Self-mention in Chinese linguistic MA novices’ and experts’ academic writing: A corpus-driven investigation of ‘we’
Authors: Han Hao , Dugalich Natalia Mikhailovna
Published: April 2024

The research aims to conduct a comparative analysis of self-mention, particularly the usage of self-mention ‘we’, as a means of academic persuasion between Chinese linguistic MA novices and linguistic experts. Self-mentions serve various rhetorical functions in academic persuasion. However, for second language writers, mastering these rhetorical functions represents an advanced writing skill, which is contingent upon a proficient command of the structural aspects of self-mention phrases. In light of this issue, this study undertakes a collocation and chunk analysis. The objective is to analyze the collocation characteristics and chunk features of self-mention ‘we’ in international journal articles (ILJA_C) and Chinese MA theses (CLMA_C). This objective informs the choice of the research subject – identifying similarities and differences in the utilization of self-mention ‘we’ in two databases: ILJA_C and CLMA_C. This study’s methodology utilizes a corpus-driven approach alongside comparative academic discourse analysis within academic writing. The novelty of this research lies in its investigation of the collocation characteristics and chunk features of self-mention ‘we’ in CLMA_C and ILJA_C. This study represents a substantial contribution to the fields of second language acquisition and comparative linguistics by enhancing our understanding of self-mention in academic persuasion. Findings reveal significant disparities in the usage of ‘we’ between Chinese MA novices and linguistic experts. Novices tend to focus on constructing discourse logic, whereas experts prioritize establishing academic positions. Analysis of chunk structures exposes varying approaches to discourse and interpersonal functions, underscoring the necessity for novices to emulate expert usage patterns.

Gukurahundi Crimes Against Humanity in Zimbabwe? An Evaluative Investigation
Authors: Malunga Siphosami
Published: April 2024

Between 1983 and 1986, the Zimbabwean government deployed the 5th Brigade of the Zimbabwe National Army (ZNA) to the provinces of Matabeleland and Midlands in an operation known as Gukurahundi. The stated aim of the Brigade’s operation was to combat dissidents—armed groups of men, comprising former ZIPRA combatants who had deserted the ZNA alleging that they were being discriminated against and attacked within the ZNA. Also, there were allegations that some were even killed. Instead, the 5th Brigade committed heinous atrocities against civilians in the two provinces. Within six weeks of arriving in Matabeleland North, 2, 000 civilians had been killed. Thousands more were raped, tortured, enforcedly disappeared and their homesteads and property burnt and destroyed. In four years, an estimated 20, 000 people had been killed in an operation covering Matabeleland and Midlands. Despite being presented with documented evidence of atrocities, including through its own Chihambakwe Commission of Enquiry on the disturbances in Matabeleland, the government of Zimbabwe denied that its army had committed atrocities and refused to publish the Commission’s findings. A political settlement between ZANU and ZAPU in 1987 ended the atrocities. The perpetrators of atrocities were pardoned, and there was no accountability or justice for victims. This article examines the Gukurahundi atrocities and evaluates whether they meet the requirements of crimes against humanity (CAH) under international law. The article has three objectives. First, to provide an overview of crimes against humanity, including their origins and historical evolution and development. Second, to examine the contextual, physical and mental elements of CAH. Finally, to evaluate whether the Gukurahundi atrocities meet the legal requirements for the enumerated acts of crimes against humanity. The prohibition of CAH carries an international obligation to investigate, prosecute and punish the crimes. If the 5th Brigade is found to have committed CAH, the perpetrators are liable to be investigated, prosecuted and punished under international law.
Procurement Rules Governing Public–Private Partnerships for Infrastructure in Zimbabwe and South Africa—A Stakeholder Analysis
Authors: Gumbu Takunda
Published: April 2024

This study delves into the critical, but often overlooked aspect of stakeholder management within Public–Private Partnerships (PPPs) based infrastructure projects in Zimbabwe and South Africa. It explores the diverse stakeholder interests in PPP projects by comparatively analysing PPP procurement rules in Zimbabwe and South Africa, through the lens of the stakeholder theory. The study reveals a disparity in the role of procurement rules in managing stakeholder interests in both countries. Zimbabwe’s recently enacted PPP procurement rules fall short of PPP stakeholder management standards. However, South Africa’s procurement rules have been improved over two decades to make them more comprehensive and pro-active. The findings show that PPP procurement rules in both countries play a critical role in averting project failure caused by conflicting stakeholder interests. Nonetheless, there is a need for more robust regulatory regimes in both countries that account for conflicting interests to prevent project failure and fulfil the social welfare objectives of PPPs. Overall, effective stakeholder management in PPPs can bridge the infrastructure gap and improve the economic prospects of both countries.

