One-dollar medications: evaluating the true cost
Authors: Shea Leticia A. , Sorauf Kellen J. , Polson Ksenia S. , Calderon Bianca , Poupard Marlee , Zolnir-Groshong Alex
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Dollar stores offer access to medications. Reports of adulteration and violations of good manufacturing practice (GMP) of the medications sold at these stores raise concern. Additionally, medications may be used inappropriately for self-treatment, resulting in suboptimal care and safety concerns. Is the cost of one-dollar medications truly a cost saving for consumers?
Methods: This was a cross-sectional evaluation of medications sold in dollar stores. Medications were reviewed from December 2018 through July 2021. Researchers evaluated price comparisons of medications sold in dollar stores in comparison to those sold in pharmacies, assessed the quantity of the medication products from the manufacturer that had committed violations of GMP, and conducted a qualitative analysis of the safety of the medications for self- treatment with respect to current guidelines. Mann-Whitney U price analysis was performed between dollar store products and generic pharmacy products.
Results: The cost per unit of pain medication was significantly higher for purchases at dollar stores (Mdn = 0.045) in comparison to generic pain medications sold in pharmacies (Mdn = 0.030), W = 251.5,  p = 0.013. There was no statistical difference in the costs of all other medications. The majority of the medications (59%) were from the manufacturer that had committed violations of GMP. Only second-line treatment options were available, providing suboptimal treatments and increased risks for adverse effects and poorer control of symptoms.
Conclusion: Consumers are not attaining a cost benefit when purchasing dollar store medications. Medications sold in settings in which a healthcare professional is not accessible should be limited to acute use dosing in place of packaging for chronic use. Additionally, further research is needed to determine if the violations determined for medications sold at the dollar store have been remedied.

Published: November 2022

Ülkemizde meydana gelen doğa kaynaklı bir afet olan çığdan dolayı can ve mal kayıpları yaşanabilmektedir. İklimsel koşullar ve topoğrafik etmenlerden ötürü Hakkâri İlinde geçmişten günümüze birçok çığ olayı yaşanmış ve yöre halkına ciddi kayıplar yaşatmıştır. Kaydedilen çığ vakaları dikkate alındığında Hakkâri İli 52 çığ afetine maruz kalarak ülke çapında bu afeti en fazla yaşayan illerden birisidir. Afet türüne ait parametrelerin ağırlık değerlerinin literatür verilerine göre belirlenmesi ve işlenmesi tehlike boyutunun anlaşılması açısından hayati öneme sahiptir. Çığ oluşumuna neden olan eğim, yükseklik, bakı, arazi kullanımı ve eğrisellik parametreleri bu çalışmada esas alınmıştır. Arazi kullanımı CORİNE–CLC-2012 verilerinden, eğim, bakı ve eğrisellik haritaları ise sayısal yükseklik modelinden elde edilmiştir. Gerçekleştirilen bu çalışmada puanlama yöntemi ile 7.095 〖km〗^2 yüzölçümüne sahip olan Hakkâri İlinin çığ tehlikesi ortaya konulmuştur. Tehlike haritasına bakıldığında yerleşim birimlerini etkileyecek çığ patikalarının yüksek oranda olduğu görülmüştür. Bu alanlar özellikle Hakkâri İlinin güneyi ve Hakkâri İli ile Şemdinli ilçesi arasındadır. Bu anlamda gerçekleştirilen bu çalışmada gelecekte oluşması muhtemel risklerin değerlendirilebilmesi, azaltılması, önleyici tedbirlerin alınması için bir altlık oluşturması ve karar vericileri yönlendirmesi amaçlanmıştır.
¿Qué puede hacer la acogida? Aperturas, disputas y críticas en los movimientos sociales por los derechos de las personas migrantes en el Estado español
Authors: Ramírez-March Álvaro , Montenegro Marisela
Published: November 2022

