Published: December 2023

Threading dislocation density (TDD) in a Ge heteroepitaxial film on Si is reduced based on a dislocation trapping mechanism in a patterned substrate. An array of V-shaped grooves on the submicron scale is patterned in the [110] direction on a (001) Si substrate. Epitaxial growth of Ge with a thickness of 1 μm by CVD realizes a reasonable flat surface despite the non-flat starting surface. The TDD in Ge for a V-shaped groove pattern of 0.5 μm in width with an inter-groove distance of 0.3 μm is obtained as low as 4 × 107 cm–2, which is lower than about 6 × 107 cm–2 for the rectangular one with the same groove width and inter-groove distance and about 22 × 107 cm–2 for the unpatterned one. The reduction is attributed to the dislocation trapping at the groove regions, as observed by cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy.

Published: December 2023

We examine the influence of doping profile optimization on the trade-off relationship between modulation bandwidth and optical loss in an InP-organic hybrid (IOH) optical modulator, comparing it with a Si-organic hybrid (SOH) optical modulator. By incorporating the RF transmission line model, which enables a more precise modulation bandwidth analysis than the RC constant model, we demonstrate that the IOH modulator can achieve a modulation bandwidth of over 500 GHz with a 2 dB loss, capitalizing on the higher electron mobility of InP. In contrast, the SOH modulator cannot attain a 200 GHz modulation bandwidth with acceptable optical loss. Furthermore, we explore the potential for further enhancing the modulation bandwidth of the IOH modulator by shortening its length, making the IOH modulator a promising candidate for future ultra-high-speed optical modulation.

Published: December 2023

In this study, we have developed a high-precision ultrasonic water flow meter with a 0.18 μm standard CMOS technology. Three methods are proposed to improve the performance: implementation of an active bandpass filter, threshold voltage optimization, and integration of a multi-phase time-zooming technique. The active bandpass filter effectively reduces noise in the received signal, thereby contributing to the overall accuracy of propagation measurements. Based on a threshold voltage generator, our proposed system identifies the optimum threshold voltage, ensuring robust noise durability. Furthermore, we have extended the conventional time-zooming technique by incorporating multiple phases of internal clocks. This innovative multiphase time-zooming technique offers a theoretical improvement in time resolution. The results demonstrate a remarkable suppression of flow rate measurement variations, achieving an impressive reduction to 1/10 of the original values. This affirms the effectiveness of the developed ultrasonic water flow meter in ensuring precise and reliable flow rate measurements.
Rate equation analysis for deterministic and unidirectional lasing in ring resonators with an S-shaped coupler
Authors: Dai Zhiwei , Lin Wenbo , Iwamoto Satoshi
Published: December 2023

Ring resonators are traditionally popular optical devices that apply to various components in photonic ICs. They also play an important role in the on-chip generation of many novel optical states in topological systems and non-Hermitian systems. Unidirectional lasing of ring resonators is used in many such systems to create exotic states of light including optical vortexes and optical skyrmions, but the unidirectional behavior has not been fully understood. Previous research has constructed a simplified model to explain the steady state behaviors of unidirectional ring resonators, but the carrier dynamics and spontaneous emission were omitted. In this work, we give a numerical analysis of unidirectional ring resonators with an S-shaped coupler. We identified the importance of the gain saturation to robustness against backscattering and high unidirectionality by comparing to the model without saturation. We also discuss the effect of asymmetrical coupling on the deterministic realization of unidirectionality.

, this RRAM integrates well with advanced CMOS logic circuits. Additionally, this device can be put into a unique diode state (DS) with asymmetric IV characteristics after specific operations. By placing the device in its DS, sneak current paths can be effectively suppress to allow the realization of 1 R cross-bar array. Hence, the newly proposed cell provides a distinct advantage of integrating RRAM cross-bar array by top metal structures. This high-density array structure, featuring compact cell sizes, can be produced without the requirement for additional masks or processes. Moreover, as the density increases, it demonstrates reduced operational voltages and accelerated operating speeds.
Porcine reproductive and neonatal infections: Importance and threats of bacterial virophoria
Authors: Buzun A. I. , Kolchyk O. V. , Paliy A. P.
Published: December 2023

