The role of Street art in urban space recognition
Authors: Pogrmić Zorica , Đerčan Bojan
Published: April 2022

Street (urban) art is an art form that consists of graffiti, murals, mosaics in urban space. As the process of globalization increasingly affects the form of the city, urban identities have become less noticeable. At the same time, different social forces are trying to create an urban space. In the formation of urban identity , the appearance of the city plays a key role in creating specific spaces inscribed in material artifacts. One of these practices of creating, defending and expanding the free space of social everyday life are works of street art. As a symbolic and moral challenge to the dominant role of the city government, works of street art can be an indicator of changing urban space, as they represent a conflict over the use of public space. Placing art in a public urban space can serve as a means of separating the physical and social characteristics of a place. Street art participates in creating the uniqueness of the location and thus the identity of the city.

Published: April 2022

In recent years, power quality has become almost as important in the renewable energy sector. Much of today's research is focused on resolving power quality issues. These issues are related to a voltage (sags, swells, distortions, and imbalances), system response speed, harmonics, ripples, and Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). Many researchers have recently been working on various controllers to address power quality issues. These articles primarily address power quality issues that arise as a result of system response time, harmonics, and torque ripples. This study will be used to improve the performance of a photovoltaic (PV) fed multilevel inverter. In the field of renewable energy systems, controllers have played a critical role. Proportional (P), Proportional-Integral (PI), and Proportional Integral Derivative (PID), Fractional Order PID (FOPID), and Integral Order PID (IOPID) controllers are used in renewable energy systems to improve power quality. In this study, the response of the PI controller will be measured, analyzed, and compared to the response of the PI hysteresis controller. Existing methods make use of a photovoltaic-fed multilevel inverter, a boost converter, a multilevel inverter, and a proportional-integral (PI) controller. As a load, a three-phase induction motor is used. A PI hysteresis controller is used in place of a traditional PI controller in the proposed system. For the PI Controller, the Experimental Hardware prototype model is designed and validated. Simulation designs for existing and proposed systems are carried out using MATLAB Simulink, and the results are noted and verified.

Keywords: PI controller, Multilevel Inverter (MLI), boost converter, hysteresis controller, ripple reduction, Photovoltaic module.

Authors: ABRIL JIMENEZ PATRICIA , CABRERA UMPIERRE MARIA FERNANDA , MONTALVA COLOMER JUAN BAUTISTA , ARREDONDO MARIA TERESA
Published: April 2022

Workers in quarries are exposed to extremely physical demanding work that may pose a risk of adverse health consequences, especially at advanced age. Digital technologies can provide support at workplaces to compensate the daily occupational dangers reducing their impact on long term worker health status. The purpose of this study is to identify relevant factors to improve long-term workability of aged quarry workers that can be addressed. Two focus groups were conducted with the participation of mid-aged workers from four different quarries. Up to 20 factors that influence positive and negatively on workability have emerge. These factors were classified in three common themes: work influences on health, job satisfaction and work-life balance. These results help point the way to the development of safety ageing measures and programs specific for quarry workers and miners oriented to avoid injuries, increase safety at work and contribute to successful retirement policies.
Keywords: workability; ageing at work; quarry workers; safety and health at work; Industry 4.0.

Published: April 2022

The current market environment, characterized by its volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity (VUCA), means a paradigm shift for any organization. Consequently being innovative via new perspectives such as the management of the Organizational Culture becomes a key factor as a potentially strong competitive advantage. In this framework, the main objective of this research is to analyse the impact of an Organizational Culture Transformation Model for an automotive sector’s manufacturing plant, with over 750 employees and 105,000 m2 in size, to facilitate its journey towards a High Performing Organization as way of survival. After four years of rigorous and systematic implementation of the model, the impact has been measured through the improvement obtained in the main business Key Performance Indicators and the Organizational Culture survey. In all of them, improvement exceeds expectations. Thus, Net Structural Cost Savings have been 1.4% versus 1% expected, Plant Overall Equipment Efficiency 69.8% vs 68%, for the Safety and Quality Index, Line Driven Management has been implemented as expected, and finally the Organizational Culture Survey (% of questions answered 4 or 5) has reached 58.1% vs 55%, demonstrating that the model positively impacts the organizational culture, enabling the viability of the plant.

