Design Of Web-Based Library Information System With Framework For The Application System Thinking (FAST) Method
Authors: Rian Agum Gumelar
Published: October 2023

To develop interest in reading in school students, schools and libraries must work together to attract students ' interest in reading. One of them is by providing a library at the school. Currently, many school libraries for management are still manual, such as from recording member data, data bookkeeping to storing other data related to transaction processing to report generation, so it is possible that when the process takes place there are errors in recording, lack of accurate reports made and delays in finding the required data. In addition, the library has operating hours so that few students come. Designing a web-based library information system with a fast method is the best solution to solve the problems that exist in this library. Fast methods make system design easier and more targeted. And the existence of a site-based Library Information System increases students ' reading interest because they can access it anywhere and anytime without being limited in time, and also makes it easier for officers to Manage Library data.

Authors: Zuhri Ramadhan  , Iskandar  , Heri Kurniawan
Published: October 2023

The problem that occurs among the people of Kebun Kelapa Village is the lack of knowledge regarding technology, especially the use of applications on Android-based mobile phones. The Langkat Regency Communication and Informatics Service as a regional work unit which has duties and functions in the field of technology is supposed to provide direct services to the community in the field of ICT (Information and Communication Technology). The public needs a service or means to make it easier to submit questions and complaints related to the field of technology, which of course hopes to get direct answers from parties who are experts in their fields. So far, the role of the Langkat Regency Communication and Informatics Service is still very minimal in providing facilities for submitting complaints and requests for information to the public, where the public still has to come to the Langkat Regency Communication and Informatics Service Office to submit all types of complaints. This research provides a solution for the Langkat Regency Communication and Informatics Service to provide complaint services to the community, especially in Kebun Kelapa Village, so that they can submit various types of complaints and requests for information in the fields of technology and informatics. The responses and answers obtained are of course obtained directly from the government agency in charge of this matter, so that the public no longer receives wrong information circulating from one media to another. The mobile-based public complaint system that was built can guarantee the confidentiality of personal information for people who are afraid to submit complaints if their identity is known. This system will also provide a guarantee that complaints submitted will be responded to immediately by having a control system for the complaint handling process. In the end, it is also hoped that this research will become a new public service innovation for the Langkat Regency Communication and Information Service, especially in Kebun Kelapa Village, especially in fulfilling the public service compliance survey conducted by the Indonesian Ombudsman every year.

The Application of Traditional Chinese Culture in University French Teaching
Authors: Li Xin , Zheng Limin
Published: October 2023

As one of the official languages of the United Nations, French has an important position in international communication. Traditional language teaching methods often neglect the importance of cultural elements, resulting in students' difficulty in understanding and accepting French culture while learning French, thus affecting the learning effect. China has a rich history and cultural heritage, and these traditional cultural elements not only reflect the historical development and national characteristics of China but also the spiritual support of the Chinese people. How to integrate these cultural elements into French language teaching and make it a powerful tool to enhance learning effect and interest is a challenging task. This paper discusses the application of traditional Chinese culture in French teaching, aiming to improve students' language learning and enrich their cultural knowledge. Specific application strategies include integrating traditional cultural elements into the design of teaching content, designing classroom activities, organizing cross-cultural exchanges, and innovative teaching methods. Integrating traditional Chinese culture into French language teaching can enhance students' learning interest and efficiency, and also help improve their intercultural communication skills.
Research on the Cultivation of Kindergarten Soccer Teachers in the Context of Industry-Education Integration
Authors: Chen Huanan
Published: October 2023

The main force of kindergarten soccer teachers tends to be younger, which is a good status quo for kindergartens. For primary and secondary schools, the older the teacher's teaching experience will be richer, how to control the students' emotions, the more effective for students to receive knowledge have more scientific methods. Through visiting kindergartens, it is not difficult to find that for kindergarten soccer teachers, young teachers have a lot of energy and vitality in teaching and can create teaching activities that cater to children's preferences. Especially in soccer teaching activities, young kindergarten teachers are better than their older counterparts in terms of demonstration, infectiousness, and flexibility. The desire for new things is higher, the speed of accepting new knowledge is faster, and the effect will be better in the subsequent continuing education and training. As for the older teachers, they have been teaching for a long time and have a fixed teaching mode. Relatively speaking, they are more traditional and lack innovation and vitality in teaching. However, most of the young kindergarten teachers are just entering the workplace, are relatively inexperienced, poor organizational skills, for the emergence of unexpected situations can not be dealt with patiently, timely, and effectively. Older teachers, because of their longer working hours, and children in the teaching and after-school life of a longer period, can more accurately determine what kind of soccer teaching activities are more suitable for children, and will not appear in the classroom out of control, chaotic scenes. Therefore, kindergartens should strengthen the training of new and old teachers, older teachers can not only pass on their rich teaching experience to new teachers but also learn innovative soccer activities that are in line with the development of the times and meet the preferences of young children.
Klíčové aspekty pohybů filmových materiálů mezi chladným archivním depotem a odbornými pracovišti

