La vejez en el porfiriato (1876-1910): representaciones en prensa y literatura mexicana
Authors: Vivaldo Martínez Juan Pablo
Published: May 2024

El objetivo que persigue esta obra no es elaborar una historia del porfiriato, pues desde hace décadas han aparecido cientos de inmejorables trabajos sobre el tema que lo han abordado desde una gran cantidad de aristas. Se reflexiona sobre el porfiriato desde una perspectiva sociocultural que visibiliza el papel que desempeñaron las personas envejecidas en la sociedad porfiriana citadina, puesto que, con base en la investigación histórica, fue en aquellos años cuando los viejos y los ancianos aparecieron con mayor frecuencia en la vida del país. Esta obra busca examina la historia de la vejez en México durante el porfiriato, un periodo en el que la desigualdad social y económica marginó a aquellos que no formaron parte de la sociedad porfiriana privilegiada.
M. Gorky’s Publishing Project: the Magazine “Our Achievements”
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Egorova Yulia M.
Published: May 2024

Arrived from Italy to the Soviet Union on May 28, 1928, M. Gorky almost immediately got involved in public and editorial work. The writer began cooperation with “Krestyanskaya Gazeta,” at the same time he began to implement his publishing project — the magazine “Our Achievements,” the purpose of which was to highlight the results of the work of the worker-peasant government in all sectors of the national economy. It was a long-standing idea of the writer, born back in 1921. The publication “Our Journal” had practically the same goals as “Our Achievements.” However, his exit was stopped by a forced departure abroad in October 1921. Upon returning to the Union of Soviets, Gorky decided to revive the magazine, but under a different name. According to him, “Our Achievements” became a matter of “his soul,” which he wrote about in the articles “Our Achievements” and “About the magazine ‘Our Achievements’” even before the first issue appeared. A wide range of scientists and cultural figures, as well as the best essay writers, were attracted to cooperation. It published both novice and well-known writers. The magazine “Our Achievements” was published between January 1929 and May 1937. A year after the release of the first issue, “Our Achievements” had an addition — a magazine of photographic documents “USSR at a Construction Site.” In search of a new manner of presenting material, Gorky experimented in the field of genre. For the magazine “Our Achievements” he developed a new genre of documentary essay, and for “USSR in Construction” — the genre of “dynamic photo essay.”
M. Gorky and “The Poet’s Library” Series
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Plotnikova Anastasia G.
Published: May 2024

The article describes Maxim Gorky’s role in the creation of the “Poet’s Library” series. The writer was the organizer and inspirational figure behind the project, but his attitude towards it changed from 1931 to 1936. Various creative, scientific, organizational and political factors influenced the development of the series. Gorky’s personal relationships with certain Leningrad writers (Konstantin Fedin, Ilya Gruzdev, Vissarion Sayanov, Mikhail Slonimsky and Yury Tynyanov) significantly influenced the destiny of the series. In a similar way, Gorky’s relationship with Lev Kamenev, the director of the “Academia” publishing house, also influenced the series development. Gorky expounded the initial concept of the series in his article “On the Poet’s Library,” which differed significantly from the books of the series published by the Publishing House of Leningrad Writers. In 1934, this resulted in a conflict with the editorial office, which put into question the existence of the series. An innovative approach to the preparation of literary texts and historical and cultural commentary allowed the “Poet’s Library” series to be published throughout the period of over 90 years. The books of the series became the exemplar of academic mass publication, and its editorial office became the school of Soviet textual criticism. The article is based on the huge corpus of research on this topic from the 20th and 21st centuries. Furthermore, the article uses materials from the correspondence between Gorky and staff of the publishing house, as well as materials from the Maxim Gorky Archive in Moscow, the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art (RGALI) and the Central State Archive of Literature and Art of St. Petersburg (TsGALI).
M. Gorky and the Publishing House “Znanie” (1905–1913)
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Kaskina Yulia U.
Published: May 2024

