For mercury dibromide HgBr2, a promising component of the working mixture of gas-discharge exciplex sources of coherent (lasers) and spontaneous (exciplex lamps) radiation, as well as a promising nonlinear optical crystal for the infrared radiation process, thermodynamic and thermochemical properties in the temperature range 173–512 K were investigated. The established basic thermodynamic (isobaric heat capacity Ср, total entropy S, enthalpy H and Gibbs energy G) and thermochemical (enthalpy ΔHf and Gibbs energy ΔGf of formation) functions of HgBr2 were compared with the known literature data at 298–514 K. The obtained results differed from the literature within 1–2% (for Ср), 0.1–0.2% (for S, H and G) and 0.1–0.6% (for ΔHf and ΔGf). The experimental data, combined with semi-empirical approaches and ab initio calculations taken from the literature, were used to estimate the previously unknown additional thermodynamic and thermophysical properties of HgBr2: isochoric heat capacity CV, Debye temperature θD, volume thermal expansion αV, isothermal compressibility βT (isothermal bulk modulus BT = 1/βT), Grüneisen constant γG, phonon longitudinal vl, transverse vs, average –v velocities and phonon thermal conductivity κ. In the present work, it was found that crystalline mercury dibromide expands strongly upon heating and has a low phonon thermal conductivity.

Recent Canadian Negligence Decisions Relating to Prenatal Care: Implications for Physicians’ Screening Practices
Authors: Murdoch Blake
Published: July 2023

This article summarizes several Canadian court decisions from 2015 onward stemming from wrongful birth and wrongful life litigation. Plaintiff success often turns on whether causation is established, on a balance of probabilities, between a physician’s breach of standard of care and the harm to the parents and/or the child later born. Physicians’ failure to offer or order screening or diagnostic tests has been a source of wrongful birth liability, as too can be failure to ensure patient understanding of results. Physicians should ensure that they recommend diagnostic testing when presented with concerning clinical indications in accordance with professional practice guidance. Given non-invasive prenatal screening’s (NIPS) advantages and the threat of wrongful birth liability for failure to discuss this procedure, it is likely to be propelled into an ever more prominent position as a first-choice offering for aneuploidy screening. Appropriately cautious physician behaviour involves discussing and offering NIPS, and also involves ensuring that results are understood. This can reduce physician liability, improve patient reproductive autonomy, and sometimes benefit patient health by preventing or lessening trauma that informed women may opt to mitigate when granted the opportunity.

The Existential paradigm of M. Lermontov's creativity and cultural transition in Russian literature of the 1830s–1840s
Authors: Mysovskikh Lev Olegovich
Published: July 2023

The article presents an analysis of the existential paradigm of M. Lermontov's creativity in the light of the existential theories of S. Kierkegaard and K. Jaspers, which is considered in the context of the cultural transition in Russian literature of the 1830s-1840s. It is argued that Lermontov radically changed the nature of his literary activity by the mid-1830s, overcoming his own existential ambivalence and abandoning the subjective emotionality and exoticism of his youthful poetry in favor of objective observations and research of the surrounding world. Lermontov was aware of his existential ambivalence and sought to overcome this state in order to achieve cultural integrity, which should be considered as one of his main values. Lermontov's works reflect the concept of integrity as the integration of culture through a set of prevailing norms and ideals, as well as the feeling that this integrity was disintegrating in transitional times. This state of affairs caused a sense of disintegration in Lermontov, which is similar to the borderline situation of Jaspers. Lermontov's works illustrate the loss of cultural ideals with the decline of Romanticism. But rejecting the ideals of Romanticism, Lermontov conveys the feeling that post-Romantic disappointment generated cynicism and distorted thinking. The novel "The Hero of Our Time" has become the embodiment of such shortcomings. Lermontov's works do not belong to romanticism, nor to protorealism, nor to any combination of both. But Lermontov played his transitional role superbly. Not only did he raise questions about Romanticism that realism would later make its own, he also shed light on Romanticism itself and how it was fading. Lermontov showed how difficult it is for an artist who is aware of his own existential ambivalence to create and live in a transitional time devoid of a unifying sense of cultural integration and integrity, illustrating how badly a creative personality needs such integration and integrity.
Microphones in modern drama theatre
Authors: Bliudov Daniil Vladimirovich
Published: July 2023