Authors:   Department of Environmental Health Science, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Nigeria, EC Obiano
Published: April 2024

Anambra State, South-East Nigeria, had high prevalence of HIV averaging 7.1% during period under study. In line with national guidelines, the State established 117 Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) centers designed to function as ‘gateway’ service to other HIV/AIDS services in the State. This study assessed the effectiveness of VCT centers as ‘gateway’ to other HIV/ AIDS services in Anambra State for the period 2006 to 2011 using the client flow recorded by the VCT centers. Descriptive documentary survey was adopted. Secondary data comprising of client flows of the VCT centers were collected. The data were presented in tables as integrated annual summary reports, and analysed as percentages, comparison, and for significance using Chi-Square Test of Significance @ 0.05. It was found that average annual client flows of 1.89% at the VCT centers were not significant. Inference was drawn and conclusion made that VCT service, for the years under study, was not an effective gateway to other HIV/AIDS services in Anambra State. The study recommends a paradigm shift to Universal Counseling and Testing involving, among other features; focus on provider-initiated counseling and testing and liberalization of the location of UCT centers in other public places with high client catchment potentials such as Government Secretariats.
A Universal Framework for Fast, Flexible and Fun(ctional) Autonomous Laboratories

Published: April 2024

The construction of autonomous chemical laboratories is complex, laborious, and expensive. It is imperative to develop highly usable, flexible, and powerful development framework to unify efforts. Current platforms have high adoption barriers, whether through their high price of adoption, high complexity to implement, or limited implementation on diverse hardware and software systems. Furthermore, there are no studies to date which examine the practical usability of current platforms with state-of-the-art scientific studies. In this work we engineer a new, flexible laboratory automation platform (FLAB) to resolve these issues. With a unique, user-centric and agile approach, we develop this platform through eight different experimental studies, which represent the broad spectrum of activities in the integration of chemical laboratories and artificial intelligence. By beginning with a generalized, modular architecture in Python, each study created a generalized feature that evolved the platform’s utility and ease of use. Such features include advanced methods for synchronous processing, data manipulation and a user-interface for rapid prototyping. Ultimately, this study yields a simpler, more accessible and powerful toolset for the creation of autonomous chemical laboratories.
Prospective Chalcohalide Perovskites: Pursuing the Synthesis of CsBiSCl2 Nanocrystals
Authors: Quarta Danila , Tobaldi David , Giansante Carlo
Published: April 2024

Heavy pnictogen chalcohalides are often referred to as lead-free, perovskite-inspired materials. Despite theoretical predictions, incontrovertible experimental demonstrations of heavy pnictogen chalcohalides adopting a perovskite structure are lacking. Here we report our attempts to prepare CsBiSCl2 adopting a perovskite structure as colloidal nanocrystals. Synthesis of nanoscale materials can indeed rely on fast, non-equilibrium reactions and on large, eventually thermodynamically favorable surface energies, leading to the possibility of stabilizing kinetically-trapped or metastable phases. However, we obtained no CsBiSCl2, but a mixture of nanocrystals of secondary phases, namely Cs3BiCl6 submicrometric polyhedra, Bi2S3 nanoscopic rods, and Cs3Bi2Cl9 nanoscopic dots, whose low polydispersity enabled an effective separation via size/shape selective precipitation. This work confirms that heavy pnictogen chalcohalides are hardly prone to adopt a perovskite structure. Nevertheless, chemistry at the nanoscale offers multiple possibilities to overcoming phase segregation and pursuing the synthesis of prospective mixed anion compounds.
Alignment and Actuation of Liquid Crystals via 3D Confinement and Two-Photon Laser Printing
Authors: Hsu Li-Yun , Gomez Melo Santiago , Vazquez-Martel Clara , Spiegel Christoph A. , Ziebert Falko , Schwarz Ulrich S. , Blasco Eva
Published: April 2024

While three-dimensional (3D) printing of materials has become standard practice for many applications, the extension into the time domain (four-dimensional (4D) printing) poses new challenges, including the use of appropriate (stimuli)-responsive materials and a design that leads to their desired responses. Liquid crystalline (LC) materials have been demonstrated to be versatile for the preparation of active 3D microstructures using two-photon laser printing. To achieve the desired actuation, the alignment of the LC material has to be controlled during the printing process. In most case studied to date, the alignment relied on surface modifications and therefore complex alignment patterns and concomitant actuation were not possible. Here, we introduce a novel strategy for spatially aligning LC domains in three-dimensional space by utilizing 3D-printed polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-based microscaffolds as confinement barriers, which induce the desired director field. The director field resulting from the boundary conditions is calculated with Landau de Gennes theory and validated by comparing experimentally measured and theoretically predicted birefringence patterns. We demonstrate our procedures for structures of varying complexity, starting from planar and radial alignments, but then going into complex alignment patterns in 3D that vary also in z-direction. We then used two-photon laser printing to fabricate microstructures of desired shapes with the prescribed orientation patterns. The 4D printed microstructures show the desired actuation as predicted from the alignment pattern using a combination of liquid crystal and elasticity theories implemented with the finite element method. Overall, we obtain excellent agreement between theory and experiment. This opens the door for rational design of 4D (micro)printing of LCEs in the future.
2-in-1 Phase Space Sampling for Calculating the Absorption Spectrum of the Hydrated Electron