Keywords: Organizational Culture, High Performance Organization, Manufacturing Performance Improvement, Key Performance Indicators

Published: April 2022

The additive manufacturing process by extrusion can provide an economical alternative to the manufacture of metal parts compared to powder bed fusion technologies, which are more expensive and with much lower production rates. The alternative’s viability is based on knowing how to print by extrusion metallic parts with adequate mechanical properties. This work explains how to print traction dog-bone specimens by fused fabrication of a filament loaded with stainless steel 316L powder. Subsequent, postprocesses of debinding and sintering for increasing specimen’s density are also described. The specimens were tested to assess the mechanical properties of traction achieved: elastic limit, youth modulus, maximum stress, rotational stress and Poisson's modulus. Finally, the results were compared with those obtained in an AISI 316L rolled steel specimen, and the obtained micro-structured was studied.

Authors: SERRANO GONZALEZ JAVIER , RIQUELME SANTOS JESUS , ARCOS VARGAS ANGEL
Published: April 2022

This article provides an overview of high voltage direct current (HVDC) and high voltage alternating current (HVAC) power transmission alternatives. The use of HVDC systems currently represents an efficient alternative under certain conditions, mainly due to reduced converter costs, improved power system flexibility and higher economic efficiency for long distances and, in particular, when it is relevant for power transmission over submarine or subway cables. Therefore, this paper describes the overview of the two alternatives, both from a technical and economic point of view

Aging, Embodiment, and the Somatic Turn
Authors: Gilleard Chris , Higgs Paul
Published: April 2022

This article addresses contemporary representations of bodily aging by calling attention to the difference between “corporeality” and “embodiment.” Drawing on Haraway’s distinction between the body as social actant and the body as a site of social agency, we argue for the need to distinguish between aging as corporeality—treating the aging body as a social actant—and aging as embodiment—treating the aging body as co-constructor of its own identity. Embodiment, or embodied habitus, is realized through embodied identities and the embodied practices associated with past and present identities. This distinction is important in locating the new narratives and performances of later life emerging in the aftermath of the cultural revolution of the 1960s. The rise of somatic society, the growth of mass consumerism, and the new politics of identity initially targeted youth buthave since extended their infuence across the life course. These phenomena have helped realize variously embodied, valued identities through whose trajectories it has become possible to think the aging body differently.

Picturing Midlife: Aging and the Limits of Narrative in Carol Shields’s Larry’s Party
Authors: Jamieson Sara
Published: April 2022

This paper approaches Larry’s Party (1997) by Carol Shields as a detailed investigation into the political and representational issues at stake in writing about midlife by focusing on moments when the middle-aged Larry is describedas attempting to “visualize” his life (169). Highlighting Larry’s conviction that “his life is not ... a story” (267), his engagement with visual images raises questions about the centrality of narrative to how midlife is explained and imagined in contemporary literature and culture. Margaret Morganroth Gullette’s influential theorization of midlife and midlife fiction celebrates the sequential and teleological aspects of narrative as enabling a kind of life storytelling that characterizes the entry into middle age as progress toward an improved self. Questioning this conceptualization of a life as a linear, upward trajectory, Shields’s text foregrounds the assumptions about class implicit in the “progress novel” as Larry resists the devaluation of his working-class origins that would seem to accompany the imperative that he esteem his midlife self as better than his previous selves. Associating the fixity of the visual image with other non- narrative qualities such as touch, taste, and affective states characterized by stasis rather than momentum, Larry’s Party invites readers to question the cultural valorization of progress that continues to shape our assumptions about what it means to grow older.
Literature and Ageing
Authors: Gilleard Chris , Barry Elizabeth , Skagen Margery Vibe
Published: April 2022

In the category “Review Response,” Age, Culture, Humanities features diverse, sometimes conflicting, views within age studies and assessments of the research carried out in the field. This article takes Elizabeth Barry’s and Margery Vibe Skagen’s 2020 anthology Literature and Ageing as a case in point to raise questions about some of the central tenets and approaches in the study of literature and aging. Most importantly, as the title suggests, the edited collection promises a clearer understanding of the relation between literature and ageing.

