EFEITOS DO APAGAMENTO DA EXCEÇÃO NA CONTEMPORANEIDADE
Authors: Oliveira Michelle  Santos Sena de , Teixeira Antônio Márcio Ribeiro
Published: November 2021

No contexto de uma predominância de práticas avaliativas e de vigilância que incidem nos diversos domínios da vida contemporânea, este artigo tem como objetivo elucidar os efeitos do apagamento da exceção na Contemporaneidade sob o viés psicanalítico. Do discurso do mestre antigo ao discurso do mestre moderno, universitário e capitalista, o saber obtido pelo cálculo da utilidade e do valor passa a orientar as decisões políticas e individuais. Diante dessa realidade, a administração burocrática se direciona aos sujeitos, visando a homogeneizá-los e submetê-los ao ideal de transparência moderno, garantido pelo saber extraído e decodificado pelos instrumentos de avaliação. A psicanálise recolhe os efeitos desse laço social contemporâneo, mas, de forma distinta do discurso dominante, oferece outro destino ao íntimo, ao que do gozo não pode ser contabilizado e homogeneizado.

Published: November 2021

After 40 years of a totalitarian regime, the state of the environment in Czechoslovakia was catastrophic. The revolutions that swept through Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) in 1989/1990, including Czechoslovakia, sparked enthusiastic hopes for a better, democratic and perhaps “greener” future for this region. The major strategic goal of all the post-communist CEE countries was to join the European Union. The “eastern” enlargement was to take place under strict conditions in order to ensure that the EU does not suffer the negative consequences of an ill-prepared expansion. In the light of joining the EU, Czechoslovakia managed to adopt the whole series of progressive environmental legislation. However, after the parliamentary elections in June 1992 and the split of Czechoslovakia, environmental protection had to give way to economic growth and the overall transformation of society. This paper describes the development of Czech environmental law from a legal and a political perspective, providing examples illustrating the Czech Republic’s performance in implementing the EU environmental law and policy. After 17 years of membership in the EU, the Czech Republic and the implementation of the EU environmental law is still in conditional mode - the availability of the EU funds is the main leverage and motive to comply with the EU law.
Virgin Birth Controversy. Study in the Anthropology of Ignorance
Authors: Rajačić Ana Bilinović , Škorić Marko
Published: November 2021

Virgin birth controversy enjoys a privileged status in the history of anthropology and reflects the exceptional interest anthropology takes in “biological facts” of human procreation. In the widest sense, this controversy centers around procreative beliefs, or more precisely, the “discovery” of people who were considered to be ignorant of the facts of physiological paternity and the causal relationship between copulation and pregnancy (in humans). This paper offers an overview of the main theoretical approaches and an insight into the variety of empirical findings presented by the numerous participants in the virgin birth debate. It especially focuses on a critical assessment of the provided argumentation on the subject of procreative ignorance, as well as the matter of interpretation of ethnographical facts and an analysis of the meaning of “biological facts” from a cross-cultural perspective.
Je näher, desto ähnlicher. Ein koloniales Klischee, das räumliche Entfernung in kulturellen Termini interpretierte
Authors: Piwowarczyk Darius J.
Published: November 2021

The article concerns the perception of indigenous peoples by European and US-American carriers of the colonial project (missionaries, administrators, military theoreticians, etc.) at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. This perception reflected, in the first place, the ethnocentric component that had been present in every culture even before cultural relativism put it in question. In the course of the 19th century, it also received “scientific” legitimation in the form of Cultural Darwinism, represented, inter alia, by Lewis H. Morgan who conceptualized cultural evolution as going through three stages: savagery - barbarism - civilization. Here, I analyze the spatial dimension of the Morganian triad, namely the increasingly negative perception of the local population by colonial agents in relation to the growing distance from centers of colonial power.
A Study of Nonlinear Boundary Value Problem
Authors: Bouteraa Noureddine , Djourdem Habib
Published: November 2021

