NORMATIZAÇÃO E EXPERIÊNCIA DISCRIMINATÓRIA: ANÁLISE DA CIDADANIA PRECÁRIA LGBTQIA+
Authors: Camacho Soares Mateus , Viana Leão Ingrid
Published: August 2023

Este artigo analisa as práticas discriminatórias contra a população LGBTQIA+ sob a perspectiva do conceito de necropolítica, bem como na leitura sobre cidadania precária compreendendo que a homo-lesbo-transfobia é parte de um projeto resultante do desprezo e do preconceito social, mas que sempre foi estimulado por forças do Estado. Isto corroborou para que a condição de ser LGBTQIA+ sempre foi objeto de perseguições e violências e que, ao longo da história brasileira. Essas pessoas, com base em orientação sexual e identidade de gênero, não só foram consideradas não detentoras de direitos como tinham as suas existências questionadas. Para este estudo, foi realizado um levantamento sobre compilações jurídicas e dispositivos de leis que regem o Brasil desde o Período Colonial para assim evidenciar que o Estado brasileiro sempre agiu a favor de um país hetero-cisnormativo.

POLÍTICA PREFIGURATIVA, CATÁSTROFE E ESPERANÇA
Authors: Gordon Uri
Published: August 2023

A “política prefigurativa” tornou-se um termo comum para o ethos radical da unidade entremeios e fins. Nesta prática ética revolucionária, principalmente devido à tradição anarquista, a lutacontra a dominação está ligada à construção imediata de alternat ivas sociais. Menos atenção tem sidodada à maneira peculiar de imaginar o tempo que esse conceito invoca. Este artigo mostra como oconceito de “prefiguração” se baseia em um enquadramento temporal específico, inconscientementeextraído da teologia cristã, em que se pensa que o futuro irradia para trás em seu passado. Traçandoa prefiguração dos Padres da Igreja a ressurgimentos politizados nos Diggers e na Nova Esquerda,argumento que esse enquadramento temporal está de fato conectado a um “processo de re afirmação”mental, comum entre muitos revolucionários que extraíram confiança da noção de que estavampercebendo um caminho histórico pré-ordenado.
Sindicalismo e Anarquismo: a perspectiva goldminiana em foco
Authors: Martins Nilciana Alves
Published: August 2023

O presente artigo tem como objetivo principal compreender como o sindicalismo, enquanto estratégia, se relaciona com o anarquismo dentro da perspectiva goldminiana. Para cumprir tal tarefa, analisaremos o artigo “Syndicalism: It’s Theory and Practice”, escrito por Emma Goldman em 1913. E, buscando evidenciar a pluralidade de pensamento existente dentro da teoria anarquista, iremos comparar o pensamento de Goldman sobre essa questão com a de Pierre Monatte (1881-1960) e Errico Malatesta (1853-1932), refletindo assim sobre as aproximações e os distanciamentos existentes entre os três pensadores.

Authors: Gonzaga Paula Rita Bacellar , Labarrere Mariane Guimarães
Published: August 2023

A psicologia comunitária surge como a psicologia da transformação social, tendo um compromisso inalienável com as maiorias populares e os movimentos sociais. É a partir desse campo que construímos uma experiência de práxis junto à ColetivA Mulheres da Quebrada, sediada no Aglomerado da Serra na cidade de Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. Aliando o instrumental teórico-metodológico do feminismo negro às premissas da psicologia comunitária estabelecemos uma atuação orientada pela dialogia horizontal entre os saberes, compreendendo o protagonismo das lideranças comunitárias, mulheres negras e organizadas politicamente em prol da promoção de saúde e cuidado no seu território. Nesse trabalho discorremos sobre essa experiência a partir de quatro oficinas voltadas para a promoção de saúde sexual e saúde reprodutiva junto às mulheres moradoras do Aglomerado da Serra, analisando os relatos de violência interpessoal e institucional, as articulações estabelecidas com a rede de políticas públicas para garantia de direitos e o fortalecimento do espaço da ColetivA como promotor de acolhimento e de afirmação política.