The object of this study is acting speech in modern theater and cinema. The subject of the study is the influence of the aesthetics of screen speech on the theatrical word in the 21st century. The author explores in detail the phenomenon of "microphone speech" in modern drama theater, analyzes the reasons for the rapid expansion of microphone sound and, in particular, the influence on stage speech of the aesthetics of post-drama theater. With numerous examples, various options for using microphones in a drama theater are considered - from local to radical. The author pays special attention to the category of "naturalness" of the acting speech in the screen arts and on the theatrical stage. The novelty of the study lies in a comprehensive study of the phenomenon of "microphone speech" in drama theater and the category of naturalness in stage and screen speech. The author concludes about the overwhelming influence of cinema on modern theatrical speech. The article scientifically substantiates the impact on the speech art of a modern theater actor both the aesthetics of post-dramatism and the new standard of naturalness that has developed in the screen arts and has formed spectator perception. The opposite influence of stage speech on the aesthetics of speech in screen arts is mediated, realized almost exclusively through the theater school. In the final part of the study, the author concludes that changes are necessary in the speech education of future theater and film artists.

The electron transport layer is very important for the device efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells. Tin dioxide is a common electron transport layer in high-efficiency solar cells and has good carrier extraction and transport capability. However, using the solution method to prepare tin dioxide, a large number of defects are generated on its surface during high-temperature annealing in air, which can degrade the electrical properties of the film, so the solution method is not conducive to preparing large-area film. In this paper, the reactive plasma deposition method is used to prepare tin dioxide thin film, and the performance of the thin film is optimized by adjusting the glow discharge time and working current. The film is applied to small-area N-I-P type perovskite solar cells, the efficiency reaching to 21.24%. The hysteresis of the device is improved by introducing stannous isooctanoate and tin dioxide as a double electron transport layer, the open circuit voltage of the solar cell increases from 1.11 to 1.15 V, the efficiency rises from 21.27% to 22.15%, and the hysteresis factor decreases from 24.04% to 3.69%. This work presents a new preparation method and effective optimization strategy to prepare tin dioxide electron transport layer, which will promote the development of planar heterojunction perovskite solar cells and provide a new research idea for preparing high-efficiency and stable perovskite solar cells.
Robustness of privacy-preserving collaborative recommenders against popularity bias problem
Authors: Gulsoy Mert , Yalcin Emre , Bilge Alper
Published: July 2023

Recommender systems have become increasingly important in today’s digital age, but they are not without their challenges. One of the most significant challenges is that users are not always willing to share their preferences due to privacy concerns, yet they still require decent recommendations. Privacy-preserving collaborative recommenders remedy such concerns by letting users set their privacy preferences before submitting to the recommendation provider. Another recently discussed challenge is the problem of popularity bias, where the system tends to recommend popular items more often than less popular ones, limiting the diversity of recommendations and preventing users from discovering new and interesting items. In this article, we comprehensively analyze the randomized perturbation-based data disguising procedure of privacy-preserving collaborative recommender algorithms against the popularity bias problem. For this purpose, we construct user personas of varying privacy protection levels and scrutinize the performance of ten recommendation algorithms on these user personas regarding the accuracy and beyond-accuracy perspectives. We also investigate how well-known popularity-debiasing strategies combat the issue in privacy-preserving environments. In experiments, we employ three well-known real-world datasets. The key findings of our analysis reveal that privacy-sensitive users receive unbiased and fairer recommendations that are qualified in diversity, novelty, and catalogue coverage perspectives in exchange for tolerable sacrifice from accuracy. Also, prominent popularity-debiasing strategies fall considerably short as provided privacy level improves.

Published: July 2023

With the rapid development of digital-based industrial structures, the construction industry is also rapidly adopting smart-based technologies and unmanned automation, leading to an increase in the construction of new buildings. To protect against fire, disasters, and other emergency situations, installing firefighting facilities is mandatory , and continuous management is required. However, owing to the increase in new buildings, the installation of firefighting facilities is increasing, but the manpower to manage and inspect these firefighting facilities is lacking. In this paper, a technical improvement plan is proposed for the existing analog method of facility inspection. By combining deep learning algorithm and augmented reality, a fire protection inspection system is developed and inspections are performed through wearable devices. To train the object detection model, we built a dataset of five types of firefighting facilities. The trained YOLO v4 model achieved a performance accuracy of 93.6%. The proposed system is expected to perform more convenient and reliable inspections and to help with fire safety management by enabling both fire safety professionals and the general public to learn about fire protection inspection systems and perform self-inspections.

