The Caitlin Clark Effect
Authors: Lucas Shelley
Published: January 2025

The Caitlin Clark Effect is a term that describes the impact of the University of Iowa
basketball player on the popularity of women’s basketball, which occurred in conjunction
with Clark’s record-breaking performances in 2023 and 2024, as well as the Iowa team’s
successes in the NCAA championship tournament. While the Caitlin Clark Effect is
associated with intense media attention, ticket sales, and viewership, it also
illuminates significant and lesser-known aspects of women’s sport history, specifically
media coverage, the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW), and the
state of Iowa’s unique basketball heritage and ‘6-on-6’ basketball rules. The purpose of
this article is to present these three topics as important historical foundations
underlying the Caitlin Clark Effect. More importantly, these three topics help to
demonstrate the complex and uneven movement towards equitable, visible, and valued
women’s sports participation in the US—in other words, social change.
Benefits, Challenges, and Strategies for Increasing Women Coaches in Elite
Sport
Authors: Angriman Anika Anna , Ransdell Lynda B. , Lucas Shelley , LaVoi Nicole
Published: January 2025

Despite tremendous growth in sport participation of girls and women following Title IX
in 1972, women’s participation as sport coaches did not follow the same trajectory. In
fact, women remain significantly underrepresented in sport coaching. Research highlights
ongoing barriers within the sport industry's patriarchal structure, and although
strategies have been proposed to improve women’s representation, the lack of progress
over the past two decades indicates limited effectiveness. A better approach is
essential to address this issue across individual, interpersonal, organizational, and
societal levels. The purpose of this study is to interview participants within the U.S.
cross-country skiing program, Trail to Gold (T2G), to learn about its programming and
implementation, with an eye toward learning from this comprehensive, multidimensional
approach to help advance women coaches in all elite sports. Eight coaches and
administrators who participated in the T2G program completed semi-structured interviews.
Interviews were transcribed verbatim and reviewed by participants for accuracy. Key
themes were identified using both inductive and deductive qualitative analysis methods,
with final themes confirmed by triangulation. T2G participants highlighted the
importance of a supportive environment, robust networking, and effective sponsorship to
advance women in coaching roles. This study expands the recommended strategies to
increase women’s representation in sports coaching by learning from women coaches and
administrators who work in environments that value and actively pursue gender parity.
Continued support for women coaches is essential for gender equality, enhanced team
performance, and a more inclusive sporting environment.

Glosa aprobująca do wyroku Sądu Wojewódzkiego w Szczecinie z dnia 10 marca 2022 r., II SA/Sz 1285/21
Authors: Jóźwiak Daniel
Published: January 2025

Wyrok Wojewódzkiego Sądu Administracyjnego w Szczecinie z 10 marca 2022 r., sygn. akt II SA/Sz 1285/211, jest istotnym głosem w dyskusji nad zróżnicowaniem sytuacji osób uprawnionych do otrzymywania świadczeń rodzinnych, szczególnie w kontekście postanowienia art. 17 ust. 1 ustawy o świadczeniach rodzinnych. Sprawa dotyczyła wniosku o przyznanie świadczenia pielęgnacyjnego z powodu zrezygnowania z zatrudnienia lub innej pracy zarobkowej w celu opieki nad szwagrem z niepełnosprawnością. Stronie odmówiono świadczenia. Wniosła ona skargę do Wojewódzkiego Sądu Administracyjnego. Sąd dokonał interpretacji przepisów prokonstytucyjnie, odbiegający od wykładni przepisów sensu stricto. Wyrok ten może być intersujący głosem w polskim orzecznictwie. Powołano się na zasadę równości, sprawiedliwości. Wskazano także na wyroki innych sadów w podobnej sprawie oraz także odwołaniem się do przepisów prawnych które mogą znacząco wpłynąć na bardziej słuszną wykładnie art. 17 ust. 5 pkt 1 lit ustawy o świadczeniach rodzinnych . W rezultacie osoby, których sytuacja tego wymagała, zostały objęte wsparciem ze strony systemu pomocy społecznej. Rozrzedzenie grona osób uprawnionych do świadczeń przez Sąd jest istotnym krokiem w celu bardziej sprawiedliwej wykładni art. 17 ust. 5 pkt 1 lit. Autor wskazał na rozbieżności polskiej linii orzeczniczej na daną sprawę oraz wskazał argumenty które aprobują wyrok sądu w Szczecinie.