The article continues the history of the development of the publishing house “Znanie,” which ended in 1913 with its closure. The author of the article traces the fate of the famous literary collections “Znanie,” published under the editorship of A.M. Gorky from 1904 to 1912, which were very intense and in demand. The money received for them was partially transferred to the party fund. Published since 1906 at the insistence of Gorky, who in turn was asked by the Bolsheviks, the Marxist books in the department of party literature in the “Deshevaia biblioteka” series turned out to be unclaimed. Tsarist censorship tightened after the defeat of the revolution. They and the collections “Znanie” were often seized, some issues were confiscated. This was the beginning of the financial collapse of the publishing house. The unanimity of the writer and editor Gorky with the experienced publisher Pyatnitsky gave way to sharp disagreements. Incited by V.I. Lenin, Gorky began to demand financial reports, and insisted on an arbitration court. However, no violations were found and the trial did not take place. One of the main reasons for the ruin and closure of the once successful publishing house was the fact that it financed the activities of the Bolshevik Party.
The Publishing House “Parus” Created by Gorky
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Nikitin Evgenii N.
Published: May 2024

The article presents M. Gorky’s path to the creation of his own publishing house. The publishing house, called “Parus,” was organized by the writer in 1915. A.N. Tikhonov and I.P. Ladyzhnikov helped him in this. Later Z.I. Grzhebin joined the work of the publishing house. In the published literature, even fiction, preference was given to anti-war works — for example, such as the poem by V.V. Mayakovsky “War and Peace” and the novel by G.J. Wells “Mr. Britling and the War.”Of the journalistic publications, it should be noted the series received in Gorky’s correspondence the title “Europe before and during the war.” It includes books published in 1918, namely L. Vladimirova “War and the Balkans,” M.N. Pokrovsky (with the participation of A. Lozovsky) “France before and during the war,” I.M. Kheraskovo “England before and during the war.” In addition to books, “Parus” published the magazine “Letopis’” and the newspaper “Novaia Zhizn’.” From the pages of these periodicals, M. Gorky and his like-minded people called for Russia’s speedy exit from the international carnage that was murderous for it, which eventually led to revolutionary upheavals and civil war. The research was carried out in the framework of the historical-comparative method. The result of the research is the first detailed description of one of the important moments in M. Gorky’s life — the creation by the writer of the publishing house “Parus” and its management.
How can complacency mold managerial decisions? The role of perceptions in strategic decision-making
Authors: Villagrasa Jorge , Escribá-Esteve Alejandro , Donaldson Colin
Published: May 2024

This paper addresses how managers react to attainment discrepancies in their firms’ performance. Scholars have generally argued that only when performance drops below a predetermined aspiration level firms present a search and change behavior in order to fix this dropping performance. In particular, prior research assumes that organizations compare their performance against preset aspiration levels proceeding from their peers’ performance or their own performance in prior years when determining the urgency of engaging in organizational change. However, empirical evidence on this issue is ambiguous and inconclusive. We tackle this puzzle by studying the executives’ complacency (or cognitive interpretations) with objective results of the firm to determine when the company will decide to change and the magnitude of those changes. Using a sample of 137 medium-sized firms, we do find that the combination of objective results with the managerial perception of them, allows us to obtain a better understanding of the performance feedback literature. Thus, organizational change will be (only) enhanced in front of low managerial levels of complacency with organizational results, disregarding the sign of the objective performance feedback obtained by the firm. Moreover, in our research, we go one step further in analyzing several executives’ characteristics that may affect this managerial complacency.
Income Level and Population Aging Impact on Retirement Savings in OECD Countries
Authors: Witkowska Dorota , Kompa Krzysztof
Published: May 2024

Increasing old-dependency ratio has essential impact on pension systems which must be reformed and adjusted to actual demographic situation. Applying linear regression, we look for relationships between retirement savings and levels of incomes and old-age dependency ratios in 36 selected OECD countries. Our findings show that the population aging affects pension assets acccumulation differently in developed and developing countries although pension  assets are increasing in both groups of countries. Concurrently, the regression models let us divide OECD countries into three groups - Countries where the old-age dependency ratio affects per capita investment positively and statistically significant (26 countries), insignificantly (5 countries) and negatively and significant (5 countries).
The Impact of World War II on Accounting and Finance at the Alger-Sullivan Lumber Company in Century, Florida
Authors: White Barbara S.
Published: May 2024

Alger-Sullivan Lumber Company was created in the early 20th century, as two lumber giants pooled their expertise with local lumber resources to create a company and town. The combination was successful, even though the company had reduced operations prior to the start of World War II. The Archives at the University of West Florida contain many historical documents of the Alger-Sullivan Lumber Company, which provide great insight into the financial, accounting, and operational aspects of the company during its over 50 years of existence. Of particular interest are the years during the U.S. involvement in World War II, as the company faced many challenges and opportunities. The research question, “What impact did World War II have on the accounting and financial activities conducted at the company?” is addressed, with documentation to show a greater cost-consciousness, along with more detailed and refined financial reporting, developed during this period.
Valuation Specialists and Value Relevance of Fair Value Measurements: Evidence from International Banks
Authors: Bu Chen , Zhang Yuyu , Yao Daifei
Published: May 2024