NETRALITAS PEGAWAI NEGERI SIPIL PASCA TERBITNYA PERATURAN PEMERINTAH NOMOR 94 TAHUN 2021 TENTANG DISIPLIN PNS
Authors: SYAEFUDIN ROCHMAT ALI , SUSENO WAHYU HANGGORO , SUBIYANTO NANANG
Published: August 2023

ABSTRAK. Netralitas Aparatur Sipil Negara (ASN) di Indonesia merupakan problem laten dan kompleks. Pelayanan publik dan demokrasi akan terganggu apabila birokrasi tidak netral. Salah satu penyebab keberpihakan ASN dalam pemilihan umum/pemilihan kepala daerah karena kepentingan karier. Faktor penyebab pelanggaran netralitas ASN diantaranya kurangnya pengawasan dan rendahnya sanksi terhadap pelanggar. Terbitnya Peraturan Pemerintah (PP) Nomor 94 Tahun 2021 tentang Disiplin Pegawai Negeri Sipil (PNS) telah memberikan dukungan dalam penegakan netralitas PNS. PP Nomor 94 Tahun 2021 mengatur lebih rinci larangan bagi PNS terkait netralitas dalam pemilihan umum maupun pemilihan kepala daerah, terutama yang sebelumnya tidak diatur dalam  PP Nomor 53 Tahun 2010.

Abstract. The neutrality of the State Civil Apparatus (ASN) in Indonesia is a latent and complex problem. Public service and democracy will be disturbed if the bureaucracy is not neutral. One of the causes of ASN's alignment in the general election/regional head election is due to career interests. The factors that cause violations of ASN neutrality include lack of supervision and low sanctions against violators. The issuance of Government Regulation (PP) Number 94/2021 concerning Discipline of Civil Servants (PNS) has provided support in the enforcement of the neutrality of civil servants. PP Number 94/2021 regulates in more detail the prohibition for civil servants related to neutrality in general elections and regional head elections, especially those that were not previously regulated in Government Regulation Number 53/2010.
PERMASALAHAN PENERAPAN KAMUS KOMPETENSI MANAJERIAL DAN SOSIAL KULTURAL PERMENPAN RB NOMOR 38 TAHUN 2017 DALAM MENILAI KOMPETENSI PEJABAT FUNGSIONAL TERTENTU
Authors: Aman Lusius
Published: August 2023

ABSTRAK

Ketentuan yang mewajibkan penggunaan kamus kompetensi manajerial dan sosial kultural Permenpan RB Nomor 38 Tahun 2017 dalam penilaian kompetensi terhadap semua ASN pada semua jenis jabatan ternyata menemukan permasalahan tersendiri dalam penerapannya, terutama dalam penilaian bagi jabatan fungsional tertentu. Permasalahan tersebut mencakup akurasi standar kompetensi dan reliabilitas hasil penilaian dan masalah keadilan dalam menilai.

Setelah ditelisik, ternyata deskripsi kompetensi dan indikator perilaku kompetensi manajerial dan sosial kultural dalam kamus kompetensi manajerial dan sosial kultural berdasarkan Permenpan RB Nomor 38 Tahun 2017 kurang sesuai dengan uraian tugas beberapa JFT seperti Analis Kepegawaian, Pranata Komputer, Arsiparis dan Widyaiswara, dengan demikian kurang adil untuk menilai para pejabat fungsional tersebut. Ditemukan bahwa semakin tinggi jenjang jabatan fungsionalnya, semakin banyak pula aspek standar kompetensi yang tidak sesuai uraian tugas JFT. Kamus kompetensi tersebut lebih tepat digunakan untuk menilai kompetensi para pejabat struktural yang memiliki bawahan, dibandingkan bila dipakai untuk menilai pejabat fungsional tertentu yang tidak memiliki bawahan.