Special Anti-Evasion Rules in International Taxation: The Legal Nature and Developement Prospects
Authors:   Head of the Tax Policy Research Laboratory of the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, PhD (Law), Machekhin Viktor A.
Published: January 2025

The paper examines the development of special anti-avoidance rules in international taxation: transfer pricing, thin
capitalization, taxation of controlled foreign companies and the concept of beneficial right on income. It has been
established that the further development of these rules faces serious problems. To solve these problems, it is proposed
to recognize that in general, special anti-avoidance rules of international taxation solve problems related to the legal
fragmentation of cross-border companies. Recognition of the unity of a group of such companies in tax relations will
significantly reduce the need for the application of special anti-avoidance rules.

Published: January 2025

This article discusses the tax privileges that are granted to persons who have the status of family citizens and who receive the opportunity not to increase
the income tax base through payments directed to family members of such a taxpayer and his close relatives. However, the legislator allows a different approach
to the categories of family members, the age of children and other conditions, which leads to a violation of the principles of equal and fair taxation.

Animals as Online Resources for Human Storytelling. Between Exploitation and Anthrozoological Empowerment
Authors: Bauer Iris
Published: January 2025

The paper deals with online representations of animals and examines the extent to which the digital age, with its media and specific characteristics, influences the representation of animals. The text introduces the basic questions of human animal studies, using Randy Malamud’s virtual animal concept to scrutinise online representations of animals in social media. Based on Spivak’s concept of subalternity, online-animals are discussed as subaltern representations, that are instrumentalised in human story telling: as an economic resource, as a projection surface for individual life writing and identity creation and as a means of social networking. Yet social media are also discussed as a space in which anthrozoological empowerment can take place. Based on Kari Weil’s concept of the contact zone, the virtual animal is discussed as a space of possibilities for a posthuman language that, with the help of digital possibilities of representation, unsettles anthropocentric hegemony.
Mimikra, autofikcja, genealogia. O(d)grywanie traumy, rekonstruowanie autobiografii w postmemorialnym pisarstwie Moniki Rakusy
Authors: Dąbrowski Bartosz
Published: January 2025

W artykule zajmuję się jednym z pogranicznych przypadków współczesnych narracji autobiograficznych. Pisarstwo Moniki Rakusy, świadome ograniczeń charakterystycznych dla praktyk postpamięci, tworzy autorefleksyjną i ironiczną odmianę postmemorialnej prozy biograficznej, podejmującą złożoną grę z formami autofikcjonalnymi i gatunkowymi (np. z dziennikami/blogami typowymi dla life-writing i „brydżetami” wzorowanymi na dzienniku Bridget Jones). Ironiczna strategia tworzenia „mieszanin” genologicznych oddaje perypetie hybrydycznego usytuowania żydowskiej tożsamości narratorki, która z jednej strony zmaga się z międzypokoleniową traumą, antysemityzmem i niełatwym do określenia statusem pochodzenia, z drugiej zaś, świadoma performatywnego charakteru własnych i społecznych praktyk/przymusów biograficznych, zdaje się być uwikłana w opisane przez Homi Bhabhę mechanizmy mimikry, udawania innej tożsamości jako kontynuacje strategii ukrywania i maskowania żydowskości. W artykule szczegółowo badam relacje pomiędzy autofikcją, postpamięcią i modalnością autobiograficzną narracji rodzinnych oraz ironicznymi technikami dystansowania zawartymi w trzech tekstach prozatorskich (łże-dzienniku 39,9, powieści Żona Adama oraz zbiorze opowiadań Cień). W tych wariantach „parabiografii” (Artur Sandauer), autofikcjonalnie eksponowana literackość jako szczególna forma „mimetyzmu zranienia”, pośredniczy zarówno pomiędzy obszarami „żydowskiego” doświadczenia antysemityzmu i traumy oraz traktowanymi z dystansem konwencjonalnymi formułami szczerości life-writing, jak i z postmemorialnymi wysiłkami zrozumienia przeszłości.