The provisions of the doctrine of transfer the epizootic process of dangerous viral infections to the enzootic process and their rooting in pig production through the integration of their pathogen into the pig microbiome in the form of comorbid viral and bacterial infections are substantiated. The aim of the study is to systematize the bacterial virophoria in the epizootology of porcine reproductive and neonatal infections (PRNI) as a component of the enzootic cycle of emergent infections in the pig industry of Ukraine. Classical swine fever (CSF) virus: attenuated strain ‘IECVM 03’; Aujeszky’s disease (AD) virus: epizootic strains of Ukrainian origin of AD virus ‘18v UNDIEV’; Teschen disease (TD) virus: epizootic strain ‘Bucha’. Epizootic strains: pasteurella bacteria, streptococcus, lacto- and bifidobacteria. According to the results of the study, it was found that the rotating magnetic field of the right direction promoted the adsorption of the CSF virus on pasteurella cells. The Aujeszky’s disease virus was adsorbed on the bacteria Salmonella choleraesuis No. 34, Bacterium bifidum and Lactobacillus casei with an efficiency of 15–45% in the pH range of 8.5–9.5, at neutral pH (7.4) no more than 1.5% of the virus was adsorbed, and at acidic pH (3.0) the AD virus was not adsorbed et all. On bacteria Pasteurella multocida No. 7, AD virus was adsorbed in the pH range of 8.5–9.5 with an efficiency of no more than 1.5%; at neutral pH (7.4), up to 50% of the virus was adsorbed, and at acidic pH (3.0), no more than 1.5% of AD virus was adsorbed. The interaction of TD virus with bifidobacteria inhibited viral reproduction in the body of infected polecats, but preserved the reproductive activity of teschovirus in the presence of streptococci. The rooting of dangerous viral infections (AD and TD, circovirus and parvovirus infections, reproductive and respiratory syndrome, and endemic porcine diarrhea) in pig production has always been accompanied by the ‘engraftment’ of their pathogens in the microbiome of pig production facilities in the form of comorbid (i. e. clinically manifested) and/or associated infections (i. e. similar to the group of Minimal Residual Human Diseases — Maladie Résiduelle Minimale, MRD). A key role in the establishment of these diseases and the formation of their stationary centers in pig production is played by the virophoria of bacteria synergistic with their pathogens, in particular as part of the etiologic microflora of reproductive and neonatal infections in pigs

Published: December 2023

Recently, wheat research has been established in Ethiopia for irrigated areas with the goal of developing high-yielding, higher-quality wheat cultivars. Nonetheless, two of the most crucial production variables are the N rate and the seeding rate, both of which need for the determination of ideal rates. Hence, a field experiment was conducted to determine the optimum N rate and seeding rate for bread wheat production under irrigated conditions in West Shewa highland areas during 2020–21 on different soil types. A factorial combination of seeding rates (125, 150, and 175 kg/ha) and N rates (0, 23, 46, 89, and 111 kg/ha N) with consideration of 19 kg of N content in 100 kg NPS fertilizer that was applied uniformly for all experimental plots except for those without fertilizer (zero rate plot) at sowing. The experiment was laid out in an RCB design with three replications. Most of the interactions were non-significant for grain yield and other parameters, while the main effects of seeding rates and N rates showed a significant effect on grain yield and other parameters measured. The highest test weight, agronomic efficiency, and partial factor productivity were recorded for the black soil type. Agronomic efficiency showed an unpredictable trend, while partial factor productivity showed a decreasing trend with an increasing seeding rate and N rate. Depending on the agronomic and economic analysis results, it can be concluded that a seeding rate of 175 kg/ha and an N rate of 111 kg/ha were found to be optimal for the production of the wheat variety ‘Kakaba’ under irrigation in the highlands of west Shewa.

Background: In myocardial revascularisation procedures, the underutilisation of the right internal mammary artery remains a concern. This study aimed to compare outcomes between using the right internal mammary artery (RIMA) and the great saphenous vein (GSV) as secondary conduits in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG), focusing on early and mid-term postoperative results. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 270 patients who underwent CABG between November 2015 and January 2023 at Mohamed VI University Hospital was conducted. Patients were divided into RIMA and GSV groups for comparative analysis. Results: There were no significant differences in the preoperative characteristics of the study population. Patients in the RIMA group had lower cardiopulmonary bypass time and aortic cross-clamping time (110.70±34.08 vs 127.45±31.17: p<0.00 and 77.67±26.31 vs 82.93±23.66: p<0.00, respectively). The use of GSV was associated with more significant bleeding compared to RIMA (570.46±403.66 vs 761.40±647: p<0.00). However, there were no significant differences in the occurrence of deep sternal wound infection (3.24% vs 4.31%: p=0.8945) between the two groups. Regarding early mortality rates, there was no significant difference observed (5.19% vs 2.58%: p=0.4458). Mid-term results showed no difference in the recurrence of angina and dyspnea between the groups. Conclusion: The study indicated that RIMA used as a secondary graft in CABG wasn't linked to sternal wound infection or bleeding, suggesting its superiority as a graft choice. The findings aligned with prior research, advocating for the benefits of employing RIMA in myocardial revascularization.