Este artículo explora cómo la figura de la “acogida” ha adquirido una relevancia especial para los movimientos sociales por los derechos de las personas migrantes (MSDPM) que surgen después del año 2015 en el Estado español. Para ello, partimos describiendo el contexto en el que surgen estos movimientos sociales, definido por la declaración de la llamada “crisis de los refugiados” y los recientes cambios en el panorama de la protección internacional En un segundo momento, planteamos que el término de la acogida ha trascendido su origen en las políticas públicas y se ha convertido en una plataforma sobre la cual los MSDPM despliegan distintas formas de acción política. Esta idea se desarrolla en las últimas 3 secciones del texto, donde exploramos las oportunidades, tensiones y contradicciones de una política articulada por la acogida.
L’acollida “on the move” de la infància i joventut que migra sola a Catalunya. Una visió des dels i les professionals
Authors: Freixa Montserrat , Sànchez Angelina , Venceslao Marta , Vilà Ruth
Published: November 2022

Els processos d’acollida del sistema de pro­tecció a la infància esdevenen el punt inicial de l’acompanyament de la infància i joven­tut que migra sola i del desenvolupament posterior dels seus itineraris socioeduca­tius. Mitjançant entrevistes semiestructura­des, s’ha recollit la visió de 15 educadors i educadores de diferents centres, recursos i organitzacions del sistema de protecció de Catalunya desplegats, principalment, amb l’Estratègia catalana per a l’acollida i la inclusió. Els resultats dibuixen un sistema d’acollida protocol·litzat que es mou en una “doble bipolaritat normativa” com a “menors susceptibles de protecció” i, a la vegada, com a subjectes de control migratori. L’anàlisi de l’experiència viscuda per aquesta infància des de la visió de les i els professionals que els acompanyen posa de relleu situacions de mobilitat i immobilitat múltiples i permet entreveure els significats ocults i atribuïts de la seva materialització. Mentre transiten pel sistema d’acollida es troben amb nombroses “portes” que re­forcen l’efecte embut condicionant els seus itineraris i traduint-se, en masses ocasions, en situacions d’exclusió. Des de l’atenció socioeducativa es conclou que l’acollida ha de possibilitar la construcció de vincles per ressituar-la, dignificar-la i entendre les rela­cions de poder que la condicionen.

Evaluation of modified semi– micro method for estimation of glucose using GOD POD endpoint assay
Authors: VINCY SHERAFIN JANCY , Chandrasekar Mathialagan
Published: November 2022

ABSTRACT  
The present study evaluated a modified semi-micro (SMic) protocol with conventional macro (CMac) protocol for serum glucose level estimation using a semi-autoanalyser. Three hundred blood samples were collected from patients (ages 22 to 84) of Loyola Health Centre, Chennai. Each serum sample was aliquoted into two tubes, one for CMac protocol and the other for SMic protocol. Blood Glucose was estimated by GOD-POD endpoint assay for both methods using a semi-autoanalyser. Mann-Whitney U test revealed Kappa value 0.901 (se = 0.036) at 95% confidence interval for kappa = 0.831 to 0.971 and showed no significant differences (p < 0.0001) between two protocol. The SMic protocol reduces the test cost and provides an opportunity to screen many samples with fewer reagents. We conclude that SMic can be used as an alternative to CMac protocol to estimate serum glucose concentrations in diabetic patients.
Keywords: Serum glucose, diabetes mellitus, semi-auto analyser, SMic, CMac, GOD-POD.

2 - Variations in Postcolonial Imagination: Reflection on Senghor, Nyerere and Nkrumah
Authors: Adesina Jimi O.
Published: November 2022

This article aims to strengthen contemporary efforts to construct and pursue a pan-African agenda by interrogating the postcolonial imaginings of Léopold Sédar Senghor, Julius Nyerere and Kwame Nkrumah. To counter the present-day tendency to erase and flatten the diversity of this period, the article explores the variations and similarities of the three leaders’ approaches to socialism, pan-African unity, nationhood, economic development, epistemology and democracy. Through this contrast, the article derives some broad lessons for the contemporary period, including the importance of cultivating domestic resources (human, material and financial) rather than being dependent on external forces; the need for countries to construct a macro-vision that coordinates their economic, social and political projects; and the importance of maintaining sovereignty of thought in policy thinking on the continent to effectively break free from the universal, market-based prescriptions that now dominate under neoliberalism.