W monografii podjęto zagadnienia z zakresu szeroko rozumianego prawa finansowego. Przedmiotem zainteresowania autorów jest przede wszystkim identyfikacja cech niezbędnych instytucji prawa finansowego, zaś zasadniczym punktem odniesienia w prowadzonych rozważaniach uczyniono normy i wartości wynikające z Konstytucji Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej.
Publikacja to jednocześnie zbiór opracowań przygotowanych na podstawie referatów wygłoszonych podczas konferencji naukowej „Finanse publiczne a Konstytucja” zorganizowanej na Wydziale Prawa i Administracji Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego przez Katedrę Prawa Finansowego. Patronat honorowy nad tą konferencją objął Prezes Naczelnego Sądu Administracyjnego. Była ona wydarzeniem towarzyszącym uroczystości odnowienia doktoratu prof. dr hab. Teresy Dębowskiej-Romanowskiej. Uroczystość ta stanowi wyraz uhonorowania przez najwybitniejszych przedstawicieli nauki Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego. Promotorem odnowienia doktoratu był prof. dr hab. Witold Kulesza.
Tom otwierają wystąpienia poświęcone działalności naukowej i służbie sędziowskiej prof. dr hab. Teresy Dębowskiej-Romanowskiej w Naczelnym Sądzie Administracyjnym i Trybunale Konstytucyjnym. Teksty tworzące zasadniczą części monografii zostały usystematyzowane w czterech blokach tematycznych poświęconych zagadnieniom ogólnym prawa finansowego w świetle norm konstytucyjnych, wydatkom publicznym i stabilności finansowej jako wartości konstytucyjnej, teorii i praktyce danin publicznych oraz instytucjom prawa budżetowego.
Konstytucyjny limit zadłużenia w doświadczeniach Polski i Hiszpanii
Authors: Kossak Dominik
Published: January 2025

Opracowanie analizuje konstytucyjne limity zadłużenia w państwach członkowskich Unii Europejskiej, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem Polski i Hiszpanii. W polskiej Konstytucji limit zadłużenia wynosi 3/5 wartości rocznego PKB, a jego naruszenie grozi poważnymi konsekwencjami. Autor podkreśla, że brak elastyczności tej regulacji może utrudniać dostosowanie się do zmieniających się warunków makroekonomicznych. W Hiszpanii limit zadłużenia został wprowadzony w reakcji na kryzys finansowy. Istnieje możliwość tymczasowego przekroczenia tego limitu w sytuacjach wyjątkowych, takich jak katastrofy naturalne czy recesja. Jednak sama procedura wprowadzenia zmian w Konstytucji budziła kontrowersje z powodu braku dialogu i pośpiechu, w jakim się ona odbywała. Autor analizuje także konsekwencje przekroczenia limitów zadłużenia w ramach procedury unikania nadmiernego deficytu w Unii Europejskiej. Zastanawia się, czy pandemia zmieni podejście do limitów zadłużenia i czy konieczne będzie dostosowanie konstytucyjnych zapisów do nowej rzeczywistości ekonomicznej. Ostatecznie analiza wskazuje na różnice między państwami w podejściu do regulacji zadłużenia oraz na wyzwania związane z utrzymaniem równowagi finansów publicznych w obliczu zmieniających się warunków gospodarczych.
Daniny publiczne a prawa podstawowe w Ustawie Zasadniczej RFN
Authors: Mirek Ireneusz
Published: January 2025

