Mental activity in preschool children with severe craniocerebral trauma
Authors: Zakrepina Alla , Strebeleva Elena
Published: July 2018

Currently, pedagogical assistance to children with severe craniocerebral trauma (TCMT) is an actual problem not only in healthcare, but also in special needs education. The aim of this research was to identify leading factors in the structure of mental activity in children with severe craniocerebral trauma (TCMT).

The experiment involved 65 preschool children as participants (28 of them girls and 37 boys). The following research methods were used: observation of a child, psychological and pedagogical examination. According to clinical rates, all participating children had a combined type of severe craniocerebral injury. The majority of children were in a vegetative state. A scientific examination of the children was carried out over one year in the period of the early stages of hospital rehabilitation.

The results showed a disharmonious distribution of the factors load in the structure of mental activity, depending on the severity of its manifestations in the early stages of rehabilitation. Despite a similar diagnosis of TCMT in terms of clinical parameters, three groups of factors were distinguished: the first factor encompasses characteristics that reflect the emotional-sensory level of mental activity; the second factor combines elementary arbitrary movements and actions, combined with involuntary manifestations, which may indicate difficulties in understanding the meaning of the speech addressed to the child; the third factor is saturated with the characteristics of arbitrary actions associated with the perception and purposefulness of movements and actions. This is supported by socially important forms of behavior of the child and an accessible way of communicating with the adult in a particular subject game or everyday situation.

Although similar looking severe consequences of craniocerebral trauma are being demonstrated, the mental activity in patients in the study group had different manifestations depending on the prevailing factors. It was possible to differentiate the content of the educational training of patients in a variety of hospital rehabilitation activities.
Study on the Change in Characteristics of Ring Yarn during Post Spinning and Yarn Dyeing Operations
Authors: Saravanan Alwar Ramaiyan , Subramanian Sundaramoorthy
Published: July 2018

The origin of yarn hairiness has been attributed to the escape of fibres from the twisting action from within the spinning triangle. The protruding fibres entangle themselves due to the rubbing of yarn with parts of the machinery during post spinning operations and form thin places, thick places and neps. In this study, cotton combed yarns were produced by removing 14, 16 and 18% of the noil at the comber. These samples were dyed before and after singeing. The hairiness, imperfections and tenacity of the yarns were measured. The results revealed that an increase in comber noil causes a decrease in imperfections at the ring bobbin stage. The imperfections changed at different stages of post spinning operations and dyeing, and finally the difference was not appreciable, especially when the noil % was extracted beyond a certain level. The tenacity of yarn decreased when the ring bobbin was converted into a cone form, singed and dyed. Removal of a higher level of comber noil or singeing did not make a significant difference at the dyed yarn stage, although there was difference at the ring bobbin and cone stages.
Recognition of Weave Patterns of Striped Fabrics Using Optical Coherence Tomography
Authors: Sabuncu Metin , Özdemir Hakan
Published: July 2018

The recognition of woven fabric repeat by conventional techniques is labour intensive. In general, woven fabric repeat identification is accomplished automatically by employing complex algorithms and techniques. These algorithms may, however, occasionally fail, especially when dealing with high complexity texture patterns, structures, figures and colours. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has the capability of taking high resolution images via contactless measurements. In this paper we apply the spectral domain optical coherence tomography imaging technique for identifying striped woven fabric repeat automatically. OCT scans corresponding to four different fabrics, from which the weave matrixes were recognised, are reported in this study. Automatic identification of weave patterns of striped fabrics was accomplished non-destructively by employing optical coherence tomography.
Bevacizumab i cidofovir w leczeniu HPV-zależnej brodawczakowatości krtani – przegląd literatury
Authors: Jackowska Joanna , Piersiala Krzysztof , Klimza Hanna , Wierzbicka Małgorzata
Published: July 2018