3 - The Rocket in the Haystack: Between Nasser’s Developmental Vision and the Neo-Imperialist Mission
Authors: Megahed Kareem , Ghannam Omar
Published: November 2022

This article assesses Gamal Abdel Nasser’s efforts to transform Egypt’s postcolonial economy via his industrialisation policies, drawing lessons for today from both his successes and shortcomings. By analysing outcomes through indicators of industrial production, employment patterns, productivity, and main beneficiaries in the post-independence period, the article critiques Nasser’s incremental approach, the undermining of workers’ movements, and the limiting nature of ‘state feminism’, which contributed to the failure to achieve full economic and political independence, leading to its eventual collapse in the face of imperialist resurgence. Nasser’s industrialisation project, however, does demonstrate the superiority of active policy intervention, particularly of planning and import-substitution- industrialisation, and suggests the need to pursue central planning, economic inclusion, self-sufficiency, and social production aimed at meeting the material needs of the population in the contemporary period.

Protocolos de Familia
Authors: Guzmán Vásquez Alexander , Trujillo Dávila María Andrea , Del Hierro Hoyos José Elías , Higuera Rodríguez Mónica Paola , Hoyos Vargas Felipe , Márquez Arango Diego Felipe , Mejía Londoño María Paz , Téllez Wilches Juliana
Published: November 2022

Este libro constituye un documento relevante para las empresas familiares y sus grupos de interés pues analiza específicamente los protocolos de familia como mecanismo de gobierno corporativo y familiar. Inicialmente se plantea una discusión detallada respecto de las posiciones teóricas y de las investigaciones en la materia, y luego, mediante un minucioso análisis de diferentes protocolos de familia, se delinean las principales consideraciones que emergen y que son tenidas en cuenta en el proceso de estructuración de esos documentos. Se recogen, entre otros aspectos, las principales motivaciones que llevan a una familia a realizar un protocolo, la comprensión de su significado y alcance, los principales apartes que lo componen, y el rol del asesor externo en el acompañamiento a la familia. Además, se presentan y explican las herramientas que le permiten a las familias gestionar la sucesión tanto patrimonial como gerencial, aspecto crucial en la supervivencia de ese tipo de empresas. Posteriormente se aborda la gestión del capital humano en las empresas familiares y su importancia para proveer lineamientos claros respecto de los niveles de involucramiento de la familia en la organización. Se analiza igualmente el componente emocional de la familia, el cual se hace explícito en el protocolo y enmarca el actuar de sus miembros actuales y futuros, así como los principales mecanismos de gobierno familiar y corporativo, entre ellos, el consejo de familia, la asamblea de familia y la junta directiva, sus propósitos, composición, funcionamiento e interrelación con las dinámicas familiares en el contexto de la empresa. Por último, se hace explícito el carácter vinculante de los protocolos y su debida instrumentalización al concebirse como un contrato –acuerdo de accionistas– que, mediante el tipo societario S.A.S., tiene fuerza legal para dirimir potenciales desacuerdos o incumplimiento de lo especificado dentro del protocolo.
A Comprehensive History of Folklore Research in Britain
Authors: Shukla Viral
Published: November 2022

I feel immense pleasure in putting this work into the hands of researchers of folklore. My journey into folklore, which started with performances took a shape during my doctoral research where I compared folktales of Britain and Saurashtra. This write-up is result of my endeavours to understand the inception and advancement of literary researchers in folktales within the region of Britain. Throughout my research, I came across numerous prominent historical evaluations and publications that made note of the folkloristic activities in the United Kingdom. The British Folklorists by Richard Dorson deserves special note, but none of the other works on the subject provide an in-depth treatment of the subject. There are many books and/or research papers accessible on the history of folklore in Britain, but there are only a few books and/or research papers available that outline a full picture of folklore study/research. This book attempts to capture, without pretending to be exhaustive or flawless, the accomplishments in the field of collection and research in the United Kingdom. Despite the fact that South Ireland has never been a part of the United Kingdom, it has been included in this review because folklore does not consider political issues and frontiers. An introductory chronological assessment of folklore activity in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales would be presented in this book so that researchers can find an exact timeline of the folkloric activities in Britain; besides, the list of works will also enable them to find a particular work with reference to its region and genre. I am greatly thankful to my teachers and friends whose constant inspiration and support made this work possible. I cannot forget to thank my students who made the tedious work of charts extremely easy for me. Their hard-work shall be truly rewarded if this book is helpful to any researcher in any capacity.
Nocturia as a clinical indicator of severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and its response to CPAP or surgical treatment
Authors: Labra Alberto , Roldan-Navarro Montserrat , Haro-Valencia Reyes , Sánchez-Narvaez Francisco , Ruiz-Morales Mauricio
Published: November 2022

Introduction Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a common condition that has been associated to a number of metabolic, cardiovascular and cognitive consequences. Its diagnosis relies on a polysomnographic or polygraphic study, but clinical findings remain as an important part of the diagnostic process. Nocturia is a common symptom that may indicate severe OSAS, but it is often forgotten in the initial evaluation of these kind of patients. Positive airway pressure (CPAP) is known to reduce nocturia, but the roll of surgery is not clear about it.