Published: October 2023

Filmové materiály, především ty, jejichž podkladová nosná vrstva je složená z acetátů celulózy, a barevné chromogenní materiály je potřeba dlouhodobě skladovat v co možná nejnižších ekonomicky a technicky dosažitelných teplotách, aby se co nejvíce zpomalil jejich rozklad a prodloužila doba, po kterou bude možné je díky dobrému mechanickému a vizuálnímu stavu bez větších problémů promítat, digitalizovat a fotochemicky duplikovat. Jestliže ale archivní instituce po desetiletích příprav zrealizuje projekt specializovaného dlouho- dobého úložiště filmových materiálů, které splňuje ideální podmínky doporučené oborovými normami, vyvstanou nová technická a logi- stická úskalí, zejména při přesunech materiálů mezi depozitářem s teplotou kolem bodu mrazu a regulovanou nízkou relativní vlhkostí a odbornými pracovišti, která bývají temperována na běžnou poko- jovou teplotu a vlhkost. Aby byly archivní filmové materiály velkou změnou teploty a vlhkosti co nejméně namáhané, je potřeba zajistit, aby aklimatizační procesy probíhaly určitou rychlostí. Ta by měla být sice dostatečně pomalá, aby se předešlo riziku poškození, ale záro- veň provozně zvládnutelná. V literatuře byly takové postupy popsány a v archivech, které disponují nízkoteplotními depozitáři, byly tyto postupy i odzkoušeny. Přesto bylo rozhodnuto jednoduchými pokusy vybrané dílčí aspekty otestovat, aby se postupy zpřesnily pro naše podmínky a optimalizovaly potřebám rozsáhlých sbírek Národního filmového archivu. Zkoumána byla rychlost vyrovnávání vlhkosti v různých typech a formátech filmových materiálů a také se zjišťovalo, za jakých podmínek hrozí nežádoucí kondenzace vzdušné vlhkosti uvnitř krabic s filmovými materiály, v jakém rozsahu vzniká a zaniká a jak je nebezpečná. Výsledky posloužily jako základ metodiky pro bez- pečný pohyb mezi nízkoteplotními depozitáři a odbornými pracovišti.

Al-‘Ūd al-Hindī ialah bahan yang disyorkan oleh Rasulullah s.a.w. sebagai penawar kepada penyakit. Ia merupakan penamaan bagi dua herba yang dikenali oleh komuniti Rasulullah s.a.w. dan generasi selepasnya yang hampir dengan zaman beliau. Bagaimanapun, melihat kepada terjemahan dan interpretasi kontemporari berbahasa Inggeris dan Melayu bagi tumbuh-tumbuhan nadir dalam teks hadith, secara umum usaha tersebut tidak berjaya mengemukakan pengenalan sebenar. Hal ini berdasarkan fenomena-fenomena kesilapan dalam terjemahan dan perletakan tatanama binomial. Bagi mengisi sedikit kelompangan tersebut, kajian ini memfokuskan kepada al-‘ūd al-Hindī dalam hadith sahih yang diriwayatkan oleh `Umm Qays. Ia bermatlamat untuk memberi identifikasi kepada ungkapan al-‘ūd al-Hindī disertai tatanama binomial. Pendekatan kualitatif dipilih dengan menggunakan kajian kepustakaan bagi pengumpulan data daripada rujukan berkaitan. Kemudian, kajian ini melakukan analisis kontekstual bagi mengolah data yang dikumpulkan. Pendekatan ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan ciri-ciri tumbuh-tumbuhan tersebut daripada rujukan turath terutamanya dalam bidang hadith, serta mendapatkan kesinambungan dengannya daripada fakta biogeografi, justeru dapat dikemukakan pengenalpastian spesis. Hasilnya, dapat dikenalpasti dua herba al-‘ūd al-Hindī tersebut ialah al-qust al-Hindī dan al-qust al-baḥrī dalam bahasa Arab; yang merupakan akar kepada spesis Dolomiaea costus dan Arctium lappa. Bagaimanapun, berdasarkan tinjauan kepada pengemukaan herba tersebut dalam interpretasi hadith kontemporari, keseluruhannya tidak memberikan pengenalan sebenar kepada herba-herba tersebut. Hal ini boleh menghalang pembaca daripada mengenali tumbuh-tumbuhan tersebut. Kajian ini menyarankan inisiatif merujuk maklumat ciri-ciri tumbuhan nadir dalam buku klasik serta mendapatkan kesinambungan maklumatnya dengan fakta biogeografi sebelum menginterpretasikannya.
Counter-Mapping Maroon Cartographies
Authors: Dunnavant Justin P. , Wernke Steven A. , Kohut Lauren E.
Published: October 2023