In this chapter, firstly we apply the iterative method to establish the existence of the positive solution for a type of nonlinear singular higher-order fractional differential equation with fractional multi-point boundary conditions. Explicit iterative sequences are given to approximate the solutions and the error estimations are also given. Secondly, we cover the multi-valued case of our problem. We investigate it for nonconvex compact valued multifunctions via a fixed point theorem for multivalued maps due to Covitz and Nadler. Two illustrative examples are presented at the end to illustrate the validity of our results.
Investigation of Trace Metal Bioaccumulation in Wastewater-Fed Fish: A Case Study
Authors: Katip Aslihan
Published: November 2021

It was stated that the use of urban wastewater in food production in the 1970s and 1980s may lead to the development of alternative farming systems in the future. Fish fed with wastewater are grown in Asian countries. However, due to the mixing of domestic wastewater with industrial wastewater, many toxic micro-polluting wastewaters affect fish farming even more. The objectives of this study were to investigate the suitability of fish for human food consumption in terms of metals, to provide a basis for the development of a standard on the concentration of heavy metals in reclaimed water used for fish aquaculture, and to search the possibilities of technical improvement of the system in terms of more efficient wastewater treatment. This study will be useful in terms of precautions and disadvantages that can be taken against food shortages that may be experienced with the effect of climate change.
A Double Line of Defense: Heat Shock Proteins and Polyamines Act as Contributing Factors to Drug Resistance of some Plasmodium Parasites
Authors: Henry Makhoba Xolani
Published: November 2021

Malaria remains a threat to human life worldwide with children under the age of 5 being the most vulnerable. Plasmodium falciparum, known as the causative agent of the deadliest malaria, survives both in the mosquito vector and human host. The sudden temperature change seems to not affect the parasite’s cellular system. Heat shock proteins and polyamines are the major house-keepers of the parasite’s cellular system to remain viable, despite the temperature changes that the parasite gets exposed to. While heat shock proteins protect newly synthesized proteins until they are properly folded polyamines are needed for cell differentiation, proliferation, and cell growth. In plants for example, polyamines have been reported to act as molecular chaperones when cells are exposed to unfavorable conditions that could be detrimental to cells. In this review, the role of heat shock proteins and polyamines in plasmodium parasite drug resistance and their role in parasite survival are discussed. The current drugs against malaria as well as the alternative future approach towards malarial drug development are reviewed.

Authors: Brit Nadiia , Sushkevych Olha , Solodchuk Aliona , Shulga Nataliia
Published: November 2021

The article focuses on the project method as a teaching tool, which activates teacher and students’ roles in learning English. We reveal our experience of implementing project activities to develop different communicative skills such as speaking, reading, listening, and writing. The paper deals with special approaches while developing project stages for each skill. In the article, listening skills are presented as the most difficult ones for the students to acquire within the project method activity. Even the most advanced learners need to prolong working on listening and will find that there are some words or collocations which are difficult to understand the first time they hear them. It can be stated that project method implementation into class activities comprises all language skills which are interconnected, meanwhile, reading skills are the basis of writing activity and enlarge an individual’s vocabulary, knowledge about the world around or inner outlook. Listening skills prepare for better understanding, responding and proceed to further information in the process of learning. It is also emphasized that development of speaking skills with the project method provide easier communication for a speaker in different speech areas, which can lead to the higher professional development.
Refeeding Syndrome in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
Authors: Bradford Caitlyn V. , Cober M. Petrea , Miller Jamie L.
Published: November 2021

Refeeding syndrome (RS) has not been well defined in the neonatal population, although hypophosphatemia is identified as the most common manifestation. The American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition recently provided recommendations for the prevention and management of RS in children and adults; however, specific neonatal recommendations were not provided. In an effort to provide an overview of the incidence of RS or hypophosphatemia in the neonatal population and the impact of patient-specific and nutrition factors, a review of the literature was conducted. The literature search included articles published in the English language in Medline, PubMed, and EPub between 1946 and December 2020. Relevant citations within identified articles were also reviewed. Sixteen studies representing 3688 neonates were included. There was variation in the incidence of hypophosphatemia (20%–90%), hypokalemia (8.8%–66.7%), and hypomagnesemia (1%–8.3%) between studies. There was significant variability in definitions of hypophosphatemia, patient populations (e.g., gestational age, small for gestational age status, intrauterine growth restriction), and initial nutrition between studies (i.e., initial amino acid intake, calcium and phosphate ratio), proving it difficult to identify the overall incidence of neonatal RS. Clinical outcomes associated with hypophosphatemia identified in the studies included increased duration of mechanical ventilation, development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and increased mortality. Vigilant monitoring of serum phosphate, potassium, and magnesium is required in the first week of life. In addition, early addition of phosphate in a 1:1 molar ratio with calcium is recommended in the first week of life for patients who are at greatest risk for RS.