Authors: Yeo Ung-Ki , Bae Young-Hoon , Oh Ryun-Seok , Choi Jun-Ho
Published: July 2023

The implementation of the "Serious Accident Punishment Act" in Korea aims to address corporate culture and safety management system deficiencies linked to serious accidents. However, concerns persist regarding the law's redundancy, ambiguity, and insufficiency, prompting calls for revision. Despite extensive studies on enhancing the law's effectiveness, the specific context of the firefighting field, which is directly related to serious accidents, has been overlooked. Therefore, to bridge this gap, this study conducted a perception survey among 60 firefighting facility construction workers and 40 fire safety managers regarding the Act. Utilizing analysis of variance, the study examined the differences in perception based on respondents' positions and qualifications. Results revealed significant variations in how the Act was perceived. Notably, respondents from all backgrounds highlighted common improvement measures such as the inclusion of workers' safety obligations and punishment regulations, the specification of duties for management managers, and the establishment of clear exemption regulations for fire safety managers. These findings contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the Act's implications in the firefighting field and provide valuable insights for future revisions and policy enhancements.
Changes in Fire Characteristics of Liquid Fuel depending on Ventilation Conditions in a Reduced-Scale Compartment
Authors: Yun Hong-Seok , Hwang Cheol-Hong
Published: July 2023

In the performance-based design (PBD) process of buildings, citing fire sources without considering possible changes in the combustion environment may reduce the reliability of the fire risk assessment. To prevent such errors, the effect of the ventilation condition variations on the fire characteristics was investigated. The ventilation area of a 1/4 scaled ISO 9705 was gradually modified and n-heptane was selected as fuel. Experimental results showed that, under the same compartment and fuel conditions, the initial combustion of combustibles was accelerated and boiling occurred earlier as the ventilation area decreased. In contrast , the fire growth rate, maximum heat release rate, and total heat released from boiling decreased as the ventilation area decreased. The analysis of the internal flow field using numerical simulation confirmed that the circulation flow generated depending on the ventilation conditions affected the chemical characteristics within the compartment, leading to a decrease in the fire scale during the peak period.
Legal Personhood and Robotics: Birth of the Smart Android and of the Biodroid
Authors: Fauquet-Alekhine Philippe
Published: July 2023

The adoption of legal resolutions or legislative proposals concerning the legal personality of Information Technology entities by the highest decision-making bodies has led to a significant increase in scientific studies on the subject in all disciplines. This sudden interest is a real necessity since, for example, the attribution of the legal status of electronic person to an artificial entity involves a multitude of multidisciplinary issues with potentially significant consequences. One of the legal issues addresses the concept of the birth of such an entity and its definition. As a corollary, the issue refers to that of the consciousness and death of such an entity. This article aims to make a contribution on this issue based on the French legal system. The analysis is illustrated by the application to two robotic entities, one real, the smart android, and the other fictional, the biodroid. By analogy with the case of humans, the birth of such entities corresponds to their first activation, and subsequently, whether they are turned on or off for its synthetic part, their birth is not questioned as long as their evolution is the result of their own development in complete autonomy. Similarly, any modification of their system of thought (including the destruction of this system) that is not due to their own autonomous development must be considered as the production of a new entity and therefore means the death of the previous version and the birth of the new version. These two main proposal are complemented by others that should clarify the issue, especially by defining how smart android and biodroid may be considered viable and dead. It also specifies the link with the status of electronic person.

Thus, afield experiment was performed throughout two seasons 2021 and 2022 at Agricultural Research Station farm, Sakha, Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate, Egypt (30o 56 N latitude and 31o 05 E longitude) to investigate the effect of compost and biochar in the main plots in addition, applied of salicylic acid, potassium silicate and seaweed extract as plant spraying in the subplots on improving some physio-chemical properties of the clay soil, some biochemical constituents and productivity of wheat plants under climate change. The experiment was arranged in a split-plot design with three replicates. Data indicated that applying compost treatment appears to be more successful in reducing pH and bulk density of soil than biochar. Application of biochar treatment reduced electrical conductivity meanwhile, compost increased it. Hydraulic conductivity, total porosity, organic matter content, moisture constants of soil,  cation exchange capacity were increased by applying all tested soil amendments in two seasons. All Soil amendments caused a marked improve in soil available nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content. Meanwhile, compost treatment was the best one in increasing available nitrogen and potassium content. Compost application with all foliar spray had given a first order while foliar application under biochar addition had the second one. Data investigated that potassium silicate treatment increased grain & straw yield, harvest index, yield efficiency, 1000 grain weight, carbohydrates and protein. It is clearly observed that compost with potassium silicate treatment was superior to biochar with all foliar treatments of increasing nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium concentration of grain and straw yields and its uptakes.

