Ultrafast Dynamics of Different Phase States Ge2Sb2Te5 Film Induced by a Femtosecond Laser Pulse Irradiation
Authors: Wu Hao , Han Weina , Zhang Xiaobin
Published: September 2022

A femtosecond laser could realize a high transition rate of the phase change material (PCM), and the properties of the amorphous and the crystalline Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) induced by a femtosecond laser were studied, which was one of the candidates among the PCMs. However, the characteristics of the intermediate phase states in reversible phase transitions were also important and helpful to explore the mechanisms of the phase transitions. In this paper, the ultrafast dynamics of amorphous, crystalline face-centered-cubic (FCC), and hexagonal-close-packed (HCP) states were investigated using a femtosecond laser pulse excitation through a reflective-type pump–probe technique, obtained by annealing at certain temperatures, and verified using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the Raman spectrum. It was found that as the annealing temperature increased, the electron of the GST films could be excited more easily, while the ablation threshold decreased. Due to annealing, the structure of bonding was changed for different phase states, which resulted in the decrease in the band gap of the films. In addition, it was hard for the intermediate state films to transit to the amorphous structure state via the femtosecond laser, and the crystallization would be enhanced, while the crystalline HCP structures of GST could be directly and easily changed to the amorphous state by a pulse, which resulted from the non-thermal phase change caused by the excited electron.

The urgent need to tackle the effects of global warming has led to a worldwide compromise and ever-more demanding regulations. In this respect, as an important greenhouse gas emitter, the cement industry has to implement major changes in its production processes to achieve future goals. In this perspective, low-carbon eco-efficient cement, such as the thermoactivated recycled cement from concrete waste (RCC), seem to be a promising alternative to current carbon-intensive binders, such as ordinary Portland cement (OPC). This study aimed to demonstrate the potential contribution of RCC to the reduction in the environmental impacts of the cement industry, by means of a comparative life cycle assessment of three production methods of this binder (wet (WM), dry (DM) and air clean (ACM) methods) and OPC. Overall, RCC WM did not turn out to be a good alternative to OPC, essentially owing to the amount of fuel and electricity required for washing and drying the particles before the magnetic separation. On the other hand, RCC DM and RCC ACM proved to be promising alternatives to RCC WM and OPC, with a relevant reduction in all impact categories.

The flexible self-powered display system integrating a flexible triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) and flexible alternating current electroluminescence (ACEL) has attracted increasing attention for its promising potential in human–machine interaction applications. In this work, a performance-enhanced MXene/cellulose nanofibril (CNF)/MXene-based TENG (MCM-TENG) is reported for powering a flexible patterned ACEL device in order to realize self-powered display. The MCM multilayer composite film was self-assembled through the layer-by-layer method. The MCM film concurrently acted as a triboelectric layer and electrode layer due to its high conductivity and strength. Moreover, the effect of CNF concentration and number of layers on the output performance of TENG was investigated. It was found that the MCM-TENG realized the optimum output performance. Finally, a flexible self-powered display device was realized by integrating the flexible TENG and ACEL. The MCM-TENG with an output voltage of ≈90 V at a frequency of 2 Hz was found to be efficient enough to power the ACEL device. Therefore, the as-fabricated flexible TENG demonstrates a promising potential in terms of self-powered displays and human–machine interaction.

Published: September 2022

Several studies have been reported on self-healing concrete using bacteria, admixtures, and microcapsules. Among these self-healing techniques, encapsulating cement-based materials is advantageous in that large amounts of self-healing material can be contained in a capsule and released at the cracked site for a targeted reaction. This study produced a powder compacted capsule (PCC) using the droplet and blended manufacturing methods to encapsulate cementitious materials. This study refers to the PCCs as droplet-PCC (D-PCC) and blended-PCC (B-PCC) according to the manufacturing method used. The fluidity, compressive strength, carbonation, drying shrinkage, and water permeability of cement mortar with PCCs were evaluated. The test results show that the flow of the mortar sample using D-PCC was slightly higher than that of the mortar using B-PCC. The compressive strength of the mortar sample with B-PCC was generally higher than that of the mortar sample with D-PCC. The compressive strength of the B-PCC2 sample (with 0.2% of B-PCC) was the highest at all curing ages. This may be because the B-PCC fracture load was higher than that of the D-PCC. In addition, more hydrates were observed in the B-PCC sample than in the D-PCC sample. A crack healing effect was observed in the samples with PCC, regardless of the PCC type. The effect was the greatest in the B-PCC6 sample (with 0.6% of B-PCC). The results of this study provide a reference for the PCC type and mix ratio that would yield the best mechanical properties and crack healing effect.
Preparing for Pregnancy in Women with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus—A Multidisciplinary Approach