Normy prawa danin publicznych nie mogą naruszać zasadniczych praw i wolności jednostki, określanych w Niemczech mianem „praw podstawowych”. Wiążą one władzę ustawodawczą, wykonawczą i sądowniczą jako prawo bezpośrednio obowiązujące. Szczególne znaczenie mają tu takie prawa podstawowe jak ochrona godności ludzkiej, powszechne prawo do wolności, zasada równości, ochrona małżeństwa i rodziny, swoboda wyboru i wykonywania zawodu, gwarancja poszanowania własności. Mimo wysiłków doktryny praktyczne znaczenie praw podstawowych w aspekcie badania konstytucyjności danin oraz ograniczania swobody ustawodawcy w tym zakresie jest raczej niewielkie. Bardzo rzadko zdarza się, aby Federalny Sąd Konstytucyjny usunął z systemu prawa daninę publiczną wyłącznie na podstawie materialnego naruszenia praw podstawowych. Wynika to z wielu złożonych przyczyn, by wymienić choćby ostrożność i staranność ustawodawcy w procesie legislacyjnym, konsekwentną „powściągliwość sędziowską” w sprawach bieżącej polityki czy notowane jeszcze w orzecznictwie echa pozytywizmu prawniczego.
Czy można jeszcze zapobiec instrumentalnemu stosowaniu art. 70 § 6 pkt 1 Ordynacji podatkowej?
Authors: Szymczak Aneta
Published: January 2025

W opracowaniu podjęta została problematyka zasad zawieszania biegu terminu przedawnienia zobowiązania podatkowego w związku z wszczęciem postępowania karnego skarbowego. Zagadnienie to ma stosunkowo długą historię i wiąże się nie tylko z konstytucyjnymi standardami prawa finansowego, ale także z ustrojowymi granicami kognicji sądów administracyjnych i karnych. Nie sposób przejść do porządku dziennego nad praktyką instrumentalnego wszczynania postępowań karnych skarbowych bez wyraźnych podstaw. Takie działanie mogłoby bowiem niweczyć zasadę, zgodnie z którą regulacja terminów przedawnienia zobowiązań podatkowych stanowi wyłącznie domenę ustawodawcy.

Authors: Xie Youru , Xia Wan , Li Caoyin , Qiu Yi
Published: January 2025

High-quality teachers are essential to building a strong educational system, with digital teaching literacy being crucial to their professional development. This study, informed by a review of existing research, addressed the need for enhancing the digital teaching literacy among primary and secondary school teachers. Utilizing the MOOC construction concept (Concept), MOOC teaching content (Content), and MOOC design and development (Development)CCD model and the large-scale capabilities of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), this study developed the M-PRAE model, which encompasses five components: building a MOOC, clarifying improvement problems, supplying digital and non-digital resources, implementing collaborative activities, and conducting multi-dimensional evidence-based evaluations. The M-PRAE model facilitated the development of the “Innovative Application of Digital Teaching” MOOC, which was subsequently implemented with over 2,000 primary and secondary school teachers in Guangdong Province, China, to assess its effectiveness. The results indicate that the M-PRAE model effectively enhances digital teaching literacy among primary and secondary school teachers on a large and contributes to the innovative development of basic education.
Smart Education across Academic Disciplines: A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Wong Billy T.M. , Cheong Li Kam , Liu Mengjin
Published: January 2025

Smart education has been practiced in many academic disciplines. To investigate the relationship between the implementation of smart education and the nature of academic disciplines, this paper presents a systematic review to address the literature gap. The study synthesized 110 journal articles collected from Scopus, which were published between 2010 and 2022 and reported smart education practices in higher education. Academic disciplines involved in the practices were categorized into Hard-Pure, Soft-Pure, Hard-Applied, and Soft-Applied based on the Biglan’s classification. The results illustrated that the practices were implemented mainly at the undergraduate level, and most frequently in the language and computer science disciplines. Enhancing learning motivation and engagement and offering learning content and feedback were the most common objectives of smart education practices. The most popular type of learning mode was face-to-face. Online learning was more widespread in applied disciplines, while blended learning was more frequently involved in pure disciplines. The predominantly used technique and learning device were learning platforms / learning management systems and mobile devices, respectively. Additionally, the review found that the majority of pedagogical approaches to smart education were student-centered. Moreover, some pedagogical approaches, such as game-based learning, tended to be specific to certain disciplinary categories.