Contemporary market conditions make all business entities confront various risks - credit risk, liquidity risk, cash flow risk and market risk. Companies should predict these particular business risks and manage them adequately in order to minimize their influence. The assessment of creditworthiness and bankruptcy risk has a major role in the process of prediction and management of company risks. The creditworthiness of companies presents their ability to meet financial obligations to their creditors contemporary business conditions recognize several methods for assessment of credit ability of entities. One of the most commonly used models for credit ability valuation, as well as prediction of bankruptcy likelihood in a company is the Altman's Z-score model. The main scope of this article is the assessment of bankruptcy risk by using Altman's Z-score model for the group of companies from the agricultural branch of drying and storage of fruit.

Published: November 2021

Objectives:Through focus groups, we aimed to understand ways to promote safe and healthy fish consumption among Hmong women in Minnesota.Methods:English-speaking Hmong women aged 18-40 were eligible to participate in 90-minute focus groups. Through our questions, we sought to gain understanding of the women's health-seeking behaviors and to obtain feedback on current messaging. We recorded the focus groups and transcribed and double-coded the data using sequential directed content analysis.Results:Thirteen Hmong women participated across 3 focus groups. The final coding tree included 6 primary themes related to health messaging, with adequate inter-coder reliability for each. Women identified the Internet as the primary source of health information with website preferences driven in-part by preferences of elders. Discrepancies between health beliefs of elder and younger generations were noted, with some evidence that personal fish consumption preferences outweighed cultural norms. Messages clearly targeting the Hmong population were preferred, with discrepancy in risk-versus benefit-framed messages.Conclusions:Findings highlight the need for culturally informed messages that are clear and carefully tailored. Our findings will inform future development of safe and healthy fish consumption messaging to better support the Hmong community in Minnesota.

Published: November 2021

Objectives: The overuse of smartphones affects physical, social, and psychological well-being. However, research on smartphone addiction and anxiety disorders is scarce. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the association between anxiety and smartphone addiction
risk in Korean adolescents. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional survey method. We used the Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale to assess anxiety symptoms and we used the Korean Smartphone Addiction Proneness Scale index to evaluate the degree of high-risk or at-risk for
smartphone addiction. Results: Analyses were performed for 1733 adolescents, including 771 boys and 962 girls. The high-risk or at-risk group for smartphone addiction accounted for 20.1% (p < .0001). Total anxiety scale score, as well as physiological anxiety, oversensitivity, and
social concern categories were statistically different among levels of smartphone addiction risk (all ps < .0001). Multivariate analysis showed that poor self-reported health level, higher risk of smartphone addiction, having fewer close friends, caffeine drink consumption, female
sex, and alcohol use were associated with greater anxiety. Conclusions: Management of smartphone addiction seems to be essential for proper psychological health. There is an urgent need to develop a way to prevent smartphone addiction on a social level.

Este recurso sirve al poeta para destacar la frustración del amante, en el marco de la naturaleza dual del epigrama y de las relaciones intertextuales y referenciales que se detectan en el texto.

This article proposes that the poetic use of agricultural vocabulary in Catullus’ carmen 48 is related to the frustration of a lover’s experience. The dual nature of the epigram and the intertextual and referential relationships inside the poem contribute to this interpretation.
La colère dans les Sentences attribuées à Publilius
Authors: Flamerie de Lachapelle Guillaume
Published: November 2021

In the Sententiae associated with Publilius, there are two main characteristics of anger: its brevity and its danger. Such a view was common by the end of the Republic. The moral assessment of anger can vary: when it is the result of a thoughtless impulsion, which occurs most of the time, the anger is blamed, but several verses seem to approve it when it came from a wise man. It is hard to understand whether this fact is influenced by a philosophy (Epicuraneism) or by dramaturgic necessities we do not know because of the fragmentary state of our corpus. It is nevertheless possible to assign a role to anger in several usual mime plots: it can provoke an argument as well as a reconciliation between two people who are in love and, as it appeared in Classical Comedy, it seems to occur often in a father-son relationship.