Published: September 2022

Pregnancy is one of the most challenging processes the human body is exposed to: the healthy mother can carry to term a genetically different new-born, while her immune system adapts to tolerate this new status and avoids rejection. In autoimmune disorders, motherhood is even more challenging, with additional medical counselling, mother care, and foetus development checks being necessary. While the aspects of supplementary mother care and pregnancy progress tracking are associated with well-established medical procedures and protocols, counselling, be it pre- or post-conception, is still underestimated and scarcely applied. Indeed, over the past decades, medical counselling for this particular population has changed significantly, but from a healthcare’s provider point of view, more is required to ensure a smooth, controllable pregnancy evolution. One of the most frequent autoimmune diseases affecting young females during their fertile years is Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). Like other heterogenous diseases, it exposes the mother to severe, organ-threatening complications and unpredictable evolution. Both the disease and its treatment can significantly affect the mother’s willingness to engage in a potentially risky pregnancy, as well as the likeliness to carry it to term without any impairments. A good collaboration between the patient’s rheumatologist and obstetrician is therefore mandatory in order to: (a) allow the mother to make an informed decision on pursuing with the pregnancy; (b) ensure a perfect synchronization between pregnancy terms and treatment; and (c) avoid or minimize potential complications. The best approach to achieve these outcomes is pregnancy planning. Moreover, knowing one desired prerequisite for a successful pregnancy evolution in SLE mothers is a stable, inactive, quiescent disease for at least six months prior to conception, planning becomes more than a recommended procedure. One particular aspect that requires attention before conception is the treatment scheme applied before delivery as autoantibodies can influence significantly the course of pregnancy. In this view, future SLE mothers should ideally benefit from preconception counselling within their agreed care pathway. A multidisciplinary team including at least the rheumatologist and obstetrician should be employed throughout the pregnancy, to decide on the appropriate timing of conception and compatible medication with respect to disease activity, as well as to monitor organ involvement and foetus development progress.

We report the case of a 34-year-old male patient, a bodybuilding trainer and user of anabolic androgenic steroids (AASs) for 16 years. He was found in cardio-respiratory arrest in his home. By performing a medico-legal autopsy, a severe form of COVID-19, aortic atherosclerotic plaques, and an old myocardial infarction was found. The SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR test on necroptic lung fragments was positive, with a B.1.258 genetic line. The histopathological examinations showed microthrombi with endothelitis in the cerebral tissue, massive pulmonary edema, diffuse alveolar damage grade 1, pulmonary thromboembolism, hepatic peliosis, and severe nesidioblastosis. The immunohistochemical examinations showed SARS-CoV-2 positive in the myocardium, lung, kidneys, and pancreas. ACE-2 receptor was positive in the same organs, but also in the spleen and liver. HLA alleles A*03, A*25, B*18, B*35, C*04, C*12, DRB1*04, DRB1*15, DQB1*03, DQB1*06 were also identified. In conclusion, death was due to a genetic predisposition, a long-term abuse of AASs that favored the development of a pluriorganic pathological tissue terrain, and recent consumption of AASs, which influenced the immune system at the time of infection.