Temuan ini menjadi semakin meyakinkan ketika dikomparasikan dengan hasil penilaian menggunakan kamus kompetensi yang lain. Hasil studi kasus menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan kamus kompetensi manajerial sesuai Peraturan Kepala BKN Nomor 7 Tahun 2013 dalam menilai kompetensi JFT yang menggunakan ternyata lebih relevan, valid, akurat dan lebih memuaskan.

Authors: Adinegoro Kurnia Rheza Randy
Published: August 2023

Penerapan Knowledge Management System (KMS) saat ini sangat dibutuhkan, salah satunya dalam dunia birokrasi. ASN sebagai komponen kunci birokrasi pemerintahan membutuhkan wadah untuk berbagi pengalaman berupa pengetahuan tacit. Penanggung jawab bidang administrasi dan teknis masing-masing lembaga tentunya memiliki pengalaman dan pengetahuan yang berbeda-beda, yang memungkinkan mereka untuk memperluas pengetahuan ASN mereka sehingga pertukaran inovasi yang ingin ASN ciptakan atau kembangkan dapat memajukan intitusinya. Namun faktanya di pemerintahan, sharing culture mengenai pengetahuan masih belum terlaksana dengan baik. Kondisi ini mencerminkan bahwa kondisi manajemen knowledge di pemerintahan belum terkonsep maksimal sehingga belum saling memberikan manfaat positif antar sesama ASN. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengetahui mengenai KMS yang dapat menjadi media solusi alternatif berbagi tacit knowledge antar ASN. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah dapat diketahui bahwa KMS adalah salah satu solusi alternatif sebagai media untuk berbagi tacit knowledge.
URGENSI ASAS NETRALITAS APARATUR SIPIL NEGARA DALAM PEMILIHAN UMUM DITINJAU DARI UNDANG-UNDANG NOMOR 5 TAHUN 2014 TENTANG APARATUR SIPIL NEGARA
Authors: Saputra Deni Jaya
Published: August 2023

Partisipasi politik dalam negara demokrasi merupakan indikator implementasi penyelenggaraan kekuasaaan negara tertinggi yang absah oleh rakyat. Akan tetapi, tidak semua rakyat bisa berpartisipasi secara langsung dalam politik praktis dengan cara berpihak terhadap salah satu calon, menjadi tim sukses dan mengikuti setiap kegiatan kampanye. Rakyat dalam konteks ini adalah Aparatur Sipil Negara (ASN) yang diharuskan bersikap netral. Urgensi asas netralitas ASN dalam pemilu, yaitu: a. Independensi ASN terjaga sehingga ASN terbebas dari tekanan pemangku kebijakan di luar konteks kinerja; b. ASN terbebas dari politik balas budi; c. ASN fokus mengembangkan kompetensinya untuk mendapatkan promosi jabatan; d. Asas netralitas dapat meminimalisir korupsi, kolusi dan nepotisme dalam tubuh ASN; dan e. ASN mampu menjadi abdi negara yang profesional dalam pelayanan publik. Selain itu, manajemen ASN dilengkapi dengan sistem merit melalui kebijakan dan manajemen ASN yang didasarkan pada kualifikasi, kompetensi, dan kinerja secara adil dan wajar. Penerapan sistem merit relatif efektif untuk mewujudkan the right man of the  right place sehingga menimalisir nepotisme.

Object representation in a gravitational reference frame
Authors: Emonds Alexandriya MX , Srinath Ramanujan , Nielsen Kristina J , Connor Charles E
Published: August 2023

When your head tilts laterally, as in sports, reaching, and resting, your eyes counterrotate less than 20%, and thus eye images rotate, over a total range of about 180°. Yet, the world appears stable and vision remains normal. We discovered a neural strategy for rotational stability in anterior inferotemporal cortex (IT), the final stage of object vision in primates. We measured object orientation tuning of IT neurons in macaque monkeys tilted +25 and –25° laterally, producing ~40° difference in retinal image orientation. Among IT neurons with consistent object orientation tuning, 63% remained stable with respect to gravity across tilts. Gravitational tuning depended on vestibular/somatosensory but also visual cues, consistent with previous evidence that IT processes scene cues for gravity’s orientation. In addition to stability across image rotations, an internal gravitational reference frame is important for physical understanding of a world where object position, posture, structure, shape, movement, and behavior interact critically with gravity.