Brodawczakowatość krtani to choroba wywoływana przez wirus brodawczaka ludzkiego (HPV) typu 6 lub 11, która dotyczy zarówno dzieci, jak i dorosłych. Cechą charakterystyczną tej jednostki chorobowej są łagodne brodawczaki – będące proliferującym nabłonkiem płaskim – w obrębie układu oddechowego oraz pokarmowego. Największym problemem w leczeniu brodawczakowatości jest wysoka częstość nawrotów po zastosowaniu leczenia chirurgicznego. Materiały i metody: Przeglądu literatury dokonano na podstawie dostępnych publikacji w bazach danych, tj. MedLine (US National Library of Medicine), PubMed oraz SciELO. Wszystkie publikacje w języku angielskim zostały poddane analizie (w tym badania przekrojowe, prospektywne, retrospektywne, przeglądy literatury oraz opisy przypadku). Wyniki: W najnowszej dostępnej literaturze rekomenduje się kilka sposobów leczenia brodawczakowatości krtani, w tym mechaniczny debulking za pomocą lasera CO2 oraz użycie terapii adjuwantowej. Śródnabłonkowe wstrzyknięcia bevacizumabu i cidofoviru wydłużają okresy pomiędzy kolejnymi zabiegami chirurgicznymi oraz zmniejszają liczbę koniecznych operacji w ciągu roku. Wnioski: Europejskie Towarzystwo Laryngologiczne (ELS) nadal nie jest zgodne co do przewagi zalet nad skutkami ubocznymi terapii adjuwantowej w brodawczakowatości krtani. Przegląd literatury natomiast wskazuje na obiecujące długoterminowe korzyści płynące z zastosowania tej terapii. Bevacizumab oraz cidovofir przynoszą największe efekty w leczeniu zwłaszcza agresywnej postaci brodawczakowatości.
Psychogenic voice disorders
Authors: Kosztyła-Hojna Bożena
Published: July 2018

Introduction. Voice express the psyche and personality of a person. Psychogenic dysphonia is called Phononeurosis. Neurosis, depression or family, occupational and social conflicts are the cause of voice disturbances. The most frequent type of dysphonia is hyperfunctional dysphonia, rarer – hypofunctional type.
Aim. The aim of this study is an analysis of voice quality and diagnosis of clinical type of psychogenic dysphonia.
Material and methods. The analyzed group consisted of 50 patients with voice disorders treated in 2017 and the control group – 30 people with physiological voice. In the diagnosed group 60% of patients were treated for neurosis, 12% due to depression, the others reported conflict situations. In the diagnosis of clinical type of psychogenic dysphonia GRBAS scale was used, maximum phonation time (MPT) and type of breathing were assessed. The visualisation of the larynx was performed using High Speed Digital Imaging (HSDI) technique. The parametric acoustic evaluation of voice was conducted.
Results. The most often clinical type of psychogenic dysphonia was hyperfunctional dysphonia, rarer hypofunctional type and vestibular voice. Dysphonia occurred the most often in women during the highest professional activity period. In the diagnosis of clinical type HSDI technique was especially useful allowing to visualization of the real vocal fold vibration and objective differentiation of hyper- and hypofunctional dysphonia. The acoustic analysis of the voice objectively confirmed the presence non-harmonic components – noise generated in the glottis in hypofunctional dysphonia. Disturbances in the way and breathing type caused irregularities in respiratory-phonic and articulation coordination.

Effect of health behaviors on presentation and condition of the skin – a preliminary report
Authors: Polkowska K. , Kowalewska B. , Krajewska-Kułak E.
Published: July 2018

Introduction: Skin condition is determined by multiple factors, among them some which are beyond human control. However, it can be also indirectly modulated by positive health behaviors and cosmetic procedures.
Objective: To analyze health behaviors and knowledge of factors determining skin condition among Polish university students.
Materials and methods: The diagnostic survey, based on a questionnaire developed by the authors, included a total of 75 respondents.
Results: The largest proportion of the study participants evaluated condition of their skin as moderate (41.3%). According to most respondents, skin condition is positively affected by balanced diet (78.7%), physical activity (68%), collagen (68%), calcium (41.3%) and diet rich in vegetables, fruits, fish, rice and grits. Up to 60% of the study subjects
declared present or past intake of dietary supplements, 44% used dedicated cosmetics for facial skincare, and 58.7% consumed 1-2 liters of fluids per day. Sweetened beverages, alcohol, excess of coffee, tea and herbal infusions were considered unfavorable for skin health, similar to stimulants, such as cigarettes, alcohol, drugs and coffee. Up to 38.7% of the respondents declared a sedentary lifestyle. In the participants’ opinion, stimulants (85.3%), lack of hygiene (76%), inappropriate fluid repletion (68%) and too low physical activity (62.7%) are the most harmful factors for skin health.
Conclusions: The study participants had basic knowledge of health behaviors and their beneficial or detrimental effects on the condition of human skin. The majority of the respondents used skincare cosmetics dedicated to a given body area.
MUSEUMS OF HIGH SCHOOLS IN POLAND
Authors: Zięba Katarzyna
Published: July 2018