Published: September 2022

In recent years, Japanese quince (Chaenomeles japonica) plantations in Latvia have increased. Interest in breeding Japanese quince is also known in other European countries and Russia. The occurrence and harmfulness of fungal diseases have become increasingly significant. However, there is a lack of overall information in the literature about the diversity of fungi afflicting C. japonica. In our study, we aimed to determine the diversity of fungi associated with C. japonica in Latvia, with the possibility of identifying the fungi that are most characteristically associated with certain parts of the plant. Our research was conducted from 2017 to 2019 in eight Japanese quince plantations in Latvia. Samples of plant parts with disease symptoms were collected. Pure cultures of fungi were obtained and identified using ITS region sequencing. We determined the relative density of identified genera of fungi, which were grouped using hierarchical cluster analysis depending on the plant part from which they were found. Various disease-like symptoms were observed and described. A total of 538 isolates of fungi were obtained that belong to 36 genera and represent different ecological niches. Fusarium, Alternaria, Botrytis, and Sarocladium were the genera most frequently found during our study. The number of identified cases of fungal genera differed depending on the part of the plant from which the fungi were obtained. However, it is not possible to relate a specific genus of fungus to only one certain part of a plant. Further research is needed to clarify the pathogenicity of detected fungi and the composition of species in the detected genera of fungi.

Published: September 2022

This paper presents a detailed analysis of underwater electrical discharge parameters in the treatment of chromium (VI) used as a model pollutant to analyze the reduction process by plasma liquid interaction (PLI). Pin-to-pin microsecond discharges were performed in an aqueous Cr(VI) solution and the processes were characterized using electrical measurements, optical imaging and UV-Vis absorption measurements for [Cr(VI)] estimation. For the first time, the total reduction of Cr(VI) was successfully achieved by PLI process and a maximum energy yield of 4.7 × 10−4 g/kJ was obtained. Parametric studies on electrode geometry, applied voltage, electrodes gap and pulse duration are presented in detail. Finally, an analysis of the process is proposed by comparing our results of the energy yield calculation based on the injected energy with those of the literature and by providing an estimation of the global energy efficiency of the process.

Published: September 2022

Lignocellulose-rich empty fruit bunches (EFBs) have high potential as feedstock for second-generation biofuel and biochemical production without compromising food security. Nevertheless, the major challenge of valorizing lignocellulose-rich EFB is its high pretreatment cost. In this study, the preliminary techno-economic feasibility of expanding an existing pellet production plant into an integrated bio-refinery plant to produce xylitol and bioethanol was investigated as a strategy to diversify the high production cost and leverage the high selling price of biofuel and biochemicals. The EFB feedstock was split into a pellet production stream and a xylitol and bioethanol production stream. Different economic performance metrics were used to compare the profitability at different splitting ratios of xylitol and bioethanol to pellet production. The analysis showed that an EFB splitting ratio below 40% for pellet production was economically feasible. A sensitivity analysis showed that xylitol price had the most significant impact on the economic performance metrics. Another case study on the coproduction of pellet and xylitol versus that of pellet and bioethanol concluded that cellulosic bioethanol production is yet to be market-ready, requiring a minimum selling price above the current market price to be feasible at 16% of the minimum acceptable return rate.
The Impact of Ownership Structure on Corporate Social Responsibility Performance in Vietnam
Authors: Lin Ching-Chung , Nguyen Tran Phuoc
Published: September 2022

In today’s business environment, a debatable concern is increasing on the importance of ownership structure on corporate social responsibility (CSR). With the purpose of clarifying more about this nexus, the study utilizes ownership concentration, managerial ownership, government ownership, and foreign ownership for ownership structure representation and explores their relationship with CSR performance under the Vietnamese companies’ context. Agency theory is employed to explain how the concept is formulated and website information, annual reports and the CSRHub database are where this research is based for data collection. With 65 firms in the analysis at the beginning of October 2019, the empirical findings unveil that managerial and foreign ownership are positively related, while ownership concentration and government ownership are not significantly linked to CSR performance.
The Relationship between Urban Diversity and Residential Segregation
Authors: Pendergrass Robert William
Published: September 2022

Racial diversity was found to be related to racial residential segregation and strongly related to racial isolation within the nation’s metropolitan and micropolitan areas at the block group level. However, the relationships were both complex and dependent on the racial group. Racial diversity was assessed for all 927 metropolitan and micropolitan areas as opposed to just the largest fifty or the largest one hundred. Racial segregation and isolation were assessed at the block group level (excluding water and zero population block groups), not the census tract level, within each metro/micro area. The eight non-overlapping racial groups as defined by the U.S. Census were used. Racial diversity was measured with the Diversity Index (the Simpson Index). Racial residential segregation was measured with the pairwise Dissimilarity Index (D) and the Multigroup Dissimilarity Index (DG) as it was initially proposed using expected frequencies. Racial isolation was measured with the Isolation Index (P*).