Formal spatial modeling and analytical approaches to maroon settlement, fugitivity, and warfare in the colonial-era Caribbean have tended to mine historical cartographic sources instrumentally to analyze the distributions and simulate processes driving marronage in St. Croix (Dunnavant 2021b; Ejstrud 2008; Norton and Espenshade, 2007). Through close-in analysis, we compare two Danish maps of St. Croix produced in 1750 and 1799 in relation to modern cartographic sources, to explore how cartographic forms and cartesian conventions (attempt to) elide blind spots in the colonial gaze. By modeling possible subject-oriented maroon movement on georeferenced colonial maps and contemporary LiDAR, we demonstrate how GIS can recover anti-colonial agency. Additionally, the practice of georeferencing itself is a critical site of analysis, revealing distortions suggestive of social and environmental conditions that limited colonial cartographers’ ability to map certain wilderness and contested landscapes that lay outside of their control.
The Fugitive Underground of British Blackness
Authors: Adscheid Toni
Published: October 2023

This paper historicizes the riotous geographies of British Blackness by focusing on three so-called “riots” in London’s post-World War II development, the 1958 Notting Hill uprisings, the 1981 Brixton uprisings and the 2011 pan-London uprisings. Mobilizing debates in Black (British) Geographies, I challenge state narrations of these events as illegitimate expressions of Black Britons’ political discontent. Based on archival research, I expose such framings as ongoing attempts of whiteness to render Black British geographies “ungeographic” within a supposed white British geography. Employing fugitivity as method, I show how these riotous events constituted possibilities for escaping racialized spatio-political categories of British state geographies. I consider British Blackness as political category and as a historically contingent discursive construction that mobilizes people from the African diaspora in specific ways but also stretches beyond them. Thus, I ask: How does Blackness continue to escape attempts of capturing it in and through British state geographies and in what ways does this escape constitute a transfiguration of Black British (un)geographies? The three historical cases I examine exemplify the struggles between the state’s efforts to enclose and exclude Black Britons and their efforts to forge an underground of British Blackness in the wake of Empire.
Examining the Impact of Hysteresis on the Projected Adoption of Autonomous Vehicles
Authors: Alatawneh Anas , Torok Adam
Published: October 2023

This study explores the potential impact of per capita gross domestic product (GDP) changes on the adoption of autonomous vehicles (AVs). The level of adoption of AVs is anticipated to influence the benefits of future mobility, prompting numerous studies that forecast the market share of AVs using various methods. The influence of changes in the per capita GDP on vehicle ownership is crucial in assessing the challenges associated with reducing dependence on AVs in the future. This phenomenon, known as the hysteresis effect, implies that AV adoption estimates may differ when the GDP is rising as opposed to when it is falling. This research examines the effect of rising and falling GDP per capita on the anticipated AV diffusion in Hungary, utilising a scenario-based method to account for the variation in adoption rates in the literature. The study findings indicate that declines in GDP in the past will impact AV ownership, leading to a shift in future adoption patterns. The AV market is projected to reach saturation in the 2070s and the 2090s in favourable and moderate scenarios, respectively, while a pessimistic state would delay this outcome until after the year 2100.
Teachers as a Source of Support: Perceptions of Parents of Children With ADHD During COVID-19 Distance Learning
Authors: Dor Asnat , Shmuel-Nir Oshra
Published: October 2023