The scientific conference “Identity and
Heritage. Museums of High Schools” held in Krakow, 22–24
November 2017, was a good occasion to learn more about
the institutions that look after the broadly defined academic
heritage. The legal status of high school museums have been
described in the article as well as the consequences thereof.
The results of research on such museums existing in Poland
have been presented. The study was conducted in 134 public
institutions of higher education; it focused on identifying
museum and academic collections, and their rank within an
organisational structure of the institution.
The analysis of collected data allowed to ascertain the
number of high school museums operating in Poland, which
is 68; they are administrated by 44 various high schools
(universities as well as schools of specialisation: technical,
medical, agricultural, economic, pedagogical, artistic). It has
been pointed out that in the years 2009–2018 as many as 17
new collections were initiated (some of them are still being
organised or changed their status after merging of institutions
or collections). As far as the museums’ place within an
organisational structure of the school is concerned, it has
been noted that the faculty museums are the most common
ones, followed by those of the general school-wide status.
The most important changes that academic museums are
presently facing have also been mentioned and described
herein, such as transformations of organisational and legal
aspects. Last but not least, the virtualisation of collections
has been identified as a current issue.

Pancreatic cysts or pancreatic cystic neoplasms? An analysis of 145 cases.
Authors: Oleśna Aleksandra , Wlaźlak Michał , Strzelczyk Janusz , Danilewicz Marian
Published: July 2018

Introduction
Frequency of detection of pancreatic cystic lesions increased recent years. The majorities are pseudocysts, the remaining cysts are mainly neoplasms. Proven risk of malignancy affects intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) and mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCN).
Material and methods
145 patients operated on at the Department of General and Transplant Surgery in Barlicki Hospital in Lodz, Poland, in 2007-2016 due to pancreatic cystic lesion. The type of surgery, histopathological diagnosis and basic demographic data were analyzed.
Results
Nonneoplastic cyst (mainly pseudocysts) was found in 66.9% of patients, neoplasms were detected in 33.1%. The mean age was significantly higher in patients with neoplasms than without neoplasm (57.06 years vs. 50.88 years, p = 0.009). Neoplastic cyst occurred more frequently in women (68.75% of women, 31.25% of men, p = 0.001), Nonneoplastic cyst was found significantly more often in men (64.95% of men, 35.05% of women, p = 0.001). Malignant tumor was found in 14.58% of neoplasms cases. Pancreatic resections in neoplastic cysts were performed in 77,08%. In patients with nonneoplastic cysts drainage operations were performed most frequently (80.41%).
Conclusions
Neoplastic cysts are more common in women. The average age in the group of patients
with neoplasms is higher than in the group with nonneoplastic cysts. In women with pancreatic cystic lesion without history for pancreatitis, the probability of neoplasms diagnosis is high.
Discussion
Pancreatic cystic tumors are treated radically due to the lack of sufficiently sensitive and specific pre-operative examinations. The natural history of mucinous neoplasms (IPMN and MCN) ranges from dysplasia to cancer. There are no guidelines that could be in satisfactory way used in follow up patients with pancreatic cysts.
On Plica Polonica and the forgotten Joseph Romain Louis Kerckhoffs (1789- 1867)

Whipple’s disease as a systemic infectious disease – a case presentation
Authors: Maciorkowska M. , Ustymowicz W. , Zakrzewski M. , Pryczynicz A. , Markowski A. , Romatowski J. , Guzińska-Ustymowicz K.
Published: July 2018