Extrapolated Speckle-Correlation Imaging
Authors: Endo Yuto , Tanida Jun , Naruse Makoto , Horisaki Ryoichi
Published: September 2022

Imaging through scattering media is a longstanding issue in a wide range of applications, including biomedicine, security, and astronomy. Speckle-correlation imaging is promising for noninvasively seeing through scattering media by assuming shift invariance of the scattering process called the memory effect. However, the memory effect is known to be severely limited when the medium is thick. Under such a scattering condition, speckle-correlation imaging is not practical because the correlation of the speckle decays, reducing the field of view. To address this problem, we present a method for expanding the field of view of single-shot speckle-correlation imaging by extrapolating the correlation with a limited memory effect. We derive the imaging model under this scattering condition and its inversion for reconstructing the object. Our method simultaneously estimates both the object and the decay of the speckle correlation based on the gradient descent method. We numerically and experimentally demonstrate the proposed method by reconstructing point sources behind scattering media with a limited memory effect. In the demonstrations, our speckle-correlation imaging method with a minimal lensless optical setup realized a larger field of view compared with the conventional one. This study will make techniques for imaging through scattering media more practical in various fields.

Published: September 2022

**Introduction**: The Australian healthcare system, including its management of cutaneous malignancies, has faced unprecedented challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to quantify the impact of the first wave of the pandemic on the diagnoses and management of cutaneous malignancies in Australia.**Methods**: Monthly service data was extracted from the Australian Medicare Benefits Schedule database for all cutaneous biopsies, non-melanotic skin cancer (NMSC) excisions and melanoma excisions performed between January 2017 and December 2019. Holt-Winters exponential smoothing forecasting models were developed for total biopsies, NMSC excisions and melanoma excisions. These models were used to predict monthly data between January 2020 and June 2020 with a 95 per cent confidence interval (p < 0.05). Absolute and percentage residual differences (RDs) between actual and predicted excisions for this time period were calculated.**Results**: There were statistically significant reductions in total NMSC excisions in March 2020 (RD: −6,943, −13.0%), April 2020 (RD: −8,954, −12.2%), May 2020 (RD: −17,667, −20.9%) and June 2020 (RD: −5,152, −6.9%). There were statistically significant reductions in melanoma excisions in April 2020 (RD: –695, –11.1%), May 2020 (RD: −1,982, –28.7%) and June 2020 (RD: –973, –16.0%).**Conclusions**: There was a significant reduction in skin cancer excisions in Australia during the COVID-19 pandemic. This observed reduction in skin cancer surgery has significant public health implications, highlighting the need for improved surveillance, diagnoses and increased treatment capacity of cutaneous malignancies during the recovery phase of the pandemic.
Suprafascial first dorsal metatarsal artery perforator propeller flap: a case report
Authors: Wright Melissa , Harish Varun , Ngo Quan
Published: September 2022

Coverage of distal foot and toe tissue defects is challenging regardless of cause (eg trauma, oncological resection, infection or burn injury). Vascularised locoregional flaps based on the dorsalis pedis artery or first dorsal metatarsal artery (FDMA) are often used for pedal tissue coverage. These flaps, however, sacrifice a major artery to the foot and have significant donor site morbidity owing to skin grafting of the secondary defect. We describe a variation of the traditional reverse FDMA flap; a suprafascial propeller flap based on an FDMA perforator (Figure 1) was used for great toe resurfacing after excision of a locally invasive squamous cell carcinoma. We outline potential advantages of this technique.
Mainstream media discourse around top surgery in Aotearoa New Zealand: a qualitative analysis
Authors: Duncan Rebecca M , Eggleton Charlie
Published: September 2022

**Background**: Gender-affirming breast surgery (colloquially known as ‘top surgery’) can be an important intervention for transgender individuals. Top surgery is also a key component of care for non-binary and gender non-conforming individuals. New Zealand (NZ) secondary care physicians are not aware of all available services, and no studies have investigated public perception of availability and funding of top surgery in NZ.**Method**: To investigate public perception around top surgery in NZ, we analysed the text and comments sections of all relevant NZ news articles over a five-year period, utilising a general inductive thematic analysis approach.**Results**: The analysis resulted in a model of four themes–public funding, [trans] experiences, [trans] issues amenable to intervention and [trans] issues not amenable to intervention.**Conclusion**: The discourse around top surgery in NZ is mixed; some individuals consider top surgery to be an essential medical procedure deserving of public funding, while others describe it as a frivolous cosmetic procedure. The perspectives of transgender individuals clearly communicated a frustration around a lack of funding and transparency in the availability of top surgery in NZ. We recommend the release of clear criteria from the Ministry of Health regarding public funding and availability of top surgery across NZ to address this frustration.