Authors: Bhatt Ashish , Verma S.K. , Panwar R.K. , Reddy S.G.P. Karthikeya , Pragati Kumari , Kumawat Shubham , Rana Anupriya , Yadav Harikant
Published: January 2025

Background: Understanding genetic variability parameters, correlation analysis and employing multivariate techniques such as principal component analysis and diversity analysis are crucial for designing effective breeding programs and conserving germplasm in pigeonpea. Morphological studies, when combined with multivariate analysis, offer valuable insights into genetic diversity, aiding in the selection of diverse parental lines and identifying promising segregants in hybridization programs. Methods: The study utilized 155 diverse genotypes of pigeon pea, planted in a randomized complete block design with three replications during the kharif seasons of 2022-23 and 2023-24. Character association analysis, multivariate analysis like PCA and diversity assessment were utilized. Result: Principal component analysis was employed to assess variability, where the first two principal components explained 35.63% of the total variability, with traits such as DFF, DM, NSB and NPP contributing significantly to variance. Morphological genetic diversity was assessed using Mahalanobis D2 statistics and hierarchical clustering. Morphological diversity assessment grouped the 155 pigeon pea genotypes into 9 clusters, with cluster I being the largest (88 genotypes). Hierarchical clustering identified 6 distinct clusters, with cluster-I housing the highest number of genotypes (43). Interestingly, the study revealed non-consistent connections between morphological diversity assessments and the geographical origin of genotypes. Based on genetic D2 values, genotypes in clusters VI and VII, followed by clusters VI and VIII, were found to be the most genetically distant, suggesting their potential use in hybridization programs to create diverse progenies. Selecting desirable genotypes from different clusters based on their performance could lead to the development of superior recombinants through hybridization.

Authors: Cleves Leguízamo José Alejandro
Published: January 2025

El Seguro a la Inversión Agrícola, normalmente conocido como Seguro agrícola, es el fundamento técnico para Gestión Integral del Riesgo (GIR), además de ser considerado por los especialistas como una herramienta eficiente para la planificación del sector rural, con enfoque territorial. En Colombia, se han realizado varios intentos por establecerlo, desarrollarlo y aplicarlo; no obstante, por múltiples factores entre los que se destaca el alto riesgo moral asociado a procesos de corrupción y la baja cultura del uso del seguro, su implementación ha tenido múltiples inconvenientes. En el último lustro, esta temática ha tomado una significativa relevancia como una herramienta eficiente para la gestión de los riesgos agropecuarios a fenómenos ambientales, como el cambio y la variabilidad climática. Este documento académico, recoge sistemáticamente, las experiencias del autor, recopiladas desde el año de 1993, por medio del desarrollo de procesos técnicos de asesoría especializada para el manejo de los riesgos agrícolas de origen hidroclimático en empresas aseguradoras y reaseguradoras a nivel nacional e internacional. El libro, El Seguro a la Inversión Agrícola en Colombia: Fundamentos técnicos y metodológicos, se encuentra dividido en cinco capítulos: en el primero, se abordan las generalidades del Seguro Agrícola; en el segundo, se describen las coberturas del Seguro Agrícola en Colombia; en el tercero, se muestran a nivel general, los 8 cultivos asegurables y priorizados por la normatividad en Colombia; en el cuarto capítulo, se presenta el cálculo de las primas de riesgo y se describen los procesos de peritación, suscripción y ajuste de siniestros y, en el quinto apartado, se presentan las perspectivas del Seguro Agrícola en Colombia. Finalmente, se encuentran las conclusiones, la bibliografía y los anexos. La principal fortaleza de este libro, se centra en que hace un aporte, hasta ahora inédito, para el servicio de la comunidad académica (investigadores, estudiantes, instituciones de educación y formación), al igual que del agro colombiano (productores, asociaciones, gremios, instituciones públicas y privadas).
Música, maestro: relación entre los documentales musicales y las ficciones de Scorsese
Authors: Ponte Guerrero Jenniffer , Rodríguez Peña José , Situ Ramírez Alejandra , Sheyla Tafur Aliaga Sheyla Tafur
Published: January 2025

