pasolini develops in the late sixties, when filming Edipo re and Medea.
Il contro-ordine femminile nella voce musicale contemporanea
Authors: Lombardi Vallauri Stefano
Published: October 2023

Drawing from the comparison with some archetypal female figures (Antigone, Medea), the essay studies contemporary music across genres and styles, investigating the ways in which female singing constitutes in itself – as timbral-articulatory conduct, not as a vehicle of referential meanings – an ethical order alternative to the dominant male and sexist one. In particular, the following different cases are examined: the music theater work Medea by the male composer Adriano Guarnieri; the figure of Yoko Ono in the collective imagination; Diamanda Galás’s oeuvre. The reflection then moves on to the queer vocal counter-order, especially in the work of the transgender author-singer Anohni; and on a feminine but non-gay-queer male model, through a comprehensive exam of Anglo-American popular song.
La mimesis aorgica: Hölderlin e Antigone
Authors: Mecacci Andrea
Published: October 2023

What remains of Antigone in Hölderlin’s version? The aim of this paper is not to return to the questions that Hölderlin’s translation opens up; rather, the intent is to focus on the way Antigone is interpreted not as a dramaturgic figure but as a mimetic principle. Not a character within the text, although this function is foreshadowed, but a device in a broader elaboration of an ontology of the tragic: Antigone as aorgic mimesis. Many levels add up in this project: the recomprehension of the ancient in a post-mythic perspective, and this theoretical assumption problematically marks the overcoming of classicism; the configuration of a philosophy of history in which the ancient is no longer a model of the modern, but becomes a way of self-interpretation of the modern itself; and the need to identify a new condition of poetic representation of the modern, that is, to thematize a new tragic mimesis.
Similarities and differences in the microbial structure of surface soils of different vegetation types
Authors: Jiang Yong , Zhu Wenxu , Zhu Keye , Ge Yang , Li Wuzheng , Liao Nanyan
Published: October 2023

Background

Soil microbial community diversity serves as a highly sensitive indicator for assessing the response of terrestrial ecosystems to various changes, and it holds significant ecological relevance in terms of indicating ecological alterations. At the global scale, vegetation type acts as a major driving force behind the diversity of soil microbial communities, encompassing both bacterial and fungal components. Modifications in vegetation type not only induce transformations in the visual appearance of land, but also influence the soil ecosystem’s material cycle and energy flow, resulting in substantial impacts on the composition and performance of soil microbes.

Methods

In order to examine the disparities in the structure and diversity of soil microbial communities across distinct vegetation types, we opted to utilize sample plots representing four specific vegetation types. These included a woodland with the dominant tree species Drypetes perreticulata, a woodland with the dominant tree species Horsfieldia hainanensis, a Zea mays farmland and a Citrus reticulata fields. Through the application of high-throughput sequencing, the 16S V3_V4 region of soil bacteria and the ITS region of fungi were sequenced in this experiment. Subsequently, a comparative analysis was conducted to explore and assess the structure and dissimilarities of soil bacterial and fungal communities of the four vegetation types were analyzed comparatively.

Results

Our findings indicated that woodland soil exhibit a higher richness of microbial diversity compared to farmland soils. There were significant differences between woodland and farmland soil microbial community composition. However, all four dominant phyla of soil fungi were Ascomycota across the four vegetation types, but the bacterial dominant phyla were different in the two-farmland soil microbial communities with the highest similarity. Furthermore, we established a significant correlation between the nutrient content of different vegetation types and the relative abundance of soil microorganisms at both phyla and genus levels. This experiment serves as a crucial step towards unraveling the intricate relationships between plants, soil microbes, and soil, as well as understanding the underlying driving mechanism.

Published: October 2023

Rice holds a vital position among staple crops worldwide, serving as a primary source of essential nutrition for a significant portion of the global population. Rice production is currently plagued by several problems causing a decline in crop yields. System of Rice Intensification (SRI) is a set of farming practices designed to improve the productivity and sustainability of rice cultivation. One of the reasons for the sustainability of SRI has been attributed to enhanced below-ground soil microbial processes around the SRI plant root system. This study assessed the effect of SRI and Normal Transplanting (NTP) cultivation methods on rhizospheric soil microbial populations, phyto-hormones, soil enzyme activities under four different nitrogen (N) treatments under a station trial and in on-farms experiments farmer’s. Rhizosphere soils and root samples of SRI exhibited significantly higher microbial population, microbial diversity, phyto - hormone production, enzyme activities in station trail. Among different levels of nitrogen fertilizer applications, treatments receiving 50% organic + 50% inorganic N forms possessed significantly higher microbiota and their activities. On farm trials also exhibited similar trends as the station trial. In conclusion, the study highlights the positive effects of SRI cultivation combined with a balanced organic and inorganic nitrogen treatment on soil microbial populations and phyto-hormone production and soil enzyme activities which could have an influence of system sustainability.

Place and Duration of Study: The seeds of F1 hybrids were produced during summer 2021 at Potato Research Station, S. D. Agricultural University, Deesa.

Methodology: The experimental material consisted of twelve parents, their 35 Line × Tester crosses and one standard check (ABGH 1).

Results: The analysis of variance for combining ability revealed that the mean sum of squares due to female (lines) and male (testers) were highly significant for all the traits except fruit girth, average fruit weight, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and total chlorophyll. The gca effects indicated that four male parents ABGS 14-25, ABGS 11-17, ABGS 11-24 and PUNJAB LONG and three female parents DBG 5, NDBG 132 and LOCAL were found good general combiners for fruit yield per plant and its some of the contributing traits. Based on estimates of sca effects, the most promising hybrids for fruit yield per plant were DBG 5 × ABGS 14-27, NDBG 132 × PUNJAB LONG and GPBG 108 × ABGS 11-24. The good general combiners for fruit yield and contributing traits can be utilized in intensive crossing programme and select transgressive segregants for desired characters in segregating generations to develop superior lines.