Published: August 2023

FAM76B has been reported to be a nuclear speckle-localized protein with unknown function. In this study, FAM76B was first demonstrated to inhibit the NF-κB-mediated inflammatory pathway by affecting the translocation of hnRNPA2B1 in vitro. We further showed that FAM76B suppressed inflammation in vivo using a traumatic brain injury (TBI) mouse model. Lastly, FAM76B was shown to interact with hnRNPA2B1 in human tissues taken from patients with acute, organizing, and chronic TBI, and with different neurodegenerative diseases. The results suggested that FAM76B mediated neuroinflammation via influencing the translocation of hnRNPA2B1 in vivo during TBI repair and neurodegenerative diseases. In summary, we for the first time demonstrated the role of FAM76B in regulating inflammation and further showed that FAM76B could regulate the NF-κB-mediated inflammatory pathway by affecting hnRNPA2B1 translocation, which provides new information for studying the mechanism of inflammation regulation.

Authors: Sankeshwari Banashree , Passanha Divya , Pattanshetti Channaveer , Adaki Raghavendra , Huddar Dayanand
Published: August 2023

Introduction: The novel Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) spreads through respiratory droplets, and various strategies have been developed to reduce its spread. One of these strategies is the use of oral rinses, such as chlorhexidine, povidone iodine, and hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ), to reduce the viral load. However, while these rinses have advantages in preventing the spread of the virus, they may also have adverse effects on restorative materials in the oral cavity, particularly dental ceramics. The usage of mouthwashes during the pandemic may affect the surface roughness of dental ceramics, leading to plaque accumulation. Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the surface roughness of ceramics after immersion in different oral rinses for seven, 15, and 30 days. Materials and Methods: An in vitro study was conducted in the Department of Prosthodontics at Bharati Vidyapeeth Dental College and Hospital, Sangli, Maharashtra, India. The study was conducted over a period of four months, from October 2021 to January 2022. A total of 51 specimens of dental ceramics were fabricated using a mold with dimensions of 10 mm diameter x 2 mm height. These specimens were randomly divided into three groups based on the immersion solution: distilled water, hydrogen peroxide, and povidone iodine. Each immersion cycle lasted for one minute, and the immersion was performed for 30 days. Surface analysis was carried out using a Surftester at intervals of seven, 15, and 30 days. The data were statistically analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26.0. Intergroup comparison (>2 groups) was performed using the Kruskall-Wallis test, and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) followed by pairwise comparison using the Mann-Whitney U test. A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The mean values of surface roughness for povidone iodine were 0.641, 1.569, 2.5047, and 3.4447 at 0, seven, 15, and 30 days, respectively. The mean values of surface roughness for hydrogen peroxide were 0.681, 2.360, 4.0324, and 5.7035 at 0, seven, 15, and 30 days, respectively. The mean values of surface roughness for distilled water were 0.747, 0.994, 1.3312, and 1.6088 at 0, seven, 15, and 30 days, respectively. Conclusion: The surface roughness of ceramics was significantly higher with the use of hydrogen peroxide as a mouthwash, with mean values of 0.681, 2.360, 4.0324, and 5.7035 at 0, seven, 15, and 30 days, respectively, compared to povidone iodine and distilled water. Povidone iodine can be used as a prophylactic oral rinse compared to hydrogen peroxide.
Cell Block versus Cytospin in the Detection of Malignancy in Body Fluids: A Cross-sectional Study
Authors: Mashru Denish , Nisal Amit , Lakhe Rachana , Mulay Smita , Nimbargi Ravindra
Published: August 2023