This study aims to analyze the elasticity price transmission of papaya fruit at the farmer level (producer) and at the consumer level (retailer) in Indramayu Regency. Papaya is one of the fruits favored by the public because of its vitamin content, fresh taste, and low price. The price transmission elasticity (Et) analysis uses a simple regression between two prices, namely prices at the farm level and at the retailer level. The research data uses time series data on monthly papaya prices at the farmer level and at the consumer level in Indramayu Regency during the 2014-2020 period. The results of the analysis show that the price elasticity of papaya fruit in Indramayu Regency is inelastic (Et < 1). This shows that price changes at the farmer level are smaller than the price changes at the retail level. This means that farmers have not received good prices from traders.

Salah satu mu’zizat yang diturunkan kepada Nabi Muhammad SAW adalah al-Qur’an. Al-Qur’an itu agung sudah sepantasnya diperlakukan juga secara agung pula,diantara nya dengan cara melantunkan al-Qur’an dengan memakai  naghom (lagu atau irama membaca al-Qur’an). Meskipun  tajwidlah yang terpenting didalam melantunkan ayat-ayat didalam al-Qur’an tapi melantunkan al-Quran dengan  naghom juga hal yang penting yang harus dilakukan oleh seorang qori atau pelantun al-Qur’an didalam melantunkan al-Qur’an, bahkan orang yang melantunkan al-Qur’an tidak dengan nada, kata Rosul bukan termasuk umat kami. Naghom dalam seni baca al-Quran menurut para ahli itu ada delapan macam naghom pokok atau lagu pokok  namun yang dipakai di Indonesia adalah tujuh naghom pokok atau lagu pokok,kemudian dari lagu pokok ini lahir nagho/lagu cabang,ada delapan belas lagu cabang yang lahir dari lagu-lagu pokok. Bagi orang yang melantunkan al-Qur’an memiliki lima keutamaan sebagaimana yang telah dibahas oleh ‘ulama dalam kitab riyadhussoolihiin. Al-Quran itu agung menjadi keharusan bagi kita selaku umat islam mengagungkan al-Qur’an,ada tata krama yang harus dilakukan ketika kita sedang membaca al-Qur’an,diantaranya yaitu kita diwajibkan memiliki wudhu terlebih dahulu apabila mau memegangnya, membaca ta’awudz dan basmalah ketika akan membaca-nya dan menundukkan kepala ketika sedang membaca-nya. Al-Quran adalah obat bagi penyakit dzohir maupun penyakit bathin,ketika kita sedang dalam keadaan resah dan gelisah bacalah al-Qur’an dengan penuh keikhlasan.

La estreptomicina en la tuberculosis pulmonar
Authors:   , Marino Oscar Juan Bautista
Published: September 2022

El descubrimienito de la estreptomicina por los autores Waksman, Schatz y Bugie de la Universidad de Rutger en New Jersey es del año de 1943. Este notable agente es producido por el Estreptomices Griseus siendo denominado Estreptomicina derivado del género Estreptomyces propuesto por Waksman y Henrich. La Estreptomicina es muy semejante al Estreptotricina en sus propiedades generales como en su solubilidad en el agua y su resistencia al calor y acaso sobre algunos gérmenes, diferiendose no obstante profundamente en otras particularidades, como su desenvolvimiento en los medios de cultivo, relativamente simples para la Estreptomicina y complejos para la Estreptomicina. Los primeros trabajos experimentales señalaron a la Estreptomicina como un antibiótico de acción poderosa sobre los gérmenes gran negativos así como sobre el Mycobacterium Tuberculoso, su toxicidad se reveló muy débil eliminándose fácilmente por la orina.
Patología psicosomática
Authors:   , Loisi Miguel José María
Published: September 2022