Dans les Sentences attribuées à Publilius, deux traits sont inhérents à la colère: sa brièveté et sa dangerosité, ce qui reflète une vision largement partagée à la fin de la République. L’appréciation morale, elle, est variable: lorsqu’elle procède d’un élan irréfléchi, ce qui est le cas ordinaire, la colère est condamnée, mais plusieurs vers semblent l’approuver quand elle émane d’un sage. Il est difficile de déterminer si ce fait résulte d’une influence philosophique (l’épicurisme) ou de nécessités dramaturgiques qui nous échappent en raison du caractère fragmentaire du corpus. Il est toutefois possible d’assigner un rôle à la colère dans certaines intrigues probablement classiques du mime: elle est susceptible de provoquer aussi bien la fâcherie que la réconciliation entre amoureux et, à l’instar de la comédie classique, paraît fréquente dans les relations entre un père et son fils.
De ira III, 2: fonti dossografiche e analogie con il moderno paradigma cognitivo-comportamentale
Authors: Carrozza Marco
Published: November 2021

This paper aims to analyse a dense passage of De ira by Seneca (III, 2) that, considering its structural and thematic relevance in the architecture of the tractate, gives rise to interesting and valuable considerations to understand more deeply the nature of the work. First, the extract under examination is crucial since enables to identify the dossographic sources that the author drew on to develop the therapeutic strategy adopted for the treatment of anger in the third book of the work. Furthermore, an overall interpretation of the essay, based on a passage so rich in literary and philosophical implications, will be provided. Eventually, we will deal with the therapeutic approach selected by the philosopher and its analogies with the ancient Cynic-Stoic ἐπιλογισμός and the modern cognitive-behavioral paradigm.

Il presente articolo si propone di esaminare un passo del De ira di Seneca (III, 2) che, in virtù della sua rilevanza strutturale e tematica all’interno dell’architettura dell’opera, si presta a sviluppare una serie di interessanti considerazioni, senz’altro utili per comprendere più a fondo la natura complessiva del trattato. Il passaggio in questione si rivela anzitutto cruciale poiché consente di tracciare le fonti dossografiche a cui l’autore si è ispirato per mettere a punto la strategia terapeutica adottata per la cura dell’ira, accuratamente illustrata proprio nel terzo libro dell’opuscolo. Sulla scorta inoltre di un passo così denso di implicazioni filosofico-letterarie, si avanzerà una proposta di interpretazione complessiva dell’opera e degli intenti che la sostenziano . Infine, si passerà ad analizzare l’approccio terapeutico prescelto dal filosofo, e si mostrerà come esso si collochi al confine fra l’antico ἐπιλογισμός cinico-stoico e il moderno paradigma cognitivo-comportamentale.

Authors: Hou Lei , Wang Jun-Nan , Wang Lei , Shi Wei ,   Department of Applied Physics, Xi’an University of Technology, Xi’an 710048, China
Published: November 2021

Water has the strong absorption of terahertz (THz) wave, so it always a difficult problem to study the characteristics of aqueous samples by THz technology. In this paper, THz waves with high field strength are obtained at the position of sample by using photoconductive antenna working in high-gain mode and horn shaped graded parallel plate waveguide in THz time-domain spectrum system, and the THz spectrum of α-lactose solution in a range of 0.1－1.5 THz is directly detected. Furthermore, the absorption spectrum of α-lactose single molecule model in water environment is simulated by the density functional theory, and the simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental results. This work has important reference value for directly detecting the spectral characteristics of water samples in THz band.
Branched ubiquitin chain binding and deubiquitination by UCH37 facilitate proteasome clearance of stress-induced inclusions