This study examines the impact of engaging valuation specialists on the value relevance of Level 3 fair value measurements (FVMs) within the auditing process. Through an analysis of a sample of international commercial banks over the period from 2016 to 2019, this study reveals that both Level 1 and Level 2 FVMs are generally value relevant, regardless of the involvement of valuation specialists in the auditing process. However, the value relevance of Level 3 FVMs appears to be contingent upon the auditor’s utilization of valuation specialists during the audit of these measurements. The findings of this study indicate that, notwithstanding the concerns highlighted in prior research, investors tend to hold the conviction that valuation specialists can make a substantive and positive impact on the auditing process, thereby enhancing the value relevance of Level 3 FVMs.

The Impact of Voluntarily Filing Form 990 on Donations, Government Grants, and Total Contributions
Authors: Hsu Wei , McAllister Brian P.
Published: May 2024

We examine whether voluntary IRS Form 990 filers attract higher donations, government grants, and total contributions. We define voluntary 990 filers as charities eligible to file a Form 990EZ but instead choose to file a more exhaustive 990. The 990 provides incremental financial information, including disclosures about functional expense classifications for administrative and fundraising, charity governing bodies and governance policies, and whether a charity has engaged in an audit. Our strongest evidence shows that total contributions are almost three times higher for charities that choose to voluntarily file a 990 instead of a 990EZ. We also provide limited evidence that voluntary 990 filers are positively associated both with donations and grants as compared to those mandated to file a 990. Our findings are consistent with signaling theory and show that disclosing additional information beyond what is required increases transparency and offers benefits to charities.

Wall Street and Product Quality: The Duality of Analysts
Authors: Li Yinghua , Lin Yupeng , Wang Xiaoqiao , Yang Shijie
Published: May 2024

We investigate the role of financial analysts in product quality failures. Relying on information about product recalls, we first show that analyst coverage on average reduces product quality, particularly when managers face greater short-term pressure from institutional investors. However, after identifying a subgroup of analysts who raise questions on product-related issues in earnings conference calls, we find that coverage by these “product analysts” enhances rather than compromises product quality. Firms with greater product analyst coverage are also more likely to retire low-quality products. Additional analysis demonstrates that product analysts help safeguard product quality by further probing into product-related matters and issuing more timely recommendation downgrades after firms announce product deficiencies.

Published: May 2024

Telemedicine, the provision of remote healthcare, has gained prominence, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. It has the potential to replace routine in-person follow-up visits for patients with chronic inflammatory skin conditions. However, it remains unclear whether telemedicine can effectively substitute in-person consultations for this patient group. This systematic review assessed the effectiveness and safety of telemedicine compared with traditional in-person care for chronic inflammatory skin diseases. A comprehensive search in various databases identified 11 articles, including 5 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and 1 clinical controlled trial (CCT). These studies evaluated telemedicine’s impact on patients with psoriasis and atopic dermatitis, with varying methods like video consultations and digital platforms. The findings tentatively suggest that telemedicine does not seem to be inferior compared with in-person care, particularly in terms of condition severity and quality of life for patients with chronic inflammatory skin diseases. However, these results should be interpreted with caution due to the inherent uncertainties in the evidence. There are indications that telemedicine can offer benefits such as cost-effectiveness, time savings, and reduced travel distances, but it is important to recognize these findings as preliminary, necessitating further validation through more extensive research.

Authors: M Bhuvaneswari , Kavitha R
Published: May 2024

The employee retention is being an emerging concept in the branches of Human Resource Management (HRM). The employee retention concept seems to be expensive and it is not globally adopted by all the pharmaceutical companies. The companies need to be aware of the value of efficient employees and their contribution to the economic growth of the companies. The primary aim of the management should be the employee retention which will enable the companies to reap benefits on the long run. As per various government and association medical representatives’ reports, the employee attrition rates in the pharmaceutical companies are high when compared to various sectors. This will create high level of mismatch between employee demand and supply for the medical representatives. The objective of the research study is to identify the various factors that are influencing the employee retention and also examine the various inter-relationships that exists among those factors. An empirical study is performed to collect the data from the 128 medical representatives in Salem, Tamilnadu, India through self-administered questionnaires method. Convenient sampling technique is adopted. The research performs a quantitative analysis using the SPSS version 23 software package and also determine percentage analysis as well as factor analysis. Structural equation modelling are used to analyse factors such as Monetary Rewards, Work Pressure and Performance and other Perquisites which influences employee retention of pharmaceutical companies. The outcome of the study reveals that there exists a high level of inter-relationship among these factors which have significant impact on the employee retention.