Authors: Lee Sung Hee , Jung Adrian Woo
Published: July 2023

This study investigated the at-home distance learning experiences of Korean American children with disabilities and their families during the first three months of the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 53 Korean American parents with children with disabilities residing in Southern California completed an online survey. Results revealed that their children with disabilities did not receive all the special education and related services they were entitled to during the pandemic. Compared to the pre-pandemic period, these children received fewer hours and a smaller number of related services. The survey results further identified the lack of resources and services in the Korean language as one of the greatest related challenges. Analysis of the open-ended survey showed that language barriers and lack of teacher preparation were the main challenges of the distance learning parents utilized for their children with disabilities during the lockdown. The findings advance understanding of disparities in special education services and resources and the unique challenges of Korean American students with disabilities and their families.

Risk-stratified care, in which participants received physiotherapy treatment tailored for their risk category (low, medium, or high), or usual care, in which care was determined by participants’ general practitioners and may have included a referral to physiotherapy.

Main Outcomes and Measures

The primary outcome was the Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) score at 1 year, with planned secondary outcomes of Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Pain Interference (PI) and Physical Function (PF) scores. Raw downstream health care utilization was also reported within each group.

Results

Analysis included 270 participants (99 [34.1%] female participants; mean [SD] age, 34.1 [8.5] years). Only 21 patients (7.2%) were classified as high risk. Neither group was superior on the RMDQ (least squares [LS] mean ratio of risk-stratified vs usual care: 1.00; 95% CI, 0.80 to 1.26), the PROMIS PI (LS mean difference, −0.75 points; 95% CI −2.61 to 1.11 points), or the PROMIS PF (LS mean difference, 0.05 points; 95% CI, −1.66 to 1.76 points).

Conclusions and Relevance

In this randomized clinical trial, using risk stratification to categorize and provide tailored treatment for patients with LBP did not result in better outcomes at 1 year compared with usual care.

Published: July 2023

Importance

Data suggest that the opioid crisis in North America has recently been reflected in opioid-related mortality among youths. Despite recommendation for its use, youths encounter barriers to accessing OAT, including stigma, burden of witnessed dosing, and lack of availability of youth-oriented services and prescribers comfortable treating this population.

Objective

To compare rates of opioid agonist treatment (OAT) and opioid-related mortality between youths aged 15 to 24 years and adults aged 25 to 44 years in Ontario, Canada, over time.

Design, Setting, and Participants

This cross-sectional analysis of rates of OAT and opioid-related deaths between 2013 and 2021 used data obtained from the Ontario Drug Policy Research Network, Public Health Ontario, and Statistics Canada. Individuals included in the analysis were aged 15 to 44 years and residing in Ontario, the most populous province in Canada.

Exposures

Youths aged 15 to 24 years compared with adults aged 25 to 44 years.

Main Outcomes and Measures

OAT (methadone, buprenorphine, and slow-release oral morphine) per 1000 population and opioid-related deaths per 100 000 population.

Results

Between 2013 and 2021, 1021 youths aged 15 to 24 years died from opioid toxicity; 710 were male (69.5%). In the final year of the study period, 225 youths (146 male [64.9%]) died from opioid toxicity, and 2717 (1494 male [55.0%]) were dispensed OAT. Over the study period, the rate of opioid-related deaths among youths in Ontario increased 369.2% from 2.6 to 12.2 per 100 000 population (48 to 225 total deaths) and the rate of OAT use decreased 55.9% from 3.4 to 1.5 per 1000 (6236 to 2717 individuals). For adults aged 25 to 44 years, the rate of opioid-related deaths increased 371.8% from 7.8 to 36.8 per 100 000 (283 to 1502 deaths), and the rate of OAT increased 27.8% from 7.9 to 10.1 per 1000 population (28 667 to 41 200 individuals). Trends for youths and adults persisted across both sexes.

Conclusions and Relevance

The findings of this study suggest that opioid-related deaths are increasing among youths while OAT use is paradoxically declining. The reasons for these observed trends require further investigation, including a consideration of changing trends in opioid use and opioid use disorder among youths, barriers to OAT, and opportunities to optimize care and reduce harms for youths who use substances.
Cell Electrospinning: Revolutionising Cell Scaffolding for Healthcare
Authors: Jayasinghe Suwan N.
Published: July 2023

Electrospinning is a century‐old technology, which has recently found its vast applicability to many areas of research and development and its utility in industry. In the context of the life and health sciences, electrospinning for many years has been explored as a unique approach to scaffolding, on which cells are manually or through automated means seeded with cells. Unfortunately, this approach has seen little being achieved, as the voids generated between fibers within a scaffold negate cell infiltration throughout the entire scaffold. This limitation is a bottleneck for electrospinning in its true applicability to the healthcare and medical sciences.