Published: November 2021

UCH37, also known as UCHL5, is a highly conserved deubiquitinating enzyme (DUB) that associates with the 26S proteasome. Recently, it was reported that UCH37 activity is stimulated by branched ubiquitin (Ub) chain architectures. To understand how UCH37 achieves its unique debranching specificity, we performed biochemical and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) structural analyses and found that UCH37 is activated by contacts with the hydrophobic patches of both distal Ubs that emanate from a branched Ub. In addition, RPN13, which recruits UCH37 to the proteasome, further enhances branched-chain specificity by restricting linear Ub chains from having access to the UCH37 active site. In cultured human cells under conditions of proteolytic stress, we show that substrate clearance by the proteasome is promoted by both binding and deubiquitination of branched polyubiquitin by UCH37. Proteasomes containing UCH37(C88A), which is catalytically inactive, aberrantly retain polyubiquitinated species as well as the RAD23B substrate shuttle factor, suggesting a defect in recycling of the proteasome for the next round of substrate processing. These findings provide a foundation to understand how proteasome degradation of substrates modified by a unique Ub chain architecture is aided by a DUB.

Published: November 2021

Choanal atresia is a congenital condition that occurs due to developmental failure of nasal cavity to communicate with the nasopharynx. There can be both unilateral and bilateral occlusion, bony, soft tissue and both. It can present at birth or early in the neonatal period or even later in life. This case series included three patients, who were admitted in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and they underwent surgical correction in the hospital. All these cases had different presentations and clinical course. First case was admitted for respiratory failure and sepsis and, later was diagnosed as bilateral choanal atresia. Second case was admitted at 17 days of life with diagnosis of Hypoxic Ischaemic Encephalopathy (HIE) and multiple extubation failure and later was diagnosed as unilateral choanal atresia. Third case had respiratory distress soon after birth and was referred with a diagnosis of suspected choanal atresia. It was confirmed as bilateral choanal atresia and the child improved after surgical correction. All three cases were out born and referred in the hospital at different postnatal ages with varied symptoms. The lessons learnt in management of first case helped in subsequent cases resulting in better outcome.

Authors: Krishnan Gaayathri , Rathinasabapathy Dharaniya , Natarajan Ganesh Kumar , Balasubramanian Dipika , Shankar Dinesh , Easwar L , Fathima L Firthous , Gayathiri AM
Published: November 2021

Introduction: Improper hand hygiene practices and eating at unsanitary eateries are a major cause for many of the life-threatening diseases. Although studies done in the past have focused on the hand hygiene of the restaurant staff, the customers’ hand hygiene, which is equally, if not more important, has not been studied in detail. Aim: To assess the factors facilitating hand hygiene for the customers as well as the general hygiene in the eateries of Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was done in the eateries of Coimbatore in June 2017, after obtaining clearance from Institutional human ethics committee. A list of eateries was collected from a food delivery application and 30 of them were chosen by systematic random sample. The restaurants were further categorised into low, medium and high-price ranged eateries based on the price of a standard food item (coffee). As a mystery client, the restaurants were inspected and observations were noted in a hidden checklist, which was constructed for the purpose of this study. The checklist consisted of three major categories, the washing area (9 marks), the customer (7 marks) and the general hygiene of the restaurant (7 marks). There were 23 items in the checklist and each item, if present, was awarded a score of 1. No negative scoring was done. Hence, the maximum score an eatery could get was 23 and minimum was zero. ANOVA test was applied to compare the scores of different types of eateries. Results: The mean and standard deviation hygiene scores of the low, medium and high-cost eateries were 7.7±4.05, 11±6.02 and 14±5.43, respectively. There was a significant difference in the (hygiene and sanitation) scores between low, medium and high- cost eateries (p-value=0.04). It was found that in lower priced restaurants, most of the restaurants failed to provide adequate facilities for hand hygiene. Medium and high price range eateries were similar in the fact that they scored better with regard to general hygiene and wash area facilities. Although none of the restaurants scored a full mark higher price ranged eateries had better wash area facilities. Customer hand hygiene practices were found to be subpar in all the three categories, even though facilities were present in some medium and high-end eateries. Conclusion: It was noticed that in some of the lower end restaurants, facilities for hand hygiene were not adequate. It was also found that if adequate facilities for hand hygiene were present in a restaurant, there was a higher chance of a customer to utilise that. This was found to be true especially in higher priced restaurants. Hence, the importance of hand hygiene and awareness among customers should be emphasised.