The problem of domestic violence: issues of theory and practice
Authors: Bysaha Yu. M.
Published: May 2024

The article is devoted to the problem of understanding domestic violence in the legal system of the modern state.
Risk factors for domestic and family violence are examined, including individual characteristics, relationship problems, and community and societal influences. Individual factors include the psychological and physical characteristics of victims and perpetrators, which may include problems with emotion regulation, low self-esteem, and childhood trauma. Also, sexual orientation and gender identity can influence the risk of becoming a victim or a perpetrator.
It is reasoned that domestic violence has serious consequences for victims, their families and society as a whole. It can lead to injuries, psychological and emotional problems, destroy relationships, disrupt the development of children and reduce the productivity and efficiency of society.
Domestic violence is becoming a global problem that crosses cultural and geographic boundaries, and the level of its prevalence can vary depending on the socio-cultural and economic context. Also important is the role of economic factors, such as unemployment and economic hardship, which can increase family tension and contribute to violence.
It was also found that at the community level, lack of access to psychological and legal aid services, as well as lack of education about rights and opportunities to leave violent relationships can complicate the situation for victims. In addition, cultural stereotypes and norms that condone or normalize violence may also support this problematic pattern.
At the same time, research must be carried out taking into account the diversity of cultural, social and economic contexts, since approaches to solving the problem may differ depending on specific conditions. Special attention should also be paid to the support of victims of domestic violence, their access to safe places of refuge, legal aid and psychological support. Increasing public awareness and educational initiatives about the issue can also help increase awareness and support in the fight against domestic violence.
Limits of state influence on the economy in times of war in the context of upholding and implementing socio-economic human rights
Authors: Petrunenko Ia. V. , Dzhabrailov R. A.
Published: May 2024

The article emphasizes that the war in Ukraine poses complex challenges to the state, with the need to balance the need to strengthen state regulation of the economy to meet defense needs and preserve the principles of the free market. This balance becomes particularly acute in the context of upholding and implementing socio-economic human rights, which may be restricted in times of war.
The authors investigate the limits of state influence on the economy in wartime, taking into account the need to uphold and implement socio-economic human rights, and also explore various strategies of state intervention in the economy in wartime, such as imposing economic sanctions, stimulating the production of military equipment and providing financial support for humanitarian needs.
The authors propose a comprehensive analysis of the limits and instruments of state influence on the economy in wartime, taking into account the need to uphold and implement socio-economic human rights. It is argued that the limits and instruments of state influence on the economy, which ensure a balance between the needs of defense, market functioning and upholding of socio-economic human rights, should be defined by law. The current situation of the state’s economy is described. The socio-economic perspectives of post-war reconstruction of Ukraine are characterized. Recommendations for improving the mechanisms of state regulation of the economy in times of war are developed. In particular, the author emphasizes that the longer the war lasts, the deeper the economic crisis will become and the more negative the impact on the socio-economic sphere will increase. This is due to numerous factors, such as: destruction of infrastructure; decline in production; loss of jobs; rising prices; and reduced trade.
In view of the significant economic risks, the authors conclude that the political authorities and representatives of civil society should focus their joint efforts on: infrastructure reconstruction; support for small and medium-sized entrepreneurship; social assistance; investments in education and healthcare; and international cooperation.

Authors: Sinmez Cagri Caglar , Aykun Ali İlteriş , Cengiz Remzi Soner
Published: May 2024

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this study was to examine in detail the complaints against veterinarians submitted by pet owners and evaluated by the Turkish Veterinary Medical Association in Türkiye, with the aim to create awareness among Turkish veterinarians about the nature of the complaints and how they might reduce the risk of making medical errors.

SAMPLE

127 files of complaints.