Authors: Azad Mohammad
Published: December 2023

Anxiety and despair have spread like wildfire with the COVID-19 pandemic. Studies on mental health undertaken during the pandemic have revealed rising rates of suicidality and indications of acute stress and depression. The national laws on travel and quarantine have made attending these routine checkups harder and less practicable. The fast use of telehealth during the epidemic has accelerated the need to address the moral difficulties of using electronic treatments for mental illness. However, the urgent need for socially detached mental health care should not be used to weaken regulations and practices that safeguard individuals from receiving inadequate mental health care or having their personal information misused, raising several ethical concerns for the professionals providing these services. This study aims to provide a theoretical analysis of some of the pressing ethical concerns surrounding online healthcare delivery during COVID-19, which include privacy and data protection, safety and accountability, and access and fairness. Consequently a robust moral framework will be searched for solving some moral dilemmas in this context.

Published: December 2023

Benefiting from the progression of science and technology, an increasing number of enterprises begin to delve into the construction of corporate identity through their official websites, regarded as an international door today. The researches about the building of corporate images takes a large amount of shareholdings in academic area. Notwithstanding, there are only few scholars studying the portray of the profile from an intercultural perspective with “About us” section in company websites as the data. With the help of the corpus analytic tool AntConc, this paper intends to discuss the common and distinctive corporate identities of Fin-Tech unicorns in China and the US respectively which are manifested in high-frequency vocabulary, key words, communication strategy and style. It is discovered that the common identities include international financial technology companies, payment services provider and caring about consumers. Apart from this, CF takes the mixture of proactive and reactive strategy in building its images and tends to be more impersonal and hierarchical in communication style. The proactive strategy and casual communication style constitute to the construction of UF’s identities. From the cultural perspective, CF expresses all of the cultural dimensions specific in China except that of masculinity and femininity and the situation of UF is the same with CF. CF should endeavor to narrow the cultural gap thorough applying effective intercultural communication strategies and keep in line with the local culture. In this way, CF might be able to grab the chances along with the advance of globalization.

This research aims to examine the influence of effective tax rates, the existence of transactions with Tax Haven countries, and the aggressiveness of transfer pricing on tax avoidance. This research observed 115 public and private companies in all areas of the Indonesian Tax Authority whose tax disputes over transfer pricing cases had been decided by the Indonesian Tax Court for the 2017-2022 period. This research was carried out using a quantitative approach with cross section data which was then analyzed using multiple regression analysis using the Eviews 12 application. The secondary data for this research came from Financial Reports, Court Decisions and Tax Annual Corporate Reports which had received approval from the Directorate General of Taxes and used initials so as to avoid violations of official secrets. The results of this study indicate that the effective tax rate has an influence but is not significant on tax avoidance. This shows that the effective tax rate or large tax burden of companies, most of which are foreign owned, has not been able to encourage these companies to avoid tax. On the other hand, the existence of transactions with Tax Haven countries and the aggressiveness of transfer pricing have a positive and significant effect on corporate tax avoidance. These results indicate that there are transactions with affiliates in Tax Haven countries and the more aggressive the company is in its transfer pricing policy, it indicates that there is a strong motive to avoid tax.

Published: December 2023

One crucial factor that affects a person's well-being is their level of financial satisfaction. This study aims to create a research model based on technology, financial literacy, financial inclusion, and financial satisfaction. This research data was obtained from questionnaires distributed to communities in Cilacap and Banyumas, consisting of 110 people. The data obtained were analyzed using SmartPLS Ver 3.2.9 software. The study shows that financial inclusion is driven by financial technology and financial literacy. There is a positive correlation between financial satisfaction and financial inclusion. Financial satisfaction and financial literacy are positively correlated. Nevertheless, there is no relationship between fintech and financial satisfaction. In addition, this study found that financial inclusion could mediate the relationship of financial technology to financial satisfaction. However, financial inclusion cannot mediate financial literacy with financial satisfaction. The results of this research are expected to be helpful for the community and government. The public can increase financial literacy and fintech to optimize financial inclusion. In addition to the community, the government or stakeholders also maximize the availability of access to various quality formal financial services to achieve a 90% financial inclusion index target in 2024 to improve public welfare. The results of this study can be a suggestion for future researchers to find several other factors that affect financial satisfaction.