Divertido, polémico, intrigante, arriesgado y crítico de la cultura americana. Así es Martin Scorsese. Graduado de la Escuela de Cine de Nueva York, muchas de sus obras han tenido gran acogida entre los espectadores y otras, pese a sus intentos, no han alcanzado el éxito esperado. Scorsese refleja su fanatismo y amor hacia la música en todas sus producciones, ya sea en la trama o en la caracterización de los personajes. Retrata Nueva York como una ciudad sombría, sucia y pecaminosa en la que existe una lucha entre lo moral y lo inmoral. Por ello cabe preguntarse si los documentales musicales de Scorsese presentan estas características de sus películas de ficción.

El terrorismo marcó a toda una generación y esto se ve representado en el cine. Por ello, las películas que hacen alusión al terrorismo podrían pertenecen a un género cinematográfico. En el siguiente texto se busca, primero, definir qué es un género para posteriormente comparar sus características con el cine sobre el terrorismo en el Perú.
Ingmar Bergman (1920-1993)
Authors: Pita Dueñas César , Martínez Sipión Juan Carlos
Published: January 2025

Se dice que Bergman es el cineasta que mejor sabe retratar las relaciones humanas en sus reales dimensiones. El dolor, el amor, la resignación, el engaño, el deterioro silencioso y la tragedia inherente a la familia pueblan un universo fílmico que parece invitar a la desesperación y al desconsuelo. A ello se suman las reflexiones en torno a la muerte y la hipótesis de un mundo en el que Dios no existe. Sin embargo, la obra de Bergman va más allá de la sensación de castigo y se presenta como un espejo en el que podemos observarnos. Lo que sucede es que no nos gusta lo que vemos del otro lado.

Las mejores películas de John Huston retratan a los perdedores de la manera más humana posible. Aquí no hay héroes, sino seres de carne y hueso que transitan un camino lleno de derrotas. Las peores películas de John Huston son obras por encargo, hechas con el único propósito de sobrevivir en una industria, la de Hollywood, que suele comerse a sus autores sin piedad.

Published: January 2025

Gravimetry is a simple and fast method used to determine the weight percentage of alkaloid content in natural samples when analyzing compound content. Gravimetry is a basic knowledge and skills in analytical chemistry. A student-centered learning approach is needed to acquire integrated chemical laboratory knowledge and skills. Integrated learning outcomes between knowledge and skills can be achieved, one of which is through project-based learning (PjBL). One of the things we report in this article is the development of a practical module based on PjBL. This article reported the research and development (RnD) of a project-based practical module on gravimetric analysis using the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation (ADDIE) stages to obtain a valid and reliable practical module. The module's validation was analyzed using content validity with the FGD technique through the assessment of five experts. Validity data analysis used Aiken's and Cronbach's alpha for reliability. This article also reports the results of observations of the PjBL practicum of gravimetric alkaloid analysis by 18 students regarding the clarity of the practicum objectives, content, instructions, and ease of the module in guiding the practicum in the Laboratory. By using the ADDIE development steps, we produced a PjBL practicum module with the validity of the Aiken analysis results showing an index of 0.92, indicating that the module developed was valid, had a reliability of 0.78, and had a practicality percentage of 89.77%. The developed PjBL teaching module has also increased students' motivation and basic chemistry laboratory skills when conducting gravimetric analysis practicum.