Conclusion: The ratio of σ2GCA / σ2SCAwas less than unity for all the characters under study, which suggested greater role of non-additive genetic variance in the inheritance of these characters. The genetic components of variance revealed that different type of gene action were involved for fruit yield associated with different traits in bottle gourd.

Authors: O. Caetano Liandra Aparecida , R. Bazon Marina
Published: October 2023

The General Strain Theory (GST) argues that situations/circumstances likely to generate tension foster negative emotions which, in turn, may create conditions for adolescents to manifest antisocial behaviors/offences as a coping strategy and/or as a way to relieve tension. An integrative literature review was conducted, with the objective of systematising and synthesising findings of studies, based on the GST, published in the last 11 years, aiming to circumscribe the contributions of this referential. The search was conducted on the Academic Search Premier, Web of Science and PsycINFO, with the keywords “General Strain Theory” AND “Juvenile delinquency”. To include the study into the review, the criterias were to have: (1) adolescents as target audience; (2) outcome variable “offences”; (3) GST as referential; (4) and being empirical. Fifty-four studies were selected. The results were organized into the following categories: (a) Sources of tension (events/situations likely to generate tensions, linked to the structure/functioning of society, community characteristics, school and family, linked significantly to involvement in offending, but also to other outcomes); (b) The different sources of tension by gender (in parallel with the common sources: romantic break-ups, financial stress and criminal victimisation); (c) Mediators and Moderators (anger, as predicted by the GST, is the main mediator; strong social bonds and positive family relationships stand out as moderators). The GST contributes by shedding light on the various sources of tension that permeate adolescent development and on the subjective dimension of emotions that may underlie the involvement of youth in offending. However, the relationships between tension and offending must be critically interpreted.Keywords: General Strain Theory, infractions, adolescence, emotions, literature review

Published: October 2023

The rational design and steering of earth‐abundant, efficient, and stable electrocatalysts for hydrogen generation is highly desirable but challenging with catalysts free of platinum group metals (PGMs). Mass production of high‐purity hydrogen fuel from seawater electrolysis presents a transformative technology for sustainable alternatives. Here, a heterostructure of molybdenum selenide‐nickel selenide (Mo3Se4‐NiSe) core–shell nanowire arrays constructed on nickel foam by a single‐step in situ hydrothermal process is reported. This tiered structure provides improved intrinsic activity and high electrical conductivity for efficient charge transfer and endows excellent hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity in alkaline and natural seawater conditions. The Mo3Se4‐NiSe freestanding electrodes require small overpotentials of 84.4 and 166 mV to reach a current density of 10 mA cm−2 in alkaline and natural seawater electrolytes, respectively. It maintains an impressive balance between electrocatalytic activity and stability. Experimental and theoretical calculations reveal that the Mo3Se4‐NiSe interface provides abundant active sites for the HER process, which modulate the binding energies of adsorbed species and decrease the energetic barrier, providing a new route to design state‐of‐the‐art, PGM‐free catalysts for hydrogen production from alkaline and seawater electrolysis.

Published: October 2023

Molecular layer deposition (MLD) is an incredibly powerful and flexible tool for designing completely new materials with novel and unique properties. The low temperature layer‐by‐layer approach and the use of highly reactive reactants allows one to combine vastly different organic and inorganic species and construct nanostructures with subnanometer precision. If not limited by the volatility of the reactants involved, the possibilities will be endless. This is most notable for the organic building blocks where an overall low volatility severely limits the toolbox of large molecules with interesting optical and electrical properties such as red‐ox activity and optical conversion. In this work, different strategies for molecular design of large molecules are investigated that allow vaporization while still having the necessary reactivity for MLD growth. Using these strategies, film growth with perylene and porphyrin derivatives, both molecules well known for their functional and optical properties are successfully achieved. With this knowledge, there is an opening to include much larger and more complex organic molecules into the world of vapor phase chemistry.
Giant Light‐Harvesting in Dye‐Loaded Nanoparticles Enhanced by Blank Hydrophobic Salts

Published: October 2023

Light‐harvesting is a fundamental process in nature, which inspires researchers to develop artificial systems for photocatalysis, photovoltaics, and biosensing. A previously introduced light‐harvesting nanoantenna, based on polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) loaded with rhodamine dyes and bulky hydrophobic counterions, provides a record‐breaking antenna effect ≈1000. However, the high dye cooperativity of its thousands of encapsulated dyes causes energy losses by traces of self‐quenched dye aggregates. Here, it is found that these imperfections can be suppressed by blank hydrophobic salts (BHS) formed by the same bulky counterion (fluorinated tetraphenylborate) with an optically inactive cation, analogs of ionic liquids. The presence of BHS increases twofold the fluorescence quantum yields and fluorescence lifetimes of NPs and suppresses their fluorescence blinking. This study assumes that BHS provides an excess of bulky counterions that excludes traces of dye aggregates. As a result, an efficient Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET) is achieved from 40 000 dye donors to a single acceptor within a 70 nm particle, leading to the antenna effect of 4800, which is by far the highest value reported to date. Using this nanoantenna, a single‐molecule detection of the FRET acceptor is realized at low excitation power using an RGB camera of a smartphone.