In the first section, Chris Gilleard offers his thoughts on the anthology and its essays. He raises a number of critical questions that, so we (in our capacity as co- editors of Age, Culture, Humanities) felt, address issues that are not only relevant to the anthology but are of larger importance to the field of age studies: What can literary studies – with its different methods and theories – add to the study of age and aging?

In order to enable a generative conversation about these questions, we invited the editors Barry and Skagen to write a response to Gilleard’s critique. It constitutes the second section of this article and, rather than defend their work, Barry and Skagen clarify what is, in their view, the role of literature in age studies.
Growing Up in “a new sort of country”
Authors: Capancioni Claudia
Published: April 2022

In the second half of the nineteenth century, Margaret Collier Galletti di Cadilhac (1846-1928), a little-known writer, published Prince Peerless: A Fairy Folk Story Book (1886), a collection of fairy tales that demands scholarly attention as a valuable experiment with imagining permeable national cultural borders. Collier’s writing appealed to the Victorian readership because it represented unfamiliar Italian geopolitics she understood well as a British resident in Italy. This article, for the first time, opens the door to her Anglo-Italian nursery to examine the ways in which her multilingual and multicultural family stimulated Prince Peerless, a Christmas book beautifully illustrated by John Collier (1850-1934), the author’s younger brother. It explores how, through fantasy, she moves beyond factual and practical experience of negotiating Anglo-Italian dynamics and speculates on the potential of growing up multinational. In her tales, fairies, elves, and gnomes are an effective vehicle in representing linguistic, cultural, and sociohistorical diversity. Her fantastic creatures are an essential interlocutor for children to grow up understanding the value, as well as the challenge, of being other, of cultural differences, interaction, and negotiation. This article studies how Prince Peerless charts new geographies of encounters between children, or young adults, and magical creatures. In the fairy tale, I argue, Margaret Collier finds a subjunctive form to explore how childhood experiences of visiting fairylands can shape one’s cultural models of identity and transcend national borders by configuring identities that go beyond sociocultural expectations defined by nation states and assert a multilingual and multilayered identity.

AbstractThe number of forensic psychiatric patients has steadily increased in many countries during the past 30 years. This increase has been especially pronounced in Denmark when viewed on a per capita basis. Explanations that consider the diversity of possible factors influencing the development are currently insufficient. Most forensic psychiatric patients suffer from psychotic conditions and are convicted under Section 16 of the Danish Penal Code. A smaller proportion is comprised of non-psychotic mentally-disordered offenders convicted under Section 69. In recent years, a hitherto unobserved increase has been seen in the use of treatment sanctions for the latter group. This article describes factors that may have contributed to this development during the period 2003-2013.This is a retrospective file-based study using comparative statistical analysis. The study utilizes 1,078 forensic psychiatric assessment reports concerning non-psychotic mentally-disordered offenders covering the years 2003, 2008, and 2013, together with statements from the Medico-Legal Council and all final verdicts. Results indicate a near doubling in the number of psychiatric sanctions given to non-psychotic mentally-disordered offenders. The total number of forensic psychiatric assessments required by the judicial authorities also increased, though not to the same extent. Geographical differences were found in, among other factors, requests from the police for forensic psychiatric assessments, psychiatric diagnoses and medical recommendations for the court. Interestingly, a significant decrease in the involvement of the Medico-Legal Council occurred during the 10-year study period.

Rate-limiting transport of positively charged arginine residues through the Sec-machinery is integral to the mechanism of protein secretion
Authors: Allen William J , Corey Robin A , Watkins Daniel W , Oliveira A Sofia F , Hards Kiel , Cook Gregory M , Collinson Ian
Published: April 2022