Material and Methods A case series is presented. We compare 2 groups of male adults with severe OSAS, the first group treated with CPAP for 3 months, while group 2 underwent a multilevel surgical management. Apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and the nocturia events number (NEN) were assessed before and after the treatment. Frequencies, descriptive statistics and a related sample Student’s t-test were performed for statistical analysis.

Results 97 male patients were included, age ranged from 29 to 71 years old. In group 1, treated with CPAP, AHI mean was 54.59 and nocturia mean 4.53 before treatment. With CPAP, the AHI mean was 6.63 and NEN mean 0.51. In group 2, AHI mean before surgery was 40.02, NEN mean 3.78, and after the surgical management AHI mean was 7.74 and NEN mean 0.7. Student’s t-test in groups 1 and 2 showed a p=0.000.

Conclusions AHI and NEN were clearly related in both groups, and the improvement of NEN and AHI were consistent in both groups, the CPAP and the surgical treatment. The presence of a NEN value of 4-5 may be an indicator of severe OSAS and should always be clinically evaluated.
Correlation between snoring sounds and obstructive sleep apnea in adults: a meta-regression analysis
Authors: Chiang Jui-Kun , Lin Yen-Chang , Lu Chih-Ming , Kao Yee-Hsin
Published: November 2022

Objective Snoring is a dominant clinical symptom in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and analyzing snoring sounds might be a potential alternative to polysomnography (PSG) for the assessment of OSA. This study aimed to systematically examine the correlation between the snoring sounds and the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) as the measures of OSA severity.

Material and Methods A comprehensive literature review using the MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and PubMed databases identified the published studies reporting the correlations between and severity of snoring and the AHI values by meta-regression analysis.

Results In total, 13 studies involving 3,153 adult patients were included in this study. The pooled correlation coefficient for snoring sounds and AHI values was 0.71 (95%CI: 0.49, 0.85) from the random-effects meta-analysis with the Knapp and Hartung adjustment. The I
2 and chi-square Q test demonstrated significant heterogeneity (97.6% and p<0.001). After adjusting for the effects of the other covariates, the mean value of the Fisher’s r-to-z transformed correlation coefficient would have 0.80 less by the snoring rate (95%CI = -1.02, -0.57), 1.46 less by the snoring index (95%CI = -1.85, -1.07), and 0.21 less in the mean body mass index (95%CI = -0.31, -0.11), but 0.15 more in the mean age (95%CI = 0.10, 0.20). It fitted the data very well (R
2=0.9641).

Conclusion A high correlation between the severity of snoring and the AHI was found in the studies with PSG. As compared to the snoring rate and the snoring index, the snoring intensity, the snoring frequency, and the snoring time interval index were more sensitive measures for the severity of snoring.
Transmethodological mo(ve)ments
Authors: Khawaja Iram , Mørck Line Lerche
Published: November 2022

This article presents the authors’ collaboration with a former gang leader, referred to as X, as part of a research project exploring identity transformation and mo(ve)ments beyond gang engagement. The project is based on a transmethodological approach that involves different embodied researcher positionalities, theoretical engagements, and a merging of diverse research fields. The exploration of the different movements and changes in X’s life is based on, what we call a transmethodological mo(ve)ment ethnography, exploring mo(ve)ments of transformation of identity, engagement and community in the everyday life of X, who is striving to become a good, practicing Muslim. This approach makes it possible to go into depth with key moments of change in a subject’s life and pursue them from different theoretical perspectives by integrating and transgressing concepts, analytical gazes and positionalities. To analyze and understand the former gang leader’s life and process of transformation, we utilize poststructuralist and decolonial theory and integrate these approaches with those of social practice theory and critical psychology. In this article, we examine how we as researchers can transverse different theoretical and embodied positionings, analyzing transmethodology as closely linked to the positioning of the researcher, and ultimately pointing towards an emancipatory form of research practice.
Microprediction
Authors: Cotton Peter
Published: November 2022

How a web-scale network of autonomous micromanagers can challenge the AI revolution and combat the high cost of quantitative business optimization.