Introduction: Cytological examination of body fluids is a commonly performed investigation that provides information about inflammatory and malignant lesions, aiding in the diagnosis of effusion aetiology and potential differential diagnoses. The cell block technique, combined with cytospin study, offers an additional advantage in such cases. Aim: To compare the diagnostic utility of cell block method and cytospin method in detecting malignancy in body fluids. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional observational study was conducted for a period of two years at Bharati Vidyapeeth (DTU) Medical College Hospital and Research Centre in Pune, Maharashtra, India. A total of 100 body fluid samples were analysed, including 73 pleural fluids, 24 ascitic fluids, and 3 pericardial fluids. Each fluid sample was divided into two equal parts: one processed for cytospin (CYTOTEK), and the other processed to create a cell block. Four Immunohistochemistry (IHC) markers (Thyroid Transcription Factor-1 (TTF-1), Cytokeratin 7 (CK7), Cytokeratin 20 (CK20), and Calretinin) were applied as needed. Data analysis was performed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25.0, and results were calculated using the Chi-square test. Results: Of the total 100 fluid samples, 65 were negative, 17 were positive, and 18 were suspicious for malignancy using the cytospin method. In comparison, the cell block method identified 63 samples as negative, 29 as positive, and 8 as suspicious for malignancy. The cell block method exhibited a higher sensitivity (100.00%) and specificity (94.03%) than the cytospin method (81.82% and 88.06%, respectively) in this study. Conclusion: Cell block method accurately diagnosed 10 cases as positive for malignancy that were initially deemed suspicious on cytospin smear. Therefore, the cell block method proved to be a superior diagnostic tool for malignancy compared to cytospin smear. Given that cell blocks allow for longer storage and additional analysis such as IHC and microarray, they should be adopted in addition to cytospin for effusion cytology

Authors: Martina Ngwu Amauche
Published: August 2023

Background: Red blood cell changes are one of the most common complications in malaria and they play a very crucial role in malaria pathogenesis. Malaria infections are one of the common causes of maternal anaemia especially during pregnancy. The aim of this study was to determine red cell indices of pregnant women with asymptomatic malaria.

Place and Duration of Study: Department of Haematology and Antenatal Unit both of Enugu State University of Science and Technology Teaching Hospital, between June and September 2022.

Methodology: The study population consisted of 90 pregnant women (65 pregnant women positive to malaria parasite without symptoms and 25 pregnant women negative to malaria parasite) and 26 control non-pregnant women. For the whole study population, red cell indices which include hemoglobin (HGB), packed cell volume (PCV), red blood cell count (RBC), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), red cell distribution width standard deviation (RDW-SD), red cell distribution width coefficient of variation (RDW-CV) were measured by automated haematology analyzer.

Results: In the asymptomatic malaria group (AMG), 21 (32.3%) had mild anaemia (HGB level 9.0-10.0 g/dl), 11 (16.9%) had moderate anaemia (HGB level 7.0-8.0 g/dl) and 2 (3.1%) had severe anaemia (HGB level <7.0 g/dl). Also in AMG group, the RDW-SD was 54.22 +/- 11.45 fl, whereas in control group it was 48.75 +/- 10.24 fl (p=0.002). Again in the AMG group the MCHC of those that had two pluses was 318.03 +/- 16.31 g/l, whereas in those that had one plus, it was 309 +/- 20.17 g/l. The comparison between the first, second and third trimester showed significant decrease in HGB (7.63 +/- 1.36 vs 11.64 +/- 0.72 g/dl) and PCV (26.98 +/- 5.14 vs 36.20 +/- 2.19 %) in third trimester compared to first trimester (p= <0.001, <0.001). whereas RDW-CV (18.96 +/- 5.04 vs 15.00 +/- 2.64 %) and RDW-SD (59.04 +/- 15.19 vs 49.16+/- 7.00 fl) (p= 0.002, 0.003) significantly increased in third trimester compared to first trimester

Conclusion: This study found anaemia in asymptomatic malaria infected pregnant women, significant decrease in haemoglobin and packed cell volume at third trimester, higher MCHC in those with two pluses of malaria and significant increase in red cell distribution width at third trimester.