Transport of proteins across and into membranes is a fundamental biological process with the vast majority being conducted by the ubiquitous Sec machinery. In bacteria, this is usually achieved when the SecY-complex engages the cytosolic ATPase SecA (secretion) or translating ribosomes (insertion). Great strides have been made towards understanding the mechanism of protein translocation. Yet, important questions remain – notably, the nature of the individual steps that constitute transport, and how the proton-motive force (PMF) across the plasma membrane contributes. Here, we apply a recently developed high-resolution protein transport assay to explore these questions. We find that pre-protein transport is limited primarily by the diffusion of arginine residues across the membrane, particularly in the context of bulky hydrophobic sequences. This specific effect of arginine, caused by its positive charge, is mitigated for lysine which can be deprotonated and transported across the membrane in its neutral form. These observations have interesting implications for the mechanism of protein secretion, suggesting a simple mechanism through which the PMF can aid transport by enabling a 'proton ratchet', wherein re-protonation of exiting lysine residues prevents channel re-entry, biasing transport in the outward direction.
Epistatic selection on a selfish Segregation Distorter supergene – drive, recombination, and genetic load
Authors: Navarro-Dominguez Beatriz , Chang Ching-Ho , Brand Cara L , Muirhead Christina A , Presgraves Daven C , Larracuente Amanda M
Published: April 2022

Meiotic drive supergenes are complexes of alleles at linked loci that together subvert Mendelian segregation resulting in preferential transmission. In males, the most common mechanism of drive involves the disruption of sperm bearing one of a pair of alternative alleles. While at least two loci are important for male drive—the driver and the target—linked modifiers can enhance drive, creating selection pressure to suppress recombination. In this work, we investigate the evolution and genomic consequences of an autosomal, multilocus, male meiotic drive system, Segregation Distorter (SD) in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. In African populations, the predominant SD chromosome variant, SD-Mal, is characterized by two overlapping, paracentric inversions on chromosome arm 2R and nearly perfect (~100%) transmission. We study the SD-Mal system in detail, exploring its components, chromosomal structure, and evolutionary history. Our findings reveal a recent chromosome-scale selective sweep mediated by strong epistatic selection for haplotypes carrying Sd, the main driving allele, and one or more factors within the double inversion. While most SD-Mal chromosomes are homozygous lethal, SD-Mal haplotypes can recombine with other, complementing haplotypes via crossing over, and with wildtype chromosomes via gene conversion. SD-Mal chromosomes have nevertheless accumulated lethal mutations, excess non-synonymous mutations, and excess transposable element insertions. Therefore, SD-Mal haplotypes evolve as a small, semi-isolated subpopulation with a history of strong selection. These results may explain the evolutionary turnover of SD haplotypes in different populations around the world and have implications for supergene evolution broadly.

Published: April 2022

Background: Nocturnal Hypertension (NHT) has an impact on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Our aim was to evaluate the association between NHT and cardiovascular events. Methods: We carried out a retrospective cohort study including adults which had an ambulatory blood pressure monitoring test between March 2017 and July 2020 at a hospital in Buenos Aires City Argentina, with up to 36 months follow-up. Univariate and multivariate analyzes were performed to identify associated factors. Results: Four hundred and ninety four patients were included in the final analysis, 48% male, average age 58.9 years. Sixty two percent (n=308) presented NHT. A higher incidence of the cardiovascular composite endpoint was found in this group compared to those who did not present it, 10.4% vs 3.8% (p=0.013). In the final multivariate Cox regression analysis NHT was an independent predictor of cardiovascular events (HR= 3.9; 95% CI 1.56–9.81; p= 0.001), even independently of daytime HTN and the different circadian patterns of pressure. Conclusions: In this contemporary cohort from Buenos Aires, NHT was related to cardiovascular events incidence. Different measures should be taken to increase NHT awareness and diagnosis.