Untuk mengkaji pemaknaanya digunakan metode studi ikonologi  yang  dikemukakan  oleh  Panofsky.  Metode  ini  dilakukan  dengan  tahapan  deskripsi  pra  ikonografi,  tahapan  analisis ikonografi  dan  tahapan  interpretasi  ikonologi.  Tahap  pra-ikonografi  dilakukan  sebagai  langkah  awal  untuk  menemukan  makna primer.  Sedangkan  tahap  ikonografi  dilakukan  sebagai  langkah  lanjutan  untuk menemukan makna sekunder dan tahap interpretasi ikonologi  untuk  menemukan  makna  intrinsic.  Makna  primer  yang  dihasilkan  dari  tahap  pra-  ikonografi  menunjukkan  wujud  dari ragam  hias  ornamen  pada  interior  Vihara  Avalokitesvara.  Adapun  tahap  ikonografi  menghasilkan      makna  sekunder  yang menunjukkan  bahwa  makna  ragam  hias  ornamen  pada  interior  Vihara  mengandung  makna  filosofis  kebudayaan  China  dan  ajaran Buddha. Selanjutnya makna bangunan diinterpretasikan berdasarkan kondisi politik, sosial, dan budaya Indonesia selama orde lama hingga saat ini.

OpenSPIM is an Open Access platform for Selective Plane Illumination Microscopy (SPIM) and allows hundreds of laboratories around the world to generate and process light‐sheet data in a cost‐effective way due to open‐source hardware and software. While setting up a basic OpenSPIM configuration can be achieved expeditiously, correctly assembling and operating more complex OpenSPIM configurations can be challenging for routine standard OpenSPIM users. Detailed instructions on how to equip an OpenSPIM with two illumination sides and two detection axes (X‐OpenSPIM) are provided, and a solution is also provided on how the temperature can be controlled in the sample chamber. Additionally, it is demonstrated how to operate it by implementing an ArduinoUNO microcontroller and introducing μOpenSPIM, a new software plugin for OpenSPIM, to facilitate image acquisition. The new software works on any OpenSPIM configuration comes with drift correction functionality, on‐the‐fly image processing, and gives users more options in the way time‐lapse movies are initially set up and saved. Step‐by‐step guides are also provided within the Supporting Information and on the website on how to align the lasers, configure the hardware, and acquire images using μOpenSPIM. With this, current OpenSPIM users are empowered in various ways, and newcomers striving to use more advanced OpenSPIM systems are helped.

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) reduction of CO2 with H2O into syngas is an effective way to relieve the greenhouse effect and produce valuable chemicals. In this study, controllable PEC reduction of CO2 with H2O to syngas is achieved by the Cu2O‐SnOx hybrid nanowires (NWs) photocathode, which can effectively produce the mixture of syngas (CO and H2) with a total Faradaic efficiency of 90.32% at −0.35 V versus RHE. In addition, the CO/H2 ratio of syngas can be adjusted in a wide range from 2.2:1 to 4.6:1. The investigations of linear sweep voltammetry, incident photon to current efficiency, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and temperature programmed desorption indicate that the charge transfer efficiency and CO2 adsorption capacity are highly enhanced by the electrodeposition of SnOx on the Cu2O NWs electrode. In situ diffuse reflectance Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy spectra results indicate that visible light irradiation can accelerate the accumulation of CO2 reduction intermediates and thus facilitate the release of CO. This study provides an available way for the rational development of high‐performance PEC systems for CO2 reduction to valuable carbon‐based compounds, as well as a new strategy for atmospheric CO2 treatment.