The issues faced by children with ADHD and their parents in COVID-19 distance learning, and the parents’ perceptions of teachers’ role are examined in this qualitative phenomenological study. Teacher-parent collaboration is essential to implementing behavior-management programs
at home and in school consistently. The instant transition to distance learning during the pandemic, which challenged teachers and families, underscored the difficulties of the students with learning disabilities. Participants were 18 mothers of elementary-school children with ADHD from mid-
upper-middle social class. The research tool was semi-structured, in-depth, non-directive interview. The interviews revealed parents' descriptions of withdrawal along with opportunity, parents' response to child's difficulties, parents' initiatives, and parents' feelings of support and lack
of relevant support from the educational staff. Results emphasize the importance of parent-teacher cooperation, especially in times of crisis, and of teachers’ supportive role. Practical implications are sought for guiding teachers to promote communication with parents in future crisis
situations.
Teachers’ Beliefs About Grading, Grades, and Student Classroom Conduct
Authors: Chen Peggy , Bonner Sarah
Published: October 2023

In this mixed-methods study, inservice and preservice teachers (n = 173) responded to a survey about using grading practices to address student classroom conduct, and 73 reflected further in writing. Many supported some use of grades to manage students, and those in favor tended
toward more traditional beliefs about teaching, oriented around concerns for classroom management. Most participants who wrote reflectively identified conduct-based grading as aligned with behaviorist learning theory and without regard for its impact on grade interpretation. Educational implications
suggest re-examining whether grades should be understood solely as representations of academic achievement or of multiple dimensions of schooling.
TENDENCIAS DE LAS EMISIONES DE GEI DE HOGARES POR USO DE ENERGÍA EN CUATRO CIUDADES CHILENAS DURANTE EL COVID-19
Authors: Rojas Carolina , Simon François , Muniz Iván , Quintana Marc , Irarrázaval Felipe , Stamm Caroline , Santos Benedita
Published: October 2023

Los cambios en los patrones de consumo doméstico de energía observados durante la pandemia de coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) han tenido un impacto en las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero (GEI) de los hogares. El documento presenta los hallazgos de una encuesta dirigida a 1200 hogares en cuatro ciudades del centro-sur de Chile, que proporciona la información para calcular directamente las emisiones de GEI relacionadas con el uso residencial de energía. Los resultados muestran que las emisiones de GEI relacionadas con la calefacción han aumentado moderadamente durante la pandemia del COVID-19 (entre el 1 y el 6%), mientras que las emisiones del consumo de electricidad y gas para usos distintos a la calefacción han aumentado significativamente (entre el 8 y el 23%). Esto ha perjudicado la economía de los hogares, destacando la importancia de considerar aspectos socioeconómicos al evaluar el impacto del COVID-19 en las emisiones de GEI de los hogares.

Este trabajo analiza las propiedades léxicas –grado de familiaridad y abstracción– de las palabras que las docentes pronunciaron con mayor frecuencia durante clases de Ciencias sociales y naturales en jardines de infantes de la provincia de Córdoba (Argentina). Asimismo, informa si estas palabras fueron enseñadas o no y el tipo de información que ofrecieron las docentes durante su tratamiento. Se realizaron observaciones video filmadas de situaciones de enseñanza que implicaron el desarrollo completo de dos unidades: tipos de trabajos (Ciencias sociales) y ciclo del agua (Ciencias naturales) en cuatro salas de cinco años. Se aplicaron procedimientos de análisis cuantitativos y cualitativos. Los resultados muestran que las maestras priorizaron la enseñanza de palabras familiares y concretas durante las clases de Ciencias naturales. A su vez, ofrecieron más información durante el tratamiento de palabras familiares en clases de Ciencias naturales, mientras que en las clases de Ciencias sociales emplearon mayor cantidad de información al enseñar palabras poco familiares. La interpretación de estos resultados destaca la necesidad de que las docentes de jardín de infantes enseñen, de manera sistemática y multimodal, el vocabulario que integra el contenido conceptual de las clases de ciencias.
Evaluación de estrategias que eviten el sobrecalentamiento en edificios de madera en climas mediterraneos templados con alta radiación solar. Caso de estudio: edificio residencial en Santiago, Chile
Authors:   , von Marees Recio María Begoña
Published: October 2023