Published: April 2022

Background: Several Argentine registries on chronic heart failure (CHF) have been generated over the past 25 years, either individually by the Argentine Society of Cardiology (SAC) or the Argentine Federation of Cardiology (FAC), with different representativeness. The last known data are from 2013. The OFFICE IC AR registry was jointly undertaken by the SAC and FAC to know the reality of CHF in Argentina. Objective: The aim of this registry was to extensively and comprehensively describe the outstanding characteristics of CHF in Argentina, including patient characteristics, use of diagnostic and therapeutic resources, adherence to practice guidelines and mid-and long-term prognosis. Methods: This was a prospective cohort study of patients with at least 6-month evolution CHF and not hospitalized for at least the past 3 months. Clinical and paraclinical data were collected. Patients were categorized according to left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), into HF with reduced EF, HFrEF (≤40 %), HF with midrange EF, now termed HF with mildly reduced EF, HFmrEF (41%- 49%), and HF with preserved EF, HFpEF (≥50%). The incidence of hospitalization for HF (HHF), cardiovascular mortality (CVM) and all-cause mortality (ACM) was recorded for at least 1-year follow-up. Results: Between November 2017 and January 2020, 100 cardiologists from all over the country included 1004 patients with CHF. Mean age was 65.8±12.4 years, 74.6% were men, and 93.8% had known LVEF. In 68.4% of cases, patients had HFrEF, 16% HFmrEF and 15.6% HFpEF. A high prevalence of comorbidities was found, including diabetes and anemia in 30% of cases, and chronic renal failure in 22%. There was high use of neurohormonal antagonists (NHA): 89.5% betablockers, 57.3% renin-angiotensin system inhibitors or antagonists, 28.9% sacubitril-valsartan and 78.6% aldosterone antagonists. Triple therapy was used in 69% of patients, with higher prescription in HFrEF, but elevated even on HFpEF. At a median follow-up of 1.7 years, the annual incidence of CVM/ HHF was 12.8%, CVM 6.6% and ACM 8.4%, without statistical differences between the different LVEF categories. Conclusions: This first SAC-FAC joint CHF registry verified a high prevalence of HFrEF, a high prevalence of comorbidities, frequent use of NHA and prognosis according to international registries.

Published: April 2022

The present investigation was carried out to assess the extent of genetic variability, heritability, genetic advance and genetic divergence using 35 dahlia (Dahlia variabilis L.) genotypes with 20 characters. Moderate to high GCV and PCV were recorded for almost all the characters under study emphasizing the existence of variation in the population. All the characters (except plant spread and width of the tuber) showed high heritability along with higher or moderate genotypic coefficient of variation and genetic advance indicating that most likely the heritability was due to additive gene effects and the genotypes under study were highly diverse. The inter-cluster average D2 value was maximum between the cluster V and III (D2=6704.46) and minimum inter cluster distance was obtained between cluster IV and I (D2 =1256.64).

Published: April 2022

Background: Fluid management is a complicated subject and one of the most difficult facets of medical care. Fluid balance has been shown to improve respiratory physiology for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients. The aim of this study was to assess the role of electrical cardiometry (EC) in fluid management in ARDS.

Methods: This pilot interventional study was carried on 15 patients who were 18 years or older and fulfill the Berlin definition of ARDS. Fluid management was guided by EC.

Results: ICU stay has a mean value of 13.67 ± 4.58 days and duration of MV has with a mean value of 10.27 ± 4.34 days. Lung injury score decreased significantly at 7, 14, 21, 28 days when compared to baseline. Intravenous fluid intake had significantly decreased in 4,5,6,7 days when compared to the 1st day. Urine output has significantly decreased in 5,6,7 days when compared to the 1st day. Hemodynamic instability was in 20% of patients, heart failure in 13.3% of patients, sepsis in 20.0% of patients and organ failure in 26.7% with no renal failure and no arrythmia.

Conclusions: EC was effective in the fluid management in ARDS as regards decreasing 28th day mortality, LIS, fluid intake, duration of MV and ICU stay.

Background: Burn injuries represent a common type of traumatic injuries. They may cause morbidity, mortality, or psychological and cosmetic problems. About 265 000 individuals die secondary to burns according to the WHO results. Simple first aids following a burn injury have been shown to improve the outcome.

Objectives: Evaluation of first aid knowledge about the management of burns among the general population in Saudi Arabia.

Subjects and Methods: This is a cross-sectional study that assesses awareness regarding burn injury first aids among the general population in Saudi Arabia. Data was collected using a questionnaire formed of 18 questions about demographic data, burn first aid knowledge and practice. Burn first aid knowledge and practice parts of the survey assessed participants' knowledge regarding basics of burn first aid and when to seek medical assistance.