Using narrow bandgap nonfullerene acceptors (NFAs) can broaden the absorption spectrum of organic solar cells (OSCs) to the near‐infrared region. However, the simultaneously decreased extinction coefficient of the active layer at the blue region results in inevitable light escaping and energy loss. Herein, a blazed grating‐based device configuration consisting of a patterned rear electrode is employed to compensate for the low absorption of nonfullerene OSCs. Experimental results reveal that the normal incidence light, especially blue light, that bounces off the patterned rear electrode is concentrated in a large tilted angle and subsequently trapped in waveguide mode. Along with the excitation of surface plasmon polariton, the structured nonfullerene OSCs using a new‐designed PM6:M36 active layer obtain the broadband absorption enhancement with 1.5 times increase at the blue region. The optimized device achieves an 8.95% increase in photocurrent and a champion power conversion efficiency of approaching 18%, which is the highest reported value among all the devices based on A‐D‐A type NFAs.

Although light‐emitting devices (LEDs) based on metal halide perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) developed rapidly in recent years, the luminance of pure red LEDs with the Rec. 2020 standard Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage 1931 color coordinates of (0.708, 0.292) cannot meet the requirement of outdoor display. Herein, a facile in situ modification strategy is proposed to prepare the efficiently luminescent CsPb(Br/I)3 PNCs, where metal bromides are used to create a halide‐rich environment and inhibit the formation of nonradiative surface defects. Synchronously, appropriately increased surface ligands improved the effective exciton confinement. Hence, the modified CsPb(Br/I)3 PNCs exhibited a high photoluminescence quantum yield of 92.0%. Additionally, the electrical conductivity is improved due to the increased hole mobility, and the Auger process is inhibited caused by balanced carrier mobilities. Consequently, LEDs based on the modified CsPb(Br/I)3 PNCs exhibited a maximum luminance of 11233 cd m−2 with the pure red color coordinate (0.704, 0.292) and a peak external quantum efficiency value of 13.2%. Furthermore, the luminance reached 5198 cd m−2 under the driving voltage of 4.4 V. This is the first study to realize a pure red PNC LED with high luminance under low bias, which can meet the requirement of outdoor display.

Deterministic creation of multiple ferroelectric states with variant values of polarization in ferroelectric thin films is promising for multilevel data storage applications. However, the intrinsic bi‐stability of ferroelectric switching makes it challenging to achieve. The deterministic ferroelectric states can be achieved by multistep switching through various means such as controlling domain structure and switching by inducing local disorder, and also by crystal orientations. However, to determine the effect of crystal directions on the stability of multistep polarization reversal requires investigation on different crystal directions. A high‐throughput approach namely combinatorial substrate epitaxy (CSE) is utilized to fabricate La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 (LSMO) polycrystalline substrate to grow PbZr0.2Ti0.8O3 (PZT) films epitaxially with different crystal directions in a single sample. The polarization reversal area is determined as a function of applied voltage along different . From the analysis, it is found that all  exhibit multilevel polarization states due to multistep switching events. Further the degree of multilevel polarization states shows a sawtooth‐like oscillatory behavior with increase in [111] miscut angle, which is attributed to influence of local disorder on the domain structure. Therefore, the realization of multilevel data storage device based on deterministic polarization reversal can be achieved with appropriate crystal directed thin films.

Double emulsions are complex fluid systems, which offer significant advantages over simple single emulsions for encapsulation, protection, and sustained release of cargos. However, they are thermodynamically unstable systems. Double emulsions are usually prepared using two sets of surfactants with different hydrophilic–lipophilic balance values. However, these surfactants often interfere with each other, thus affecting the emulsion stability. Colloidal particles have also been used to prepare double emulsions, which are known as Pickering double emulsions. The formulated double system is, however, temporary, and the adjustment of particle wettability is cumbersome and expensive. Here, the authors report a one‐step emulsification process to generate water‐in‐oil‐in‐water double emulsions using two oppositely charged, plant‐derived particles, zein nanoparticles, and cellulose nanocrystals as stabilizers. The stabilization is attributed to the adsorption of aggregates formed by the two types of particles through electrostatic attraction at the oil–water interface with different curvatures. The application of co‐encapsulation of β‐carotene and epigallocatechin gallate is demonstrated, which synergistically improves their stability under different conditions. Therefore, the formulated all‐natural Pickering double emulsions can find applications in various industries, including food, pharmaceutics, and cosmetics.