En Chile, el sector constructor emite entre un 30 y un 33% de las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero, siendo el sub-sector residencial el que se lleva casi un 79% de estas emisiones. Adicionalmente, existe un déficit habitacional de 588.632 viviendas, lo que genera una tensión entre la necesidad de construir viviendas y mitigar el cambio climático. Para que esta relación sea mitigante en cuanto a emisiones de CO2, el papel de la madera es primordial, siendo este el material de construcción con mayor potencial para disminuir los niveles de CO2 atmosférico al secuestrarlo en su estructura. El problema radica en lo siguiente; en Santiago el clima es mediterráneo templado (Csb) con altos niveles de radiación solar, lo que representa un desafío para la construcción en madera ya que esta tiende a sobrecalentarse. Se plantea la aplicación de estrategias pasivas de diseño para prevenir el sobrecalentamiento. El objetivo principal de esta investigación es investigar, demostrar y cuantificar de qué manera las estrategias pasivas de diseño disminuyen la probabilidad de sobrecalentamiento en edificios de madera en climas Csb con alta radiación, para permitir su desarrollo y contribuir a disminuir las emisiones de CO2 del sub-sector constructor residencial. Para lograr esto, se realiza un levantamiento de información del fenómeno del sobrecalentamiento, en edificios de madera en climas mediterráneos templados con alta radiación solar, para generar un estado del arte y definir todas las estrategias pasivas de diseño que pueden ser utilizadas bajo estas condiciones climáticas. Se realizan simulaciones para comparar la demanda de energía operativa y el confort en un edificio de madera CLT sin y con estrategias pasivas aplicadas, con el software DesignBuilder. Finalmente, se comparan los dos edificios anteriores más el mismo en hormigón armado, con respecto a sus emisiones de CO2 con el software Athena, esto para concluir que las estrategias pasivas son elementos básicos e indispensables en la construcción en madera en climas Csb con alta radiación solar, al lograr disminuir las probabilidades de sobrecalentamiento y mitigar las emisiones de CO2 atmosférico.

Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Psychiatry at SCB Medical College, Cuttack, Odisha, India, from January 2019 to March 2020. A total of 50 bipolar disorder patients and 50 age-matched healthy adult controls were recruited from the Outpatient Departments (OPD) of the hospital, and the severity of bipolar disorder was assessed using Young's Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D). DNA methylation levels were estimated from serum samples of the subjects using a methylated DNA quantification kit. The data was analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25.0. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to compare the DNA methylation scores, and the Pearson’s correlation test was used to correlate DNA methylation levels with disease severity. A p-value <0.05 was considered significant. Results: The mean age of the study participants was 34.44±12.45 years. A total of 100 subjects were included in the study, with 50 being bipolar disorder patients and the remaining 50 in the control group. Bipolar cases, particularly depression, had higher levels of DNA methylation than controls (p=0.0001). On correlation analysis, patients with Bipolar Depression (BD) had a significant correlation with DNA methylation (p-value <0.001) compared to patients with mania and controls. Conclusion: Bipolar patients, especially those with BD, exhibit higher levels of global DNA methylation in genes compared to healthy control groups. Global DNA methylation can serve as an important early disease marker for bipolar patients, aiding in prevention and early detection efforts.

A field experiment was carried out during the rabi season in the Experimental Field, Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, JNKVV, Jabalpur (M.P.) under RBD design with four replications consisting of five treatments of two types of biofertilizers: Pseudomonas and Biofertisol, and scheduled combinations of inorganic fertilizers based on STCR (Soil Test Crop Response) to achieve the desired yield using the vegetable pea variety PSM-3. The response due to treatment of T4 (TY 100 q (58:110:47) + 5 t FYM+1 spray of Pseudomonas+1 spray of Biofertisol) was significantly effective in increasing nodulation attributes (nodulation enumeration, biomass and leghaemoglobin content) by 28.46, 47.15, and 35.29%; 78.33, 95.86, and 86.17%; and 21.70, 65.70, and 20.26%, respectively, relative to that of control. Yields of the crop were best harvested due to T4 by 85.97 % over that of control 56.70 kg ha-1. The continuous application of chemical fertilisers has decreased the fertility of the soil and degraded the soil. The reduction in the fertility of the soil has resulted in poor crop yields. The nutrient management of all the treatments involves the judicious use of organic and inorganic fertilizers, along with microbes, to meet the nutrient needs of the crop while minimizing environmental impacts.