METHODS

A total of 127 written complaints from pet owners filed between January 2012 and December 2021 were analyzed. The pet owners’ complaints were subjected to a conventional content analysis to identify the primary, secondary, and tertiary themes. Each case was evaluated by a 3-level complaint-coding taxonomy. The first level included 3 domains (themes), namely clinical, management, and relationship, while the second level was ordered in a total of 7 subcategories of complaint types. Thereafter, the third-level minor themes were grouped into related subcategories.

RESULTS

From 127 file complaints, 296 specific issues were identified. Of these, 62% were in the clinical domain, 24% in the management domain, and 14% about poor behavior of the attending veterinarians. The most common (43%) complaint was medical errors.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

An increased awareness of common medical errors should be promoted among Turkish veterinarians in order to reduce the risk of negligence and malpractice.

Published: May 2024

The processes involved in the sustainable development goals (SDGs) localization, sustainable rural development (SRD), and the use of public participation to support the achievement of the SDGs have gained importance in recent years. The aim of this article is to analyze the solution created by regional governments in Poland to combine these issues. This paper utilizes a qualitative case study-based approach. Firstly, the analysis of the development strategies of 11 Polish regions was carried out. Further, the analyses of the grant process allowed one to determine the SDG targets, which are associated with individual thematic areas of financing and with specific tasks proposed for implementation by the residents. It may be concluded that the analyzed program targets largely corresponded to the selected SDG targets. Such programs may be used as a tool for supporting the bottom-up diagnosis procedure, in the scope of desired activities supporting the achievement of the SDGs.

Kecamatan Kuta Utara adalah sebuah kecamatan di Kabupaten Badung, Bali, Indonesia, yang terdiri dari 6 (enam) kelurahan, salah satunya adalah Kerobokan Kaja. Penggunaan pekarangan sebagai lahan untuk tanaman hias di Kerobokan Kaja sangat tinggi hingga mencapai 65%. Konsekuensi dari banyaknya tanaman hias ini adalah banyaknya sampah dedaunan yang dihasilkan oleh tanaman di masing-masing rumah. Sampah dedaunan ini bisa digunakan sebagai bahan dasar kompos. Dedaunan ini perlu dicacah dengan tujuan untuk memperluas bidang kontaknya, sehingga proses dekomposisi akan semakin cepat terjadi. Oleh karena itu perlu dibuatkan mesin pencacah sampah organik skala rumah tangga. Adapun selain mempercepat proses dekomposisi, mesin pencacah ini juga mereduksi volume sampah organik terutama dedaunan hingga 60%. Dengan adanya alat pencacah sampah organik ini, diharapkan dapat mengurangi volume sampah yang membebani Tempat Pemrosesan Akhir (TPA).

Study of Parasitary Fauna in Tilapia of Fish Cultures in the Distrito Federal
Authors: Caldas Bruna Maria da Silva , Navarro Rodrigo Diana
Published: May 2024

Objective: This article discusses the parasitic fauna found in tilapia, the most produced in the DF, collected in fish farms and presents an analysis of water quality, a relative condition factor and the influence of seasonality on the average abundance of parasites.
 
Methodology: For each acquisition campaign, ten fish were collected from each visited fish farm, totaling 180 sampled fish. The fish were collected by fishing nets with mesh 14 and transported in thermal boxes, with each specimen properly packed in a plastic bag, to ensure protection during transport to the Aquaculture Laboratory of the University of Brasília (AcquaUnB).
 
Results and Conclusion: In the two acquisition campaigns, parasitism by Trichodina sp., Monogenoids, Ichthyophthirius multifiliis and Apiosoma sp. Infestations by Trichodina sp. presented higher prevalence and average intensity than other parasites in general, followed by infections by Monogenoides, Ichthyophthirius multifiliis and Apiosoma sp, respectively. The average abundance of Trichodina sp., monogenenoids, Ichthyophthirius multifiliis and Apiosoma sp. showed a positive correlation with temperature and the concentration of ammonium and phosphate in fish farm water. On the other hand, the average abundance of parasites showed a negative correlation with the levels of dissolved oxygen and nitrate concentration. The ectoparasites found do not directly affect human health. There was a significant difference between the average abundance of parasites found in fish collected in the months of February and August, so that the highest parasitic rates were observed in February, when there is greater rainfall in the Federal District and when the values of water parameters were findings. less suitable.