Introduction: Whipple’s disease is a chronic systemic infectious disorder with Tropheryma whipplei as an etiologic agent, occurring rarely and affecting numerous organs and systems. The variety of symptoms and a non-typical course make it difficult to establish a proper diagnosis.
Purpose: In this study, etiopathogenesis, diagnostics and treatment of Whipple’s disease were presented based on the case report of 60-year-old man diagnosed with Whipple’s disease.
Case presentation: Persistent diarrhoea with weight loss, lymphadenopathy in the abdominal cavity and moderate microcytic anemia predominated in the clinical picture. Diagnosis was put based on the clinical picture and macroscopic assessment of the small intestine and the presence of macrophages filled with a PAS-positive substance in the lamina propria. To deepen diagnostics, samples collected were assessed showing macrophages with the damaged mucosa, containing numerous elongated micro-organisms whose ultrastructure corresponded to Tropheryma whipplei. The patient’s clinical conditions improved after antibiotic therapy.
Conclusions: It is vital to remember about Whipple’s disease in patients with chronic diseases due to a non-specific clinical picture and difficulties in establishing a proper diagnosis. When the disease is diagnosed unequivocally, proper and effective antibiotic therapy should be instituted immediately.
A concurrent presentation of nonspecific colitis as well as likely myocarditis
Authors: Heavener T. , Jepson M. , Bushe B. , Thotakura S. , Chiles Ch
Published: July 2018

An ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction represents a time-sensitive cardiac pathology with utmost importance placed upon timely coronary angiography with percutaneous coronary intervention. While emphasis is placed on atherosclerotic or thrombotic coronary occlusion, it is important to recognize other etiologies which may present in a similar fashion. This case demonstrates a 71-year-old female patient with prior coronary artery disease and stenting who presented with acute abdominal pain and elevated cardiac biomarkers as well as ST-segment elevation on initial EKG. Coronary angiography revealed only mild to moderate coronary lesions and patent stents while echocardiography was essential unchanged from prior evaluation. Computed tomography of the abdomen would show findings suggestive of infectious colitis and empiric antibiotics led to full resolution of symptoms. While no definitive cause for her cardiac manifestations was discovered, the authors propose coronary vasospasm or myo-pericarditis as likely etiologies in response to an overwhelming inflammatory state. The case underscores the importance of formulating a comprehensive differential diagnosis during the initial workup of a ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
THE POLISH COMMITTEE’S OF NATIONAL
LIBERATION POLICY TOWARDS MUSEUMS
Authors: Hanula Justyna
Published: July 2018

After World War II museums in Poland were
bound to serve political purposes. The aim of new government
was to shape citizens’ awareness according to the
Stalinist ideology. 21 July 1944, the Polish Committee of
National Liberation (further PKWN) was created in Moscow
under the patronage of Joseph Stalin. From 1 August 1944,
it was located in Lublin together with its Arts and Culture
Department. The period from 21 July 1944 to the end of
December 1944 on the so-called liberated territories is discussed
herein in the context of museums’ formation. It was
the time when new institutions were created (e.g. Museum
of Majdanek Concentration Camp) and those existing prior
to WWII were re-established, such as the Lublin Museum
or the National Museum of Przemyśl. In 1944, museums
were facing many problems, inter alia, war damages, plunder
by the People’s Army that quartered here, financial
difficulties, personnel shortage. The lack of professionals
in museums was the result of the PKWN strategy at the
time, which first of all required propaganda specialists in
culture institutions. The land reform initiated in 1944 affected
museums to some extent; they were receiving works
of art which had been confiscated from parcelled out landed
properties. The only reason for it was the ideological one,
however – from the historical point of view – they are regarded
as unjust and immoral persecution and harassment
against groups of society held by the communists in contempt,
i.e. landowners.