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a fundamental staple crop, feeding billions and sustaining livelihoods worldwide. Amid the global food security context, rice holds a pivotal role, demanding increased efficiency and productivity to meet the dietary demands of a growing global population. Emphasizing seed quality and vigor is crucial in achieving these goals. Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU) responds to the dynamic agro-climatic conditions by introducing rice varieties tailored to Tamil Nadu's unique agricultural landscape. This research paper examines the seed vigor of TNAU released rice varieties within the seed chain. The study was conducted in a completely randomised design, the study assessed seed vigor in terms of radicle emergence time, mean germination time, germination percentage, speed of emergence, shoot length, root length, days to first count, days to final count, vigour index – I, vigour Index – II, electrical conductivity, and field emergence. Seed vigor also impacts storage potential. This study results shows that the rice varieties were categorized into three groups based on seed vigor. Twelve exhibited high seed vigor potential including ADT 51, CO52, TRY 1, TRY3, TKM13, ADT39, ADT 54, BHAVANI, ASD16, ADT37, ADT43, and ADT 53. Six showed medium potential including CO 53, ASD 19, IW Ponni, TKM 9, ADT 42, and ADT 45. Eight had low seed vigor potential including CO 50, ADT 52, TPS5, VGD 1, ADT 38, ADT 46, CO 51, and MDU 6. These classifications aid informed seed management and cultivation decisions, highlighting the suitability of high-vigor varieties for direct seeding and improved agricultural productivity.

As per the estimate by the United Nations, the world population will increase to 11 billion, by 2050. This rapid increase in the population is of global concern, creating responsibilities on the shoulders of the scientists to fetch the rapidly increasing population along with the problem of reduced land holding, sudden climatic challenges, and imbalanced nutrition coupled with deficiencies of nutrients. It is necessary to continuously review and modify agricultural practices and technologies in order to meet human demands while respecting the ecological boundaries of our planet. Among these technologies application of fertilizers has been crucial for raising crop yield, agricultural productivity and food security. However, the application of fertilizer has an environmental cost and they haven't been a very productive factor in helping many poor farmers to escape poverty economically, especially in the areas where the fertilizer application has an imbalance and inappropriate fertilizer has been applied on the lower fertile soils which have little or no desirable effect on the crop yield. The efficient use of fertilizers can be increased by using agronomic practices to apply existing mineral fertilizers, which generally contain N, P, and K, at the proper time, place, amount, and composition. However, the overall progress made to minimize the negative consequences is insufficient to bring about the necessary change toward sustainable agriculture in underdeveloped nations. Farmers must integrate the management of nutrients and soil fertility into their farming practices in order to meet the increasing population's demand for food. This paper reviews the concepts of integrated nutrient management in the context of its eco-friendly nature and sustainability.

The metastatic process is an extraordinarily complex step‐by‐step procedure, characterized by many analogies with migratory patterns of humans or animals across our planet. The ongoing interrogation of circulating tumor cells (CTCs), caught in the act of spreading from one location to another, is revealing distinct behaviors including biological, physical, and mechanical features that impact on their likelihood to form metastasis. In this viewpoint, I will discuss some of these findings and provide a perspective on the metastatic journey, open questions and opportunities to exploit some of the most recent discoveries for the development of antimetastasis medicines.

Electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) over Cu catalysts exhibits enormous potential for efficiently converting CO2 to ethylene (C2H4). However, achieving high C2H4 selectivity remains a considerable challenge due to the propensity of Cu catalysts to undergo structural reconstruction during CO2RR. Herein, we report an in situ molecule modification strategy that involves tannic acid (TA) molecules adaptive regulating the reconstruction of a Cu‐based material to a pathway that facilitates CO2 reduction to C2H4 products. An excellent Faraday efficiency (FE) of 63.6 % on C2H4 with a current density of 497.2 mA cm−2 in flow cell was achieved, about 6.5 times higher than the pristine Cu catalyst which mainly produce CH4. The in situ X‐ray absorption spectroscopy and Raman studies reveal that the hydroxyl group in TA stabilizes Cuδ+ during the CO2RR. Furthermore, theoretical calculations demonstrate that the Cuδ+/Cu0 interfaces lower the activation energy barrier for *CO dimerization, and hydroxyl species stabilize the *COH intermediate via hydrogen bonding, thereby promoting C2H4 production. Such molecule engineering modulated electronic structure provides a promising strategy to achieve highly selective CO2 reduction to value‐added chemicals.