The Critical Analysis of the Viability of Cosmopolitan Democracy in the 21st Century: Cosmopolitanism, the Present and the Future
Authors: Funom Theophilus Makama
Published: May 2024

This review aims to critically analyse the concept of cosmopolitanism as applicable to global democracy. It firstly questions the viability of cosmopolitan democracy from the practicality of this concept on a pragmatic, rather than an idealistic lens, to its 'world state' concept where a decentralised system of governance is sustained by various decision-making sources whilst honouring states with some level of national autonomy. Issues raised, such as distributive justice, coercion and partiality, the cosmopolitan conceptual legitimacy at a global level, citizenship, reciprocity and sovereignty, oppose the legitimacy and practicality of this concept, giving statists, sovereigntists, nationalists and other sceptics of the cosmopolitan Agenda reasons to question this ideology. The second part of this review aims to answer these questions, explaining how this concept practically fits into today's global society as an effective form of global governance. The Moderate-Moral Cosmopolitan ideology will be used to critically address the issues of military interventions: the legality of human rights, the preference for transnational laws over international laws in the propagation of cosmopolitan rights and the role of expert bodies in ensuring that the enforcement of these rights whilst spreading cosmopolitan democracy is effective.
Theoretical Evaluation of Radii of Atoms in Molecules and their Dependence on Atomic Partial Charge
Authors: Alibakhshi Amin , Schäfer Lars V.
Published: May 2024

Quantification of radii of atoms in molecules is of fundamental importance in understanding a wide range of physical and chemical phenomena. In the present study, we develop methods for evaluation of radii of atoms in molecules and assess their robustness by studying the agreement of van der Waals and solvent excluded surfaces constructed by them with reference iso-density surfaces. By studying a large dataset of 1235 molecules, we show that estimation of atomic radii via effective and free atomic volumes can accurately take the dependence of atomic radii on the chemical environment into account. A linear dependence of atomic radii on partial charge is found for radii estimated via effective volumes and partial charges computed based on iterative Hirshfeld and MBIS partitioning methods.
Parameterization of a Fluctuating Charge Model for Complexes Containing 3d Transition Metals
Authors: Landry Luke , Li Pengfei
Published: May 2024

Metalloproteins widely exist in biology, playing pivotal roles in diverse life processes. Meanwhile, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, which are driven by classical force fields, have emerged as indispensable tools in scientific research. Among the critical parameters within classical force fields are partial charges, which are traditionally derived from quantum mechanical (QM) calculations. However, QM calculations are often time-insensitive and prone to basis set dependence. Alternatively, fluctuating charge (FQ) models offer a promising avenue for partial charge derivation, boasting significant speed advantages conducive to large-scale screening. Building upon our previous work, which tailored an FQ model for zinc-containing complexes, we have extended this model to include additional 3d transition metals integral to the life sciences, namely chromium, manganese, iron, cobalt, and nickel. Employing CM5 charges as reference points for parameterization, our FQ model accurately reproduces partial charges for 3d metal complexes featuring biologically relevant ligands. Furthermore, by using atomic charges derived by our FQ model, MD simulations have been performed, and the results show excellent performance in simulating proteomic metal sites housing multiple metal ions. Specifically, our simulations accurately capture the behavior of a metalloprotein containing an iron-sulfur cluster and another containing a di-manganese metal site. These results showcase comparable performance to those of RESP charges. We anticipate that our study can accelerate the parameterization of atomic charges, thereby facilitating simulations of metalloproteins featuring 3d transition metals.

Non-trivial relationships link individual materials properties to device-level performance. Device optimisation therefore calls for new automation approaches beyond the laboratory bench with tight integration of different research methods. We demonstrate a Materials Acceleration Platform (MAP) in the field of battery research based on our problem-agnostic Fast Intentional Agnostic Learning Server (FINALES) framework, which integrates simulations and physical experiments without centrally controlling them. The connected capabilities entail the formulation and characterisation of electrolytes, cell assembly and testing, early lifetime prediction, and ontology-mapped data storage provided by institutions distributed across Europe. The infrastructure is used to optimise the ionic conductivity of electrolytes and the End Of Life (EOL) of lithium-ion coin cells by varying the electrolyte formulation. We rediscover trends in ionic conductivity and investigate the effect of the electrolyte formulation on the EOL. We further demonstrate the capability of our MAP to bridge diverse research modalities, scales, and institutions enabling system-level investigations under asynchronous conditions while handling concurrent workflows on the material- and system-level, demonstrating true intention-agnosticism.