The artificial intelligence (AI) revolution is leaving behind small businesses and organizations that cannot afford in-house teams of data scientists. In Microprediction, Peter Cotton examines the repeated quantitative tasks that drive business optimization from the perspectives of economics, statistics, decision making under uncertainty, and privacy concerns. He asks what things currently described as AI are not “microprediction,” whether microprediction is an individual or collective activity, and how we can produce and distribute high-quality microprediction at low cost. The world is missing a public utility, he concludes, while companies are missing an important strategic approach that would enable them to benefit—and also give back.

In an engaging, colloquial style, Cotton argues that market-inspired “superminds” are likely to be very effective compared with other orchestration mechanisms in the domain of microprediction. He presents an ambitious yet practical alternative to the expensive “artisan” data science that currently drains money from firms. Challenging the machine learning revolution and exposing a contradiction at its heart, he offers engineers a new liberty: no longer reliant on quantitative experts, they are free to create intelligent applications using general-purpose application programming interfaces (APIs) and libraries. He describes work underway to encourage this approach, one that he says might someday prove to be as valuable to businesses—and society at large—as the internet.

A new species of the genus Pangasius, is described based on 17 specimens collected from the Cauvery River, India. It can be distinguished from its sister species from South and Southeast Asia, by its widely placed, small and rounded vomerine and palatine tooth plates, longer maxillary and mandibular barbels, greater vertebrae count 50 (vs. 44–48), and smaller caudal peduncle depth (6.5–8.2% SL vs. 9.89–13.09% SL). The tooth plates of the new species closely resembles that of Pangasius macronema but can be clearly distinguished from the latter by having lesser gill rakers (16–19 vs. 36–45); a smaller eye (2.4–4.4% SL vs. 5.2–9.6% SL); and larger adipose-fin base (1.5–2.9% SL vs. 0.1–1.2% SL). The mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase (COI) gene sequence of the new species shows the genetic divergence of 3.5% and 5.1% from P. pangasius and P. silasi respectively, the two sister species found in South Asia and India. The species delimitation approaches, Poisson Tree Processes (PTP) and assemble species by automatic partitioning (ASAP) clearly resolved that the P. icaria is distinct from its sister species. Phylogenetic position of the species with its sister species was evaluated using maximum likelihood and Bayesian analysis. The discovery of this previously unknown species of genus Pangasius from the Cauvery River of peninsular India indicates important biogeographical insight that this genus migrated till the southern division of Western Ghats.

El presente trabajo aborda cuestiones relacionadas con el fomento del espíritu crítico a través de una perspectiva de género y su inclusión en los planes de estudio de Traducción e Interpretación en España. Tomando como ejemplo el grado en Traducción y Mediación Interlingüística de la Universitat de València, se examina la necesidad de abordar la didáctica de la traducción teniendo en cuenta el sesgo de género presente en textos, discursos y encargos profesionales de los futuros egresados en traducción. A través del proyecto de innovación VOICED, se detalla una experiencia en el aula centrada en el desarrollo de una sensibilidad de género ligada al propio autoconcepto del traductor/traductora que le permita tomar decisiones conscientes de manera crítica acerca de aquellas estrategias lingü.sticas y discursivas que pueden, o no, perpetuar asimetrías de poder en la sociedad actual. Se presentan, asimismo, los resultados del proyecto y las percepciones del alumnado, que ponen en evidencia su voluntad de incorporar una perspectiva de género a la didáctica de la traducción y la escasa formación que estos reciben en materia de género.