Perspectives of pharmacological intervention promoting liver regeneration
Authors: Danilova Irina G. , Kalota Hanna , Abidov Musa T.
Published: July 2018

Effective drug therapy promoting liver regeneration is a challenging goal in pharmacotherapy
of liver diseases. Several plant phytochemicals recommended in traditional medicine from
over hundred plants have been investigated for its use in various liver disorders. Regeneration
of injured liver depend on a proliferative potential of mature hepatocytes as well as different
subsets of intrahepatic and extrahepatic stem/progenitor cells. In clinical trials a stem cell therapy
resulted in a limited improvement of liver functions. Animal studies have demonstrated
the involvement of bone marrow-derived stem/progenitor cells in liver regeneration. For this
reason, the pharmacological activation of endogenous stem cells and pharmacological control
of macrophage phenotypic polarization could be an effective method of mobilizing progenitor
cells to injured liver.
CATALOGUES OF ENGRAVINGS – ITALIAN ONES
FROM THE NATIONAL MUSEUM IN WROCŁAW
AND FRENCH ONES FROM THE NATIONAL
MUSEUM IN SZCZECIN
Authors: Guze Justyna
Published: July 2018

At the turn of 2017 and 2018, with the date
2017 printed in the colophon, two catalogues of engravings’
collections were published: old Italian prints from the
collection of the National Museum in Wrocław, and French
prints from the National Museum in Szczecin.
The collection of Wrocław contains groups of artworks
by the best Italian engravers from the Renaissance to the
18th century, and a small representation of the 19th century.
An introduction to the catalogue gives the history,
the scope and the contents of the collection as well as
the brief history of the engraving art on the Apennine
Peninsula. The catalogue itself is glossed, giving references
to the latest research, preceded by biographical
notes of encyclopaedic character. This well illustrated and
thoroughly edited catalogue, organised in a user-friendly
alphabetical order, is a compendium useful not only for
art historians.
The catalogue published by the National Museum in
Szczecin has the same title as the exhibition of French engravings
from its collection. It is a combination of both the
exhibition and the collection catalogue. Hence its specific
layout corresponding rather with the narration of an exhibition
than a catalogue’s criteria. Both the encyclopaedic
profiles of artists and the following glosses are accompanied
by selected bibliography; its full version together with
extensive academic references can be found at the end of
the volume. The collection of over 600 prints has been divided
not in alphabetical or chronological order but in accordance
with an academic hierarchy of subjects. Engravings
for art reproduction purposes prevail in Szczecin collection although original works of famous artists are also included.
The publication of both catalogues allows us to learn more
about the engravings in Polish public collections, i.e. the
ones of national museum in Szczecin and Wrocław. It also
gives the history of Polish collections after 1945, affected
by the previous losses of the World War II. Undoubtedly, the
sign of the times and the presence of Poland in the united
Europe is the publication of the Italian engravings’ collection
from Wrocław, which was kept before in the Academy
of Arts in Berlin. Great care has been taken to prepare both
catalogues in terms of their typography, although the illustrations
in the French engravings’ catalogue would be of
more benefit if were somewhat larger.

Published: July 2018

This publication concerns refugee children who are not adequately cared for by adults and come to foster care in Poland. "Unaccompanied foreign child" means a child who does not have Polish nationality and is without a statutory representative, i.e. a parent or a guardian. The publication contains information obtained through interviews conducted with three educators who are long-term employees of care and educational institutions in the Bialskie region. The subject of interest was the situation of unaccompanied minors coming to care and education institutions. The analyses included family situation of these children (along with the status of their parents), length of their stay in foster care, types of emerging educational and upbringing difficulties and the possibility of implementing intercultural education in a care and education institution.

The Power of Connections: The Influence of Electoral Systems on Economic Growth in Japan and South Korea
Authors: Bacovsky Pavel
Published: July 2018

Do formal political institutions, namely electoral systems, affect economic growth? Using data on South Korea and Japan, I investigate whether their electoral system reforms produced a significant change in the rate of economic growth. I find that both countries grew faster under SNTV than under other systems. SNTV allows for the formation of close ties between politicians and society. This, in turn, makes it easier for politicians to sell specific policy agendas to the citizens. I conclude that formal political institutions, especially the electoral system, affect economic growth and that SNTV was one of the key catalysts of both Japan’s and South Korea’s economic booms.