The investigation of vibrational effects on absorption spectrum calculations often employs Wigner sampling or thermal sampling. While Wigner sampling incorporates zero-point energy, it may not be suitable for flexible systems. Thermal sampling is applicable to anharmonic systems, yet it treats nuclei classically. The application of Generalized Smoothed Trajectory Analysis (GSTA) as a post-processing method allows for the incorporation of nuclear quantum effects, combining the advantages of both sampling methods. We demonstrate this approach in computing the absorption spectrum of the hydrated electron. Theoretical exploration of the hydrated electron and its embryonic forms, such as water cluster anions, poses a significant challenge due to the diffusivity of the excess electron and the continuous motion of water molecules. In many previous studies, the wave nature of atomic nuclei is often neglected, despite the substantial impact of nuclear quantum effects on thermodynamic and spectroscopic properties, particularly for hydrogen atoms. In our studies, we examine these nuclear quantum effects for the excess electron in various water systems. We obtained structures from mixed classical-quantum simulations for water cluster anions and the hydrated electron, incorporating the quantum effects of atomic nuclei with the filtration of the classical trajectories. Absorption spectra were determined at different theoretical levels. Our results indicate significant nuclear quantum effects, redshift and broadening of the spectra for hydrated electron systems. This study demonstrates the applicability of GSTA to complex systems, providing insights into nuclear quantum effects on energetic and structural properties.

With the advent of novel polymers, organic solar cell (OSC) research has evolved significantly over the past decade. The molecular engineering of terpolymers has allowed for simple morphological control in binary devices over ternary blends, with the highest power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) exceeding 18%. However, research on the stability of OSCs is still lagging behind. In this regard, we examined the thermal stability of a series of terpolymers comprising one electron donor (thienyl-substituted benzodithiophene, BDTT) and two types of electron acceptors namely fluorobenzotriazole (FTAZ) and thienothiophene-capped diketopyrrolopyrrole (TTDPP) and their blends with PC71BM. The terpolymers demonstrated broad absorbance ranging from below 350 nm to 900 nm. The thermal stability of the terpolymers was investigated as pristine thin films and as bulk heterojunction (BHJ) films of the terpolymers blended with PC71BM by heating at 85 ◦C. We observed that thermal degradation had no sizeable effect on the properties of the pristine terpolymers while the blended films demonstrated significant changes in their morphology due to the inclusion and aggregation of PC71BM. After thermal annealing at 85 ◦C, the width of the symmetric C=C stretching Raman mode and the C=C/C–C intensity ratio of pristine terpolymers and terpolymer:PC71BM thin films revealed that incorporation of the FTAZ acceptor improves the thermal stability of the BHJ active layers. Furthermore, prolonged thermal annealing times (> 3 hours) resulted in the development of PC71BM aggregates and terpolymer decomposition with no evident changes in the molecular and chemical structure of the terpolymers. Our findings indicate that by gradually annealing the blended films using an appropriate annealing time, the diffusion of PC71BM molecules to form aggregates can be carefully regulated, resulting in a nanostructure critical to the efficiency of organic solar cells.

The ability to provide impromptu piano accompaniment is a crucial skill that music teachers in primary and secondary schools must possess. Enhancing the accompaniment skills of music majors in colleges and universities is a focal point of the “new normal” compulsory courses. Drawing on data analysis and research from a questionnaire survey on impromptu accompaniment in some universities in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, this paper demonstrates that multidimensional, multi-channel, and diversified curriculum reform is essential for improving teaching effectiveness and achieving educational objectives. The paper also proposes suggestions and ideas for curriculum reform and the construction of an online impromptu accompaniment course learning platform for reference.

It was emphasized that “only with high-quality teachers will there be high-quality education.” In the new stage of development, China’s basic education shoulders the heavy responsibility of the times, and there is an urgent need to comprehensively promote the construction of high-quality teachers at the new historical starting point. Teacher ethics is directly related to the quality of students’ character and comprehensive development and is also an inevitable requirement for promoting the construction of high-quality teachers. The current school-based construction of teacher ethics education in primary and secondary schools is characterized by incomplete planning, single content, insufficient assessment and feedback, inadequate integration of resources, and deficient incentives and ongoing support [1]. In this regard, it is necessary to establish standards of teacher ethics, implement teacher ethics education, and keep the bottom line of teacher ethics in order to realize the high-quality development of teacher ethics education.