Tanto de la mente como del cuerpo el hombre puede tener un conocimiento axial,en el que conoce su psiquis y su cuerpo en forma objetiva, material y corpórea, o endial, en que conoce su psiquis e indirectamente su cuerpo, en forma subjetiva, espiritual y temporal. No existen diferencias esenciales entre hechos psíquicos y corporales; el psiquismo no es más que la función total del organismo. La diferencia es de grado de complejidad y no de naturaleza. Lo que ha pasado es que al psiquismo se le ha atribuido un carácter exclusivamente endial porque espontáneamente es mejor conocido bajo esta forma, y al cuerpo un carácter exial porque es mejor bajo esta otra. No habiendo pues diferencias de fondo entre las funciones psíquicas y las del resto del organismo, no cabe el estudio de dos patologías separadas y menos distintas. El estudio debe ser conjunto, unitario e integral de todas las funciones del individuo. Así ha nacido la medicina integral o psicosomática. La medicina psicosomática trata entonces de zanjar la distancia que no debe existir entre ella y la medicina internista y quirúrgica, considerando erróneos los conceptos extremistas que hacen del hombre un ser puramente espiritual o puramente material, para tratarlo como unidad biológica, psíquica y moral.
Modernization of the system of seismological
observations in the territory of Azerbaijan

The study of the seismicity of territories, the identification of potential sources of earthquakes and other seismological, seismotectonic studies ultimately serve to assess the seismic risk and determine ways to reduce it. According to the schematic map of seismic zoning, the background level of seismic hazard in the territory of Azerbaijan is 8 points. Thus, the creation of modern seismic monitoring, an alarm system and warning of seismic danger from tectonic earthquakes, is relevant for the territory of the republic. The article describes the historical process of upgrading old analog instruments to modern digital seismometers. The beginning of instrumental seismological observations in Azerbaijan began in 1902. In 1903, the stations “Baku” and “Balakhani” were founded, in 1908 the station “Zurnabad”. During 1980-1986 seven new seismic stations (“Lokbatan”, “Sumgayit”, “Imishli”, “Jabrayil”, “Kalbajar”, “Jalilabal” and “Nardaran”) were organized on the territory of Azerbaijan, and the number of stations reached 18. The beginning of the 2000s is marked by a new stage in the development of the seismological observation network in Azerbaijan. Digital stations with a telemetric communication channel began to be introduced into the observation network. In order to ensure a higher level of integrated seismological and geophysical research, from 2008 to 2022, the total number of digital seismic stations reached 84. Four of these stations were located in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic. In addition, there is a network of 10 stationary basalt seismic stations on the Absheron Peninsula, which record strong ground vibrations. Recorded earth vibrations from telemetry stations are transmitting in real time via satellite to the seismic processing and earthquake analysis center, where processing, archiving and analysis of seismic data is carried out using the Antelope Real Time System version 5.6 software system. The Antelope data acquisition and processing software runs on MacOSX computers. Along with the “Kinemetrics” system, new equipment “Seistronix” (made in the USA) has been introduced into the RSSC at ANAS, which allows studying the velocity section in the upper layers of the earth’s crust. This information is extremely important when carrying out seismic microzoning.

Authors: Shevchenko Yu.V.
Published: September 2022

The creation of the Kamchatka regional network of seismic stations began in 1961. The number of stations over the past 60 years has gradually increased and by 2022 the Kamchatka regional network of seismic stations consisted of 88 stations. Data from all seismic stations are available in digital form and provide continuous observations of the seismicity of the Kamchatka region, the fulfillment of tasks within the framework of the Urgent Seismic Reporting Service and the Tsunami Warning Service, seismic monitoring of volcanoes in order to predict eruptions and control their condition. All stations operate independently. The article presents a brief overview of the main studies and summarizes the experience in the field of seismometry and the operation of a network of seismic stations. A description of the equipment of seismic stations is given, a technique for calibrating seismometric channels is briefly considered, issues of synchronization of records of seismic traces and dynamic characteristics of seismic instruments are touched upon, work on studying the properties of the soil stratum at the base of the station pedestal is noted. Some technical aspects of the use of the CM3 seismometer at radio telemetric seismic stations are outlined.