Book Review: Textbooks in Academic Libraries: Selection, Circulation, and Assessment
Authors: Maszaros Sue
Published: July 2018

Do textbooks have a place in academic libraries? Nearly all of the nine chapters in this text begins by addressing this question. Long-standing concerns about the acquisition and inclusion of print textbooks in the library’s collection, including cost, frequency of replacement, etc., are cited in many of the case studies presented here. What is interesting is that this diverse group of institutions, representing both small and large private and public universities, all reached the same conclusion: the textbook reserve program aids in student recruitment, retention, and success.

Objetivo: conhecer as características de idosos hospitalizados com fratura do fêmur e os fatores extrínsecos relacionados aos acidentes por quedas. Método: estudo transversal e descritivo, realizado no período de fevereiro de 2012 a fevereiro de 2013, com 108 idosos internados em um Hospital de médio porte do município de Pelotas devido a fratura do fêmur. As variáveis analisadas foram dados socioeconômicos e demográficos relacionados aos fatores extrínsecos de quedas em idosos. Resultados: a maior parte dos entrevistados eram aposentados, viúvos, sabiam ler e escrever e sofreram fratura do fêmur devido à queda em suas próprias residências. A maioria dos domicílios não possuía adaptações no seu interior e os tapetes disponíveis não eram antiderrapantes. Conclusão: os dados mostram que os acidentes por quedas na população idosa podem ser evitados com medidas simples, todavia se faz necessário uma avaliação da pessoa idosa e do ambiente em que vive, identificando os idosos com risco para quedas.

Conclusão: ampliar os estudos sobre doenças osteomusculares e o absenteísmo são fundamentais para a melhoria das condições de trabalho na enfermagem.
Comunicación estratégica integral frente a publicidad tradicional
Authors: Carretero Velasco María José , Rangel Pérez Celia
Published: July 2018

Advertising as we used to know it is very different from the publicity carried out today, and that which is predicted for the near future. The economic crisis and changes in technology have meant that nothing which used to work is effective today. Communication cannot be the same because society has changed and so has the relationship between consumers and companies. We want to discover what works now in order to identify possible paths which communication professionals may take in the future. In order to do this, we have studied the winning campaigns of the 2014 El Sol Advertising Festival in the ‘Integrated Campaigns’ section. This was the last section to be created but it now opens the list of winners. In this study we will define the elements which characterize these campaigns, analyze the mechanisms of integration in the different marketing areas and study if new communication channels are being implemented in order to be more attractive or effective for the consumer. This is carried out using quantitative analysis (elements used to achieve a greater impact) and qualitative analysis (of each campaign and the function of each element and all the campaigns together in order to find common elements and check if the function is the same). As a result, we believe that we could be experiencing a new omnichannel model of advertising which integrates different areas of communication in order to achieve business objectives, not only communicative ones. Research and preparatory work before creation, together with strategic planning, are much more important than until these last few years and this is reflected in campaigns.
Reputación corporativa de marcas globales del sector de la cerveza: el caso Heineken
Authors: Casado Molina Ana María , Salazar de Funes Paula
Published: July 2018

In the beer industry, the trend of consumers in each country is to trust mainly locally produced brands where they live. In this way, local brands gain a more favorable reputation than other international firms. Taking this into account, the aim of this research is to establish the corporate reputation of international beer brands versus local brands, specifically the case of the Heineken brand in local markets is analyzed. The empirical research compares the perception of Heineken in its city of origin, Groningen, with a non-original city of another country. In order to know about the reputation of this brand in both cities, firstly, the main indexes and variables that measure the corporate reputation have been studied through secondary sources. Secondly, we carried out a survey adapted to the cultural and socio-economic context of the two samples: local university students of the city of origin and of a non-original city where this brand is present. As a result of this research, it has been shown that the global corporate brand, Heineken, is a brand leader not only in its hometown, but also in other local markets. It has been detected that its good corporate reputation in the different cities is determined by its association with its product brand «Heineken» and not with other local brands acquired by this firm as a strategy to reach its international positioning. This research shows that a brand of beer can achieve international leadership not only through local brand acquisition strategies, as has traditionally been the case in this industry, but also through a global brand communication strategy that contributes to promote its corporate reputation in the markets where this brand wants to operate.
La gestión de las marcas y los valores en el turbulento contexto de la comunicación
Authors: Benavides Delgado Juan
Published: July 2018