Results: 70.6% of the sample study has previous knowledge of applying first aid for burns. 62.8% of the sample study think it's wrong to put raw eggs or herbs on the wound. 51.04% of the sample study use honey while 30.73% of them use toothpaste to treat burns. 76.3% of the sample study think that jewelry and clothing should be removed from the affected area of burn.

Conclusion: 70.6% of Saudi population had basic knowledge regarding the first aid of burn, however, there are wrong beliefs about the benefit of using honey, toothpaste, and raw egg in case of burns. Raising awareness of community members about the benefits of first aids for burns is recommended.

Bacterial infection of wound plays an important role in the development of chronicity and delayed healing. In this study, a total of 50 wound swabs were aseptically collected from patients attending specialist hospital Jimeta Yola, Adamawa State and were screened for bacteria. The isolates were identified using Gram-staining and biochemical tests. Eight different bacterial species were identified with Staphylococcus aureus having the highest occurrence with 11(26.19%), followed by Escherichia coli 8(19.05%), Klebsiella pneumoniae 6(14.29%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus epidermidis 5(11.9%), Proteus vulgaris, Streptococcus pyogenes 3(7.14%) and lastly, Bacillus subtilis with 1(2.38%). Antibiotic susceptibility test using Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method revealed that most of the Gram-positive isolates significantly resisted oxacillin, penicillin and amoxicillin. Most Gram negatives significantly resisted septrin, chloramphenicol, amoxicillin, augmentin and pefloxacin. Ciprofloxacin was 100% effective against both Gram positive and Gram-negative isolates. Plasmid curing of resistant isolates using 10% sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) revealed that resistance to penicillin, oxacillin, amoxicillin, augmentin and pefloxacin were plasmid borne whereas chloramphenicol and septrin (trimethoprim) were not. Bacteria associated with wound infections encompass both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria in nearly equal proportions with high rate of resistance among the isolates.

Lahan perkotaan yang terbatas serta kualitas lingkungan yang semakin menurun, mendorong kebutuhan alternatif tempat tinggal. Penggunaan bangunan vertikal secara maksimal diharapkan dapat memperbaiki kualitas tata kota. Berbagai penelitian dilakukan untuk memahami keadaan di rumah susun maupun kondisi fasilitas yang tersedia, namun penelitian sebelumnya fokus pada rumah susun kelas menengah atas. Pada sisi lain, rumah susun (rusun) sederhana sewa memiliki kendala tersendiri jika terjadi laporan kerusakan, meliputi tingkat kerusakan ringan, sedang, dan berat. Perbedaan pandangan terjadi pada sisi pengelola (pemerintah), penghuni, serta biaya sewa perbulan. Birokrasi pemerintah yang cenderung lambat mengarahkan penelitian ini pada responsivitas pengelola terhadap kerusakan bangunan. Penelitian dilakukan dengan menyebarkan kuesioner dan uji chi-square. Hasil dari penelitian menunjukkan kerusakan berhubungan dengan pelayanan, khususnya pelayanan informatif oleh petugas rusun. Namun pelayanan informatif tidak diikuti dengan responsivitas tindakan pengelola. Kerusakan yang tidak segera diperbaiki, mengakibatkan kerusakan menjadi semakin parah.

Tracking systems such as Radixact Synchrony change the planned delivery of radiation during treatment to follow the target. This is typically achieved without considering the location changes of organs at risk (OARs). The goal of this work was to develop a novel 4D dose accumulation framework to quantify OAR dose deviations due to the motion and tracked treatment. The framework obtains deformation information and the target motion pattern from a four‐dimensional computed tomography dataset. The helical tomotherapy treatment plan is split into 10 plans and motion correction is applied separately to the jaw pattern and multi‐leaf collimator (MLC) sinogram for each phase based on the location of the target in each phase. Deformable image registration (DIR) is calculated from each phase to the references phase using a commercial algorithm, and doses are accumulated according to the DIR. The effect of motion synchronization on OAR dose was analyzed for five lung and five liver subjects by comparing planned versus synchrony‐accumulated dose. The motion was compensated by an average of 1.6 cm of jaw sway and by an average of 5.7% of leaf openings modified, indicating that most of the motion compensation was from jaw sway and not MLC changes. OAR dose deviations as large as 19 Gy were observed, and for all 10 cases, dose deviations greater than 7 Gy were observed. Target dose remained relatively constant (D95% within 3 Gy), confirming that motion‐synchronization achieved the goal of maintaining target dose. Dose deviations provided by the framework can be leveraged during the treatment planning process by identifying cases where OAR doses may change significantly from their planned values with respect to the critical constraints. The framework is specific to synchronized helical tomotherapy treatments, but the OAR dose deviations apply to any real‐time tracking technique that does not consider location changes of OARs.