The upsurging demand for electric vehicles and the rapid consumption of lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) calls for LIBs to possess high energy density and resource sustainability. The former requires the usage of electroactive materials with high capacity and the maximum amount within the fixed electrode volume. The latter essentially creates a closed‐loop circulation scenario for electroactive materials. In all aspects, binders are of practical significance in bonding electroactive materials, maintaining electrode integrity and detaching electrode slurry from the current collector. Currently, the key role of binders in enhancing the electrochemical behavior of sustainable high‐capacity electroactive materials has been recognized. Meanwhile, binders that are designed for easy and cost‐effective recycling of electroactive materials are gradually reported. Herein, recently developed binders that hold promises in establishing sustainable high‐energy‐density LIBs are summarized. The role of binder in facilitating easy separation of electroactive materials are first highlighted. Subsequently, special attention is paid to conductive binders, contributing to less battery chemistries and higher energy density of electrode. Additionally, progress of emerging binders in high‐capacity electroactive materials are also reviewed. It is believed that the advances in binders will open up opportunities for establishing a sustainable high‐energy‐density battery economy.

As a most promising mid‐temperature thermoelectric material, CoSb3‐based bulk material exhibits an applicable figure‐of‐merit (ZT) of more than one. However, their fabrication is historically time‐consuming due to the long‐time solid‐state phase transitions from CoSb2 to CoSb3. To overcome this challenge, here, a fast one‐step process is developed to fabricate n‐type Yb‐doped CoSb3 with stable ZT of 1.12 at 765 K in <5 h. Experiments confirm Yb promotes peritectic reactions of CoSb + Liquid → CoSb2 and CoSb2 + Liquid → CoSb3, optimizes power factor, and suppresses thermal conductivity. Moreover, the dense grains, induced by the one‐step crystallization, result in outstanding mechanical properties with a Young's modulus of 171.4 GPa and a hardness of 8.8 GPa in the Yb‐doped CoSb3. This study indicates that the fast one‐step fabrication route can effectively promote the practical applications of CoSb3‐based thermoelectrics and provide guidance for thermoelectric fabrication via rational phase design.

Published: July 2023

Passive actuation is the production of movement or deformation without external power sources or control systems. This phenomenon has been gaining significant attention in the engineering community due to its potential use in energy‐efficient systems, in which part of the functionality is programmed in the material composition to reduce overall cost and complexity. Biological organisms, formed through millennia of evolution in a paradigm of limited resources and energy and at a multiscale equilibrium with their environment, have developed a myriad of outstanding materials and strategies for integrating complex functionalities into their multiscale structural design. In this study, the arthropod exoskeleton's chitinous composition and manufacturing strategies are used to reproduce its complex relations with external forces and water‐driven molecular rearrangement and use them to produce electricity and actuate a mechanical hand. The proposed technology is unique in combining the generation of strong forces and the integration of the principles and materials of biological organisms, leading to significant advances in the design and performance of passive solutions integrated into biological systems for a wide range of applications, such as biorobotics, medical devices, and energy harvesting.

Published: July 2023

Mitochondrial function impairment due to abnormal opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) is considered the central event in acute pancreatitis; however, therapeutic choices for this condition remain controversial. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a family member of stem cells with immunomodulatory and anti‐inflammatory capabilities that can mitigate damage in experimental pancreatitis. Here, it is shown that MSCs deliver hypoxia‐treated functional mitochondria to damaged pancreatic acinar cells (PACs) via extracellular vesicles (EVs), which reverse the metabolic function of PACs, maintain ATP supply, and exhibit an excellent injury‐inhibiting effect. Mechanistically, hypoxia inhibits superoxide accumulation in the mitochondria of MSCs and upregulates the membrane potential, which is internalized into PACs via EVs, thus, remodeling the metabolic state. In addition, cargocytes constructed via stem cell denucleation as mitochondrial vectors are shown to exert similar therapeutic effects to MSCs. These findings reveal an important mechanism underlying the role of mitochondria in MSC therapy and offer the possibility of applying mitochondrial therapy to patients with severe acute pancreatitis.