Published: November 2022

En el marco de la lingüística de corpus aplicada a la traducción, nos proponemos ilustrar en este trabajo cómo compilar un corpus especializado mediante la herramienta BootCaT y cómo explotarlo posteriormente para resolver algunos de los problemas planteados al traducir del italiano al español un contrato de agencia. En concreto, el corpus ad hoc creado mediante esta herramienta nos servirá para abordar problemas de tipo terminológico, conceptual y textual. Los resultados de la experiencia nos demuestran que utilizar un programa que automatice en parte el proceso de construcción de un corpus supone un ahorro muy significativo en términos de esfuerzo y tiempo requeridos por el traductor, a la vez que deja perfectamente limpio y preparado el material que posteriormente podrá ser explotado por cualquier programa de gestión de corpus como, por ejemplo, AntConc 3.4.4w. Recorrer este camino permitirá asimismo poner a prueba algunas de las subcompetencias que conforman la competencia traductora, a saber, las subcompetencias temática, comunicativa, textual, instrumental y profesional.

Treatment of Hypertension

Published: November 2022

Importance

Hypertension, defined as persistent systolic blood pressure (SBP) at least 130 mm Hg or diastolic BP (DBP) at least 80 mm Hg, affects approximately 116 million adults in the US and more than 1 billion adults worldwide. Hypertension is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) events (coronary heart disease, heart failure, and stroke) and death.

Observations

First-line therapy for hypertension is lifestyle modification, including weight loss, healthy dietary pattern that includes low sodium and high potassium intake, physical activity, and moderation or elimination of alcohol consumption. The BP-lowering effects of individual lifestyle components are partially additive and enhance the efficacy of pharmacologic therapy. The decision to initiate antihypertensive medication should be based on the level of BP and the presence of high atherosclerotic CVD risk. First-line drug therapy for hypertension consists of a thiazide or thiazidelike diuretic such as hydrochlorothiazide or chlorthalidone, an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker such as enalapril or candesartan, and a calcium channel blocker such as amlodipine and should be titrated according to office and home SBP/DBP levels to achieve in most people an SBP/DBP target (<130/80 mm Hg for adults <65 years and SBP <130 mm Hg in adults ≥65 years). Randomized clinical trials have established the efficacy of BP lowering to reduce the risk of CVD morbidity and mortality. An SBP reduction of 10 mm Hg decreases risk of CVD events by approximately 20% to 30%. Despite the benefits of BP control, only 44% of US adults with hypertension have their SBP/DBP controlled to less than 140/90 mm Hg.

Conclusions and Relevance

Hypertension affects approximately 116 million adults in the US and more than 1 billion adults worldwide and is a leading cause of CVD morbidity and mortality. First-line therapy for hypertension is lifestyle modification, consisting of weight loss, dietary sodium reduction and potassium supplementation, healthy dietary pattern, physical activity, and limited alcohol consumption. When drug therapy is required, first-line therapies are thiazide or thiazidelike diuretics, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blockers, and calcium channel blockers.

Layered heterostructures of different 2D building blocks have invigorated the booming of 2D materials toward high‐performance optoelectronic devices. However, contrary to the typical artificial multi‐component form, the engineering of non‐artificial layered heterostructure into single‐phase crystals and resultant properties are largely overlooked. Here, for the first time, an inch‐sized single crystal of a non‐artificial layered heterostructure is exploited, (PbBr2)2(AMTP)2PbBr4 (1, AMTP is 4‐ammoniomethyltetrahydropyran), serving as polarization‐sensitive candidate. Notably, it adopts an interleaved architecture of 2D perovskite slabs with the distinct non‐perovskite lattice, thus forming a self‐assembled perovskite‐intergrowth layered heterostructure. This motif leads to new electronic transitions distributed across two sublattices and affords an inherent in‐plane anisotropy ratio of ≈1.6, beyond some known inorganic materials (e.g., GeSe: 1.44; GeAs: 1.49). Combining this in‐plane anisotropy and wide bandgap (≈2.9 eV), lateral crystal array of 1 enables shortwave polarized‐light detection with ultrahigh responsivity and detectivity under weak illumination compared to some inorganic polarized detectors. As the first demonstration of inch‐sized single crystals of non‐artificial layered heterostructure, this study affords a new platform to explore candidates toward high‐performance optoelectronic devices.