Published: April 2022

Numerous studies conducted on the layered graphene family—including the monolayer, bilayer, trilayer, few‐layer, and multilayer—draw plenty of attention to stacking modes and twist angles, which are extensively explored for its controlled growth, properties, and applications. This review provides a comprehensive overview of current challenges and opportunities for the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth, characterization, and electrical properties of graphene depending on the layer number and twist angles. Various state‐of‐the‐art innovations using the CVD method, which incorporates graphene synthesis through the control of metal substrates, layer numbers, and twist angles, are presented. The underlying growth mechanisms are discussed in terms of the interactions among graphene substrates/layers and its dynamic process. The characterization methods for determining the layer number and twist angle of graphene layers are summarized. Furthermore, the electrical properties and applications of graphene, particularly magic‐angle twist bilayer graphene, are briefly introduced. Finally, outlooks and perspectives for the engineering of CVD graphene layers are discussed.

Moderate adsorption of oxygenated intermediates takes a significant role in rational design of high‐efficiency oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) electrocatalysts. Long‐serving as a reliable strategy to tune geometric structure of nanomaterials, defect engineering enjoys the great ability of adjusting the coordination environment of catalytic active sites, which enables dominant regulation of adsorption energy and kinetics of ORR catalysis. However, limited to controllable nanocrystals fabrication, inducing uniformly dispersed high‐coordinated defects into ultrathin 2D nanosheets remains challenging. Herein, atomic‐scale cavities (ASCs) are proposed as a new kind of high‐coordinated active site and successfully introduced into suprathin Pd (111)‐exposed metallene. Due to its atomic concave architecture, leading to elevated CN and moderately downshifted d‐band center, the as‐made Pd metallene with ASCs (c‐Pd M) exhibits excellent ORR performance with mass activity of 2.76 A mgPd−1 at 0.9 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) and half‐wave potential as high as 0.947 V, which is 18.9 (2.7) times higher and 104 (46) mV larger than that of commercial Pt/C (Pd metallene without ASCs). Besides, the durability of c‐Pd M exceeds its commercial counterpart with ≈30% loss after 5000 cycles. This work highlights a new‐style mentality of designing fancy active sites toward efficient ORR electrocatalysis.

Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) typically suffers from compromised anticancer efficacy owing to the low reactive oxygen species (ROS) yield and complicated tumor microenvironment (TME) which can consume ROS and support the occurrence and development of tumors. Herein, ultrathin‐FeOOH‐coated MnO2 nanospheres (denoted as MO@FHO) as sonosensitizers which can not only facilitate ultrasound (US)‐triggered ROS but also tune the TME by hypoxia alleviation, H2O2 consumption as well as glutathione (GSH) depletion are designed. The FeOOH coating will boost the production yield of singlet oxygen (1O2) and hydroxyl radicals (•OH) by inhibiting the recombination of US‐initiated electron–hole pairs and Fenton‐like reaction, respectively. Additionally, the catalase‐like and GSH peroxidase‐like activities of MO@FHO nanospheres enable them to break the TME equilibrium via hypoxia alleviation and GSH depletion. The combination of high ROS yield and fundamental destruction of TME equilibrium results in satisfactory antitumor outcomes, as demonstrated by the high tumor suppression efficacy of MO@FHO on MDA‐MB‐231‐tumor‐bearing mice. No obvious toxicity is detected to normal tissues at therapeutic doses in vivo. The capability to modulate the ROS production and TME simultaneously can afford new probability for the development of advanced sonosensitizers for synergistic comprehensive cancer therapy.