Authors: Lukumay Dickson , Rwegoshora Hosea , Mtae Harrieth
Published: August 2023

This study intended to examine the challenges associated with community awareness on children rights and the rate at which child sexual assault in Tanzania has been increasing. A cross section research design was deployed. The target population was children aged between 10 to 17 years old from both primary and secondary schools in three districts of Arusha region. The sample size was 299 respondents. The study applied a mixture of quantitative and qualitative approach in order to complement to one another and implication of some data in situations. In addition the researcher approached the study on social work perspective. The data was analyzed by using descriptive and correlation measurements and themes for qualitative information. The findings of the study revealed that, there is negative correlation between community awareness on children rights and increasing/decreasing rate of child sexual assault by (r=0114). Further, a negative correlation between community awareness on children rights and frequent reporting of incidences to authorizes by(r= -0.361). Furthermore, the majority of the community members do not respond to child sexual assault collectively, instead, response is on family/individual bases. The study concludes that, there is inadequate level of community awareness on children rights and effects of child sexual assault in the communities. The planned interventions to end Violence against Women and Children, lacks financial and structural commitments. The study further recommends a review of National Plan of Action to End - Violence against Women and Children (NPA-VAWC) to improve the structure and commit adequate resources for effective implementation.

Importance

A true revolution in the management of advanced genitourinary cancers has occurred with the discovery and adoption of immunotherapy (IO). The therapeutic benefits of IO were recently observed not to be solely confined to patients with disseminated disease but also in select patients with localized and locally advanced genitourinary neoplasms.

Observations

KEYNOTE-057 demonstrated the benefit of pembrolizumab monotherapy for treating high-risk nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer unresponsive to bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), resulting in recent US Food and Drug Administration approval. Furthermore, a current phase 3 trial (Checkmate274) demonstrated a disease-free survival benefit with the administration of adjuvant nivolumab vs placebo in muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma after radical cystectomy. In addition, the recent highly publicized phase 3 KEYNOTE 564 trial demonstrated a recurrence-free survival benefit of adjuvant pembrolizumab in patients with high-risk localized/locally advanced kidney cancer.

Conclusions and Relevance

The adoption and integration of IO in the management of localized genitourinary cancers exhibiting aggressive phenotypes are becoming an emerging therapeutic paradigm. Clinical oncologists and scientists should become familiar with these trials and indications because they are likely to dramatically change our treatment strategies in the months and years to come.

Reliability‐based robust design optimization for building‐connecting inertial mass damper
Authors: Murase Mitsuru , Takewaki Izuru
Published: August 2023

This paper proposes an accurate and efficient reliability evaluation method for robust design optimization using a probabilistic approach. First, the validity of this method is verified using two benchmark functions. This method is then applied to the robust design optimization problem of building‐connecting damper parameters, and the effect of robust design is verified. The variation in the natural period and structural damping ratio of buildings is considered, and the criteria satisfaction rate (CSR) are directly evaluated using the response value calculated by time history response analysis.
On the Nature of Post‐Constrained Recovery Residual Stress of NiTi Shape Memory Alloys
Authors: Haider Muhammad Istiaque , Salowitz Nathan
Published: August 2023

In this article, the nature of the post‐constrained recovery residual stress (PCRRS) observed in nickel titanium (NiTi) shape memory alloys (SMAs) subjected to constrained recovery and returned to a low‐temperature state while remaining constrained is investigated. After performing the thermomechanical cycling to produce the PCRRS state, four experiments are performed with different deflection profiles applied from the PCRRS state, and the changes in the residual stress is observed. All tests produce a gradual decrease in stress after every load cycle, similar to cyclic softening. However, repetition of the process used to initially generate PCRRS restores the initial magnitude of the PCRRS, indicating that the decrease in residual stress is a stable, repeatable, and reversible phenomenon, and not true material degradation. To better understand the nature of PCRRS, an analysis is performed comparing the modulus relating stress and strain at different points along the thermomechanical loading path. In this analysis, it is shown that NiTi has a combination of twinned and detwinned martensite in the PCRRS state. Understanding the nature of PCRRS, properties and its stability have the potential for advanced engineering applications such as self‐healing and fatigue‐resistant materials by generating stresses without continuous actuation over a long period of time.
Mesh Layer Jamming to Cover and Secure Curved Surfaces without Wrinkles
Authors: Mitsuda Takashi , Tanaka Hareruya
Published: August 2023