Quasi-solid polymer electrolytes (QSPEs) are considered a promising alternative to liquid electrolytes for high-voltage lithium metal batteries. Herein, we present their properties and performance supported on polyolefin microporous separators. These QSPEs consist of a poly(vinylidene-fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) polymer matrix, ethylene carbonate as a plasticizer, and various lithium salt mixtures, including lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LiFSI), lithium bis(oxalate)borate (LiBOB), and LiNO3 as a solid electrolyte interface-forming additive. They exhibit an ionic conductivity of ca. 1 mS cm-1 at room temperature and excellent resistance against lithium dendrites, attributed to the presence of the tough polyolefin separator. The effect of the lithium salt mixture composition on lithium plating/stripping performance and electrooxidation stability was studied in detail, showing that LiNO3, while having a clear positive effect on the plating/stripping performance, may also adversely affect the oxidative stability of the electrolyte, accelerating the degradation of the cathode/electrolyte interface. QSPEs with binary LiFSI/LiBOB salt mixtures were tested at room temperature in a LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2||Li monolayer pouch cell with a cathode area capacity of ca. 2.5 mAh cm-2. This cell delivered an initial capacity close to 200 mAh g-1 at C/20, 150 mAh g-1 at C/1, and 80% capacity retention after 100 cycles at 25 °C. The results demonstrate the viability of supported QSPEs, based on poly(vinylidene-fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene), ethylene carbonate, LiFSI and LiBOB, for application in high-voltage quasi solid-state lithium metal batteries.

The interest in lithium solid-state batteries (LSSBs) is rapidly escalating, driven by their impressive energy density and safety features. However, they face crucial challenges, including limited ionic conductivity, high interfacial resistance, and unwanted side reactions. Intensive research has been conducted on polymer solid-state electrolytes positioned between the anode and cathode, aiming to replace traditional liquid electrolytes. To alleviate interfacial resistance and mitigate adverse reactions between electrodes and polymer electrolytes, the interfacial modification strategy has been proven to enhance the energy density of LSSBs. This design process is grounded in precise and elaborate theories, with in-situ /operando techniques and simulation methods facilitating the interpretation and validation of structure-property relationships by simplifying them. This review first outlines the recent advancements in surface modification strategies specifically tailored for solid polymer electrolytes. Furthermore, it also provides an overview of innovative in-situ /operando characterizations and simulation methods featured in recent publications, which can gain a more accurate understanding of processes that occur within materials, devices, or chemical reactions as they are happening. Lastly, the review discusses the existing challenges and presents a forward-looking perspective on the future of the next-generation LSSBs.

Todays ultrasonic transducers find broad application in diverse technology branches and most often cannot be replaced by other actuators. They are typically based on lead containing piezoelectric ceramics. These should be replaced for environmental and health issues by lead-free alternatives. Multiple material alternatives are already known, but there is a lack of information about their technological readiness level. To fill this gap., a small series of prestressed longitudinally vibrating transducers was set up with a standard PZT material and two lead-free variants within this study. The entire process for building the transducers is documented: Characteristics of individual ring ceramics, burn-in results, free vibration and characteristics under load are shown. The main result is that the investigated lead-free materials are ready to use within ultrasonic bolted Langevin transducers (BLT) for medium power applications, when the geometrical setup of the transducer is adopted. Since lead-free ceramics need higher voltages to achieve the same power level, the driving electronics or the mechanical setup must be altered specifically for each material. Lower self-heating of the lead-free materials might be attractive for heat sensitive processes.

Lithium-ion batteries are a key technology in supply chains for modern electric vehicles. The production of lithium-ion batteries is complex and can be prone to defects. As such, the detection of defective batteries at end-of-line is critical to ensure performance and safety for the consumer. Existing end-of-line testing relies heavily on electrical measurements for identifying defective cells. However, it is possible that not all pertinent information is encoded within the electrical measurements alone. Reversible expansion in lithium-ion cells is an indicator of lithiation within the cell, while irreversible expansion is a consequence of the ageing process, unexpected expansion may indicate the presence of undesirable defects.. By measuring expansion in addition to electrical measurements, we aim to make better and faster quality predictions during end-of-line testing, thereby facilitating the early detection of potential defects.. To make these predictions, we implement artificial intelligence algorithms to extract information from the measurements. The training of these networks requires large amounts of training data, which is expensive to produce. In this paper, we demonstrate a first order physical modelling approach for generating synthetic data to pretrain artificial intelligence algorithms that perform anomaly detection on lithium-ion battery cells at end-of-line. By pretraining the artificial intelligence network using synthetic data, we can leverage existing physical models to reduce the amount of training data required.