The present article gives a brief summary of the main factors that affect brand management in an increasingly globalized, highly unstable and conflictive market. The inclusion of a «value concept» into the brand management has further complicated communicational matters, mainly because it has introduced contents and management models that cannot always be communicated by use of traditional branding tools. The value demands not only new ways of thinking about communication but also new models that require commitment of both political institutions and society as a whole. This value expresses the necessity of applying a new paradigm that implies a change in the way we understand business and the universe of corporate communications.

An advanced monolithic cup comprising a thin liner and a trabecular coating is a promising alternative to the current modular ceramic cups for hip replacements because it can be anchored directly to the human bone and features larger femoral heads allowing a greater range of motion. In this study, the authors propose a fabrication route for an advanced monolithic cup of only one high‐strength ceramic material by joining a partially sintered liner and a coating with a ceramic paste as an intermediate layer and subsequent sintering. The challenge here is to avoid the formation of defects at the coating/intermediate layer interfaces during classical sintering which is due to compressive tension constrained coating sintering in the initial sintering stages. In this study, the defect formation is minimized by sintering at constant low shrinkage rates, as this results in favorable compressive stresses in the coating in the initial sintering stages and a decrease in the differences in the densification rates. For the first time, by using the proposed route, the authors prepare an advanced monolithic cup of only alumina‐toughened zirconia (ATZ) that contains a coating with a porosity of 50 vol% and interconnected pores between 150 and 450 μm, as required for bone‐ingrowth.

Zeolitic imidazolate framework‐8 (ZIF‐8) is an attractive metal organic framework (MOF) in drug delivery. Strong interaction between drugs and ZIF‐8 is essential for high drug loadings through in situ construction of MOFs. However, only limited drugs with unique functional groups (COOH, SO3H, et al.) can interact with ZIF‐8 and be encapsulated satisfactorily so far. Drugs without these functional groups are difficult to be loaded due to the lack of strong interaction. Herein a versatile prodrug strategy is proposed to solve the problems encountered by MOFs. Cytarabine (Ara) is chosen as a model drug since it cannot be loaded in ZIF‐8 satisfactorily by itself. New indocyanine green (IR820) is utilized to bond with Ara for the formation of prodrug (Ara‐IR820) and endows the prodrug with fluorescence imaging‐guided chemo‐photothermal therapy, in which sulfonic groups strengthen the interaction between prodrug and ZIF‐8. This prodrug loaded ZIF‐8 is further functionalized with hyaluronic acid (HA) to result in active‐targeting HA/Ara‐IR820@ZIF‐8 nanoparticles. The in vitro and in vivo results demonstrate its excellent visual cancer therapy with tumor‐targeted and pH‐responsive release behavior. This design offers a new concept to solve the drug loading problem of MOFs, exhibiting a flexible strategy to expand the biomedical applications of MOFs.

Movement and morphing in biological systems provide insights into the materials and mechanisms that may enable the development of advanced engineering structures. The nastic motion of plants in response to environmental stimuli, e.g., the rapid closure of the Venus flytrap's leaves, utilizes snap‐through instabilities originating from anisotropic deformation of plant tissues. In contrast, ballistic tongue projection of chameleon is attributed to direct mechanical energy transformation by stretching elastic tissues in advance of rapid projection to achieve higher speed and power output. Here, a bioinspired trilayered bistable all‐polymer laminate containing dielectric elastomers (DEs) is reported, which double as both structural and active materials. It is demonstrated that the prestress and laminating strategy induces tunable bistability, while the electromechanical response of the DE film enables reversible shape transition and morphing. Electrical actuation of bistable structures obviates the need for continuous application of electric field to sustain their transformed state. The experimental results are qualitatively consistent with our theoretical analyses of prestrain‐dependent shape and bistability.