Published: December 2023

Background: Researchers now have unprecedented access to low-latency data at affordable prices thanks to social media's widespread acceptance and continuous use. Given how often food is discussed and uploaded on social media, nutrition research may find this to be of special interest. Objectives: To summarize current published evidence on the impact of social media on fast food consumption and increased bad nutritional habits. Methods: PubMed, SCOPUS, Web of Science, and Science Direct were systematically searched for relevant literature. Rayyan QRCI was employed throughout this comprehensive process. Results & Interpretation: We included six studies with a total of 10988 participants, and 5899 (53.7%) were females. The reported rate of using social media ranged from 72.9% [15] to 95.9% [17]. The average daily usage of social media and the choices and behaviours related to fast food were found to be strongly correlated. The activity that most negatively impacted children's eating habits was watching food videos. Due to the previously identified connections between conventional forms of food marketing and children's eating habits, food marketing is controlled or prohibited in the majority of Western nations. In general, social media has a negative impact on people's relationship with food and how they view their bodies.

Problems of the formation of the Old Russian state in the works of Alexander Magnus Fromgold von Reitz
Authors: Volk-Leonovich Stanislav
Published: December 2023

The article notes the main points of the biography of one of the key figures of Russian historical and legal science — A. M. F. Reitz, and also analyzes the work he published in 1829, called “An Experience in the History of Russian Law”. The scientist examines the process of formation of state characteristics in the context of the evolution of tribal institutions under the influence of a number of external and internal factors (which are analyzed in this article). In particular, according to the scientist, evolution is determined by demographic processes; the growth of the population united by clan ties within the boundaries of one settlement entails the transformation of the patriarchal power of the tribe leader into the collegial power of clan elders. The scientist also points to acute social contradictions as one of the significant reasons for the emergence of the state.

A. M. F. Reitz, developing ideas previously expressed by his predecessors Professors I. G. Neumann and I. F. G. Evers, sees not the individual power of the Grand Duke in the Old Russian state, like European monarchs, but collective suzerainty; questions the established point of view in Russian historiography about the establishment of the power of the eldest in the family in the early period of the existence of the Old Russian state.

The scientist considers inheritance and will as the basis for the legitimate transit of power; power is retained within one clan and its transfer is regulated by rules similar to the rules of inheritance law. The scientist defined the Old Russian state by its form of government as an absolute monarchy and, following I. F. G. Evers, defined the Old Russian state by its territorial structure as a union state created through an agreement of princes, and not by a natural unification of territories.

A síndrome do intestino irritável (SII) emerge como uma condição extenuante, amplamente disseminada em escala global, gerando impactos significativos na qualidade de vida dos indivíduos e nos custos associados à saúde pública. Tendo em vista que o padrão alimentar exerce uma influência significativa na modulação da microbiota intestinal, é possível inferir que a intervenção na dieta emerge como uma alternativa viável para o tratamento da SII. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o impacto de uma dieta baixa em FODMAPS no tratamento da SII. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura para avaliar a eficácia da adoção de uma dieta baixa em FODMAPS no tratamento da Síndrome do Intestino Irritável. A dieta low FODMAPs tem se destacado como uma abordagem promissora no manejo da Síndrome do Intestino Irritável (SII). Ao restringir a ingestão de determinados carboidratos fermentáveis, essa estratégia busca aliviar os sintomas gastrointestinais incômodos associados à SII, como dor abdominal, distensão e irregularidades intestinais. Embora a dieta low FODMAPs apresente benefícios notáveis, são necessárias pesquisas adicionais para compreender completamente seus efeitos a longo prazo e otimizar suas diretrizes, contribuindo assim para uma gestão mais eficaz da Síndrome do Intestino Irritável.

The management of largescale industrial systems has several criteria, such as ensuring high productivity, low production costs and the least environmental impact. These criteria must be established for all subsystems of the largescale system. The study is devoted to the development of a hierarchical control system that meets several criteria and allows for separate optimization of each subsystem. Multicriteria optimization is based on the processing of data characterizing production processes, which made it possible to organize a multidimensional statistical control process. Using neural networks to model technological processes and DPCA to reduce the dimensionality of control problems allows us to find more efficient solutions. Using the example of a twolevel hierarchy, we showed a variant of communication by parameters between two subsystems.