Development of nano‐structured metal oxides/heteroatom composites with controlled components and structure for photochemical oxidation still remains a great challenge. Here, a new and versatile strategy is reported for transformation of organonitrogen‐encapsulated metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) into N‐doped Fe3O4@C nanopolyhedron by chemical vapor deposition‐induced super‐assembly method. Strong confined interaction between organonitrogen guests (urea, thiourea, melamine, and dimethylimidazole) and Fe nodes of MOFs realizes reconstruction of crystal structure and introduction of N species. With the novel approach, the uniform dispersion of guests and perfect metallic/heteroatom interfacial is obtained. Compared with MOFs‐derived Fe2O3/C, the heteroatom/defect‐to‐metal cluster charge transfer excitations lead N‐doped Fe3O4@C to exhibit more superior activity for photocatalytic oxidation (turn‐over frequencies as high as 3.72 h−1). It demonstrates that the introduction of abundant pyrrole‐N and oxygen vacancies on carbon interface boosts the advance of photo‐generated carrier transfer. The study offers a simple and promising strategy for the design of novel metal oxides/heteroatom composite with adjustable structure and functions.

Published: November 2022

Flexible strain sensing in wearables and textiles, employs simple resistive sensor elements which suffer from high hysteresis. Textile compatible capacitive strain sensors that have low hysteresis and negligible cross‐axis sensitivity will be ideal for sensing human movement and shape change. In this work, a non‐MEMS based flexible interdigital capacitive strain sensor is proposed. The proffered sensor is built using flexible elastomer material with stitched conductive threads serving as internal and external contacts thereby making the sensor easily customizable. The developed sensor is amenable for fabrication using large scale textile sensor manufacturing techniques. The low sensitivity due to the low dielectric constant of most elastomers is addressed by employing high dielectric constant additives while molding the elastomer sections. The developed sensor is virtually insensitive to cross‐axis strain by design and is capable of withstanding stretching up to 160%. The prototype sensor built and tested has a sensitivity of and portrays a worst‐case nonlinearity error of <±2.9%. An application, where the developed sensor was stitched on to a glove to sense finger movement is presented and discussed. The proposed fully stitch‐able sensors have the versatility to perform fabric‐based wearable strain sensing for body shape and movement analysis.

Published: November 2022

Physics‐driven discovery in an autonomous experiment has emerged as a dream application of machine learning in physical sciences. Here, this work develops and experimentally implements a deep kernel learning (DKL) workflow combining the correlative prediction of the target functional response and its uncertainty from the structure, and physics‐based selection of acquisition function, which autonomously guides the navigation of the image space. Compared to classical Bayesian optimization (BO) methods, this approach allows to capture the complex spatial features present in the images of realistic materials, and dynamically learn structure–property relationships. In combination with the flexible scalarizer function that allows to ascribe the degree of physical interest to predicted spectra, this enables physical discovery in automated experiment. Here, this approach is illustrated for nanoplasmonic studies of nanoparticles and experimentally implemented in a truly autonomous fashion for bulk‐ and edge plasmon discovery in MnPS3, a lesser‐known beam‐sensitive layered 2D material. This approach is universal, can be directly used as‐is with any specimen, and is expected to be applicable to any probe‐based microscopic techniques including other STEM modalities, scanning probe microscopies, chemical, and optical imaging.

Transition metal dichalcogenides with high theoretical capacity usually suffer from poor intrinsic electronic conductivity and drastic volumetric change upon cycling, degrading their attractiveness for electrochemical high‐power and long‐term applications. Herein, a high‐efficiency and extensible synthetic strategy for in situ encapsulating nanostructured SnSe0.5S0.5 into N‐doped graphene (SnSe0.5S0.5 @ NG) by robust interfacial CSeSn bonds with formation of 3D porous network nanohybrids, is reported. Systematic electrochemical studies indicate that interface and structure engineering on SnSe0.5S0.5, including defects implantation, chemical bonding interaction, and nanospace confinement design, endow it with robust structural stability, ultrafast Na+ storage kinetics, and highly reversible redox reaction. In addition, the introduction of foreign Se ligand not only facilitates the transport of electrons/ions by enhancing the conductivity and decreasing the diffusion energy barrier but also generates more reactivity sites, as demonstrated by density functional theory calculations. By virtue of these superiorities, the SnSe0.5S0.5 @ NG exhibits superior sodium storage performance with high‐rate capability and long durability over 2000 cycles at 2 A g−1. Impressively, the full battery, when coupling SnSe0.5S0.5 @ NG anode with Na3V2(PO4)3/C cathode, can deliver high energy density of 213 Wh kg−1. This work provides an effective structural engineering strategy to design advanced electrode material with potential application for sodium‐ion batteries.