The emerging field of nanomagnonics utilizes high‐frequency waves of magnetization—spin waves—for the transmission and processing of information on the nanoscale. The advent of spin‐transfer torque has spurred significant advances in nanomagnonics, by enabling highly efficient local spin wave generation in magnonic nanodevices. Furthermore, the recent emergence of spin‐orbitronics, which utilizes spin–orbit interaction as the source of spin torque, has provided a unique ability to exert spin torque over spatially extended areas of magnonic structures, enabling enhanced spin wave transmission. Here, it is experimentally demonstrated that these advances can be efficiently combined. The same spin–orbit torque mechanism is utilized for the generation of propagating spin waves, and for the long‐range enhancement of their propagation, in a single integrated nanomagnonic device. The demonstrated system exhibits a controllable directional asymmetry of spin wave emission, which is highly beneficial for applications in nonreciprocal magnonic logic and neuromorphic computing.

Zinc‐ion batteries are under current research focus because of their uniqueness in low cost and high safety. However, it is still desirable to improve the rate performance by improving the Zn2+ (de)intercalation kinetics and long‐cycle stability by eliminating the dendrite formation problem. Herein, the first paradigm of a high‐rate and ultrastable flexible quasi‐solid‐state zinc‐ion battery is constructed from a novel 2D ultrathin layered zinc orthovanadate array cathode, a Zn array anode supported by a conductive porous graphene foam, and a gel electrolyte. The nanoarray structure for both electrodes assures the high rate capability and alleviates the dendrite growth. The flexible Zn‐ion battery has a depth of discharge of ≈100% for the cathode and 66% for the anode, and delivers an impressive high‐rate of 50 C (discharge in 60 s), long‐term durability of 2000 cycles at 20 C, and unprecedented energy density ≈115 Wh kg−1, together with a peak power density ≈5.1 kW kg−1 (calculation includes masses of cathode, anode, and current collectors). First principles calculations and quantitative kinetics analysis show that the high‐rate and stable properties are correlated with the 2D fast ion‐migration pathways and the introduced intercalation pseudocapacitance.

Metal‐network electrodes (MNEs) are excellent substitutes to the brittle and expensive indium tin oxide (ITO) films for flexible and transparent electronic devices. For a high transmittance and low resistivity, highly ordered metal wire arrays with suitable gap and width are essential. Here, high‐orderly and dimension‐controllable ultrathin/conformal MNEs are fabricated on µm thick/curved substrate via programmable electrohydrodynamic (EHD) lithography. By employing EHD direct‐writing, large‐scale high‐resolution photoresist micro/nano‐pattern can be digitally printed on ultrathin/curved substrates, as the digital mask in chemical etching process. The Au MNEs show transmittance of 94.3% (at 600 nm optical wavelength) and sheet resistance of 36.7 Ω□−1 with the optimum pattern which can be adjusted by theoretical analysis. MNEs fabricated on ultrathin polymeric substrate (≈1.5 µm thickness) can even be hanged on a hair. A flexible and transparent touch panel with MNEs exhibits excellent mechanical durability on a small‐bending radius. Additionally, the MNEs are mounted on a fingertip as a “fingertip mouse”, which is perfectly conformal with fingerprints and can successfully control the computer directly by two fingers. Not limited to planar devices, the MNEs also can be perfectly fabricated on a nonplanar glass and form a transparent conformal heater.

Active and cost‐effective catalyst materials are required for electrochemical CO2 reduction reactions (CO2RR) which, to date, are proving elusive. Here, the direct electrochemical conversion of CO2 to liquid products with a high overall Faradaic efficiency (FE) by utilizing a unique 3D, heterostructured copper electrode (referred as Cu sandwich) that is obtained via a simple two‐step treatment of commercially available copper foam is reported. The designed catalyst achieves an FE toward liquid products of >50% at an applied potential as low as −0.3 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode. The improved selectivity of the heterostructured Cu sandwich electrode at low overpotentials is attributed to the greater exposure of engineered Cu+/Cu2+ interfaces (present on composite nanowires) and higher oxygen vacancy defects. Moreover, the rationally designed heterostructures prevent the Cu2O species from being reduced during CO2RR enabling the catalyst to demonstrate enhanced CO2RR activity with prolonged stability.