Endometriosis is one of the most controversial diseases in contemporary medicine. This especially concerns ovarian endometriosis. With the introduction of new World Health Organization (WHO) classifications, both clinical (ICD-11) and pathological, adopted in 2020, the classification and terminology of ovarian endometriosis have not been clarified, and many questions have arisen due to fundamental contradictions within one classification and when assessing their compliance. This article discusses aspects of the toxicity of ovarian endometriosis and the impact of cystectomy on the fertility of patients with this pathology. Together, molecular and morphogenetic features allow to substantiate the indications for surgical treatment of ovarian endometriosis, and histo-structural features enable to make the choice in favor of ablative techniques rather than cystectomy. In the conclusion of the article, the problem of choosing hormone therapy is considered. In this regard, data on the resistance of endometrioid tissue to progesterone are presented. Ethinylestradiol can not only neutralize this resistance, but also enhance the anti-proliferative effect of progestogen, as well as accelerate the processes of apoptosis of endometrioid cells.

Introduction. Induction Motors (IM) possess advantages such as stability, reliability, and ease of control, making them suitable for many purposes; the literature elucidates control methodologies for IM drives, primarily focusing on scalar and vector control techniques; the conventional method utilized in manufacturing is scalar control, which unfortunately demonstrates optimal performance solely in steady-state conditions. The absence of significant instantaneous torque control restricts flux and dissociated torque, resulting in subpar dynamic responsiveness. Indirect Field Oriented Control (IFOC) for IM drives has proven beneficial for various industrial applications, particularly electric vehicle propulsion. The primary advantages of this approach include the decoupling of torque and flux characteristics and its straightforward implementation. The novelty of the work consists of a proposal for a driving cycle model for testing the control system of electric vehicles in Mosul City (Iraq), and using a Complex Fractional Order Proportional Integral (CFOPI) controller to control IMs via IFOC strategies, the Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm was applied, which is considered to be highly efficient in finding the values of controllers. Purpose. Improvement IFOC techniques for the regulation of IM speed. Methods. Using the ABC algorithm in tuning the two unique CFOPI controller, and a Real Fractional Order Proportional Integral (RFOPI) controller, to regulate the speed of a three-phase IM via IFOC techniques. Results. The CFOPI controller outperforms the RFOPI controller in obtaining the best performance in controlling the IM. Practical value. The CFOPI controller demonstrates superiority over the RFOPI controller, as evidenced by the lower integral time absolute error in motor speed tracking during the driving cycle 2.1004 for the CFOPI controller compared to 2.1538 for the RFOPI controller.

Introduction. Photovoltaic (PV) systems play a crucial role in converting solar energy into electricity, but their efficiency is highly influenced by environmental factors such as irradiance and temperature. To optimize power output, Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) techniques are used. This paper introduces a novel approach utilizing a Type-2 Fuzzy Logic Controller (T2FLC) for MPPT in PV systems. The novelty of the proposed work lies in the development of a T2FLC that offers enhanced adaptability by managing a higher degree of uncertainty, we introduce an original method that calculates the error between the output voltage and a dynamically derived reference voltage, which is obtained using a mathematical equation. This reference voltage adjusts in real-time based on changes in environmental conditions, allowing for more precise and stable MPPT performance. The purpose of this paper is to design and validate the effectiveness of a T2FLC-based MPPT technique for PV systems. This approach seeks to enhance power extraction efficiency in response to dynamic environmental factors such as changing irradiance and temperature. The methods used in this study involve the implementation of T2FLC to adjust the duty cycle of a DC-DC converter for continuous and precise MPPT. The system was simulated under various environmental conditions, comparing the performance of T2FLC against T1FLC. The results show that the T2FLC MPPT system significantly outperforms traditional methods in terms of tracking speed, stability, and power efficiency. T2FLC demonstrated faster convergence to the MPP, reduced oscillations, and higher accuracy in rapidly changing environmental conditions. The findings of this study confirm the practical value of T2FLC logic in improving the efficiency and stability of PV systems, making it a promising solution for enhancing renewable energy technologies.