Layer jamming technologies, which can alter the stiffness of layered sheets enveloped in an elastic bag via internal vacuum pressure, have typically been used for wearable robots. However, wrinkles on the layer jamming element covering the body impair the feeling of wear and are undesirable. Aligning curved surfaces using sheets without wrinkling requires the sheets to be sufficiently elastic, which reduces the stiffness when used for layer jamming. Mesh sheets (i.e., woven fabrics) cannot elongate along the fibers; however, they can elongate and contract in the diagonal direction by changing their shape. This study proposes using mesh sheets for layer jamming and analytically and experimentally demonstrates their ability to fit curved surfaces without wrinkling. The layer jamming element using mesh sheets changes the bending stiffness in proportion to the internal vacuum pressure and the number of sheets, as in conventional layer jamming. The simple structure and flexibility of the mesh layer jamming are not only suitable for fixing a body or fragile objects but also extend the range of applications using layer jamming technologies. This study also provides a foundation for investigating the wrinkle formation associated with curved surface deformation unique to flexible robots.

Published: August 2023

The sluggish sulfur reaction kinetics and fast capacity attenuation still pose great challenges to lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries. Herein, tubular carbonl (HPOC) is obtained by carbonization of the cattail fiber. 1T‐WS2@HPOC is prepared by solvothermal method, and their sulfur composite, 1T‐WS2@HPOC/S and HPOC/S as sulfur host composite, is obtained by sulfur melting. The composite materials are characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X‐ray diffraction, thermogravimetry, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, etc. Results show that 1T‐WS2 grows uniformly on the HPOC substrate and has abundant active sites, which can effectively improve the physicochemical adsorption capacity of S‐fixation (76 wt%) and polysulfide. Battery assembly and electrochemical performance tests are conducted for the HPOC/S and 1T‐WS2@HPOC/S composites. Results show that the initial discharge capacity of the 1T‐WS2@HPOC/S positive electrode is 1272 mAh g−1 at 0.1 C, higher than the HPOC/S positive electrode (1025 mAh g−1). 1T‐WS2@HPOC/S maintains a discharge capacity of 695 mAh g−1 after 500 cycles at 0.5 C, with a capacity decay rate of only 0.054% per cycle. With a discharge capacity of 504 mAh g−1 after 400 cycles at 1 C, the Coulomb efficiency is 98.9%. The 1T‐WS2@HPOC/S composites with unique structure and excellent electrochemical performance have broad application prospects in the field of Li–S batteries.
Machine Learning‐Informed Predictive Design and Analysis of Electrohydrodynamic Printing Systems

Published: August 2023

Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) processes are promising techniques for manufacturing nanoscopic products with different shapes (such as thin films, nanofibers, 2D/3D nanostructures, and nanoparticles) and materials at a low cost using simple equipment. A key challenge in their adoption by nonexperts is the requirement of enormous time and resources in identifying the optimum design/process parameters for the underlying material and EHD system. Machine learning (ML) has made exciting advancements in predictive modeling of different processes, provided it is trained on high‐quality datasets at appropriate volumes. This article extends the suitability of such ML‐enabled approaches to a new technological domain of EHD spraying and drop‐on‐demand printing. Different ML models like ridge regression, random forest regression, support vector regression, gradient boosting regression, and multilayer perceptron are trained and their performance using evaluation metrics like RMSE and R2_score is examined. Tree‐based algorithms like gradient boosting regression are found to be the most suitable technique for modeling EHD processes. The trained ML models show substantially higher accuracy (average error < 5%) in replicating these nonlinear processes as compared to previously reported scaling laws (average error ≈ 42%) and are well suited for predictive modeling/analysis of the underlying EHD system and process.
