Implications of weaving pattern on the material properties of two-dimensional molecularly woven fabrics
Authors: Chen Shiwei , Zhang Zhi-Hui , Li Yuntao , Chen Yijing , Yang Jinrong , He Xiao , Zhang Liang
Published: September 2024

Similar to macroscopic woven fabrics, molecularly woven polymers constructed from identical molecular strands but different weaving architectures are anticipated to display diverse physical and mechanical characteristics. Nonetheless, identifying these distinctions and comprehending the underlying mechanisms poses a significant challenge. Herein, we evaluate the impacts of different weaving patterns—plain, mix, and basket—on the characteristics of two-dimensional (2D) organic woven polymers through systematic all-atom simulation. Three weaves, consisting of the same molecular strands, are produced by adjusting the connections of the enantiomers of an inherently chiral 2×2 interwoven grid. Among the tested patterns, the plain weave exhibits superior stability, minimal structural deformation, and the most consistent pore size compared to others. The maintenance of the weaves in kinetically stable high-energy states is attributed to both aromatic stacking and hydrogen bonding interactions between warp and weft strands, while the alteration of weaving patterns leads to variations in the type and strength of these weak interactions. Despite the differences on the weaving pattern, the mechanical stress tends to localize at the contact field. Further analysis on impact resistance and in-plane stretchability highlights how weaving architectures influence the energy dissipation pathways and reinforce the mechanical properties of individual molecular chains. Simulation outcomes indicate that the disparities resulting from various weave patterns primarily stem from the total number and density of entanglements, as well as the interstrand non-covalent interactions. This research highlights the critical influence of weaving architecture on molecularly interlacing material properties, providing valuable insights for future invention and engineering of molecular-level weaving.
Optimizing spin qubit performance of lanthanide-based metal−organic frameworks
Authors: Du Xiya , Sun Lei
Published: September 2024

Lanthanide-based spin qubits are intriguing candidates for high-fidelity quantum memories owing to their spin-optical interfaces. Metal−organic frameworks (MOFs) offer promising solid-state platforms to host lanthanide ions because their bottom-up synthesis enables rational optimization of both spin coherence and luminescence. Here, we incorporated Nd3+ and Gd3+ into a La3+-based MOF with various doping levels and examined their qubit performance including the spin relaxation time (T1) and phase memory time (Tm). Both Nd3+ and Gd3+ behave as spin qubits with T1 exceeding 1 ms and Tm approaching 2 μs at 3.2 K under low doping levels. Variable-temperature spin dynamic studies unveiled spin relaxation and decoherence mechanisms, highlighting critical roles of spin-phonon coupling and spin-spin dipolar coupling. Accordingly, reducing the spin concentration, spin-orbit coupling strength, and ground spin state improves the qubit performance of lanthanide-based MOFs. These optimization strategies serve as guidelines for future development of solid-state lanthanide qubits targeting quantum information technologies.

The Policy Challenges of Refugee Accommodation in Pluralist Societies
Authors:   ,   Lebanese American University -- Chouran Beirut, Ghosn Mariella
Published: September 2024

This thesis focuses on investigating the political consequences of refugee hosting approaches in divided societies. It does this by conducting a comparative analysis of the hosting strategies used in Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan. By examining these different approaches, the research aims to shed light on the impact of these policies on the political landscape of these countries. It also highlights the implications of each strategy on the internal political dynamic of host states. The political, social, and economic context in these three pluralist countries is remarkably diverse; each country has its own immigration history. This justifies the reasons behind each country implementing its own refugee accommodation policies, whether they are inclusive or not. What is effective in one country may not be successful in another. The study examines secondary data collected from interviews to conduct comparative refugee hosting policies and understand their implications on domestic politics. Plus, the thesis relies on various indexes including the Fragility State Index and the Global Peace Index to better understand the link between displacement and fragmentation. The results showed that there is a strong correlation between accommodation of refugees and fragmentation in the host country. Based on the findings of the study, if the refugee issue is not handled effectively and ethically, this can lead to external interference, human rights concerns, population pressure, and internal divisions. This research has important implications for organizations, political leaders, and citizens in Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan. It can help prevent tension and fragmentation and create a stable environment for both refugees and nationals to live with dignity. Thus, it will guide policymakers into strategies that will accommodate refugees while undermining domestic contentions.

Authors:   ,   Lebanese American University -- Chouran Beirut, Chaabi Maya El
Published: September 2024

The purpose of this research study was to explore the impact of digital storytelling on the STEM interest and intellectual stereotypes perceptions of Lebanese middle school students. Employing a quasi-experimental design, pre-post tests, consisting of two questionnaires, were administered to measure shifts in students' STEM interest and intellectual stereotypes perceptions. The experimental group, exposed to the digital storytelling intervention, exhibited significantly higher mean scores across various STEM attitude categories compared to the control group. Paired samples t-tests further confirmed substantial improvements in STEM semantics test scores, underscoring the intervention's distinct and positive influence on students' attitudes and interests in diverse STEM domains. In the examination of intellectual stereotypes, the experimental group displayed distinctive changes, challenging stereotypes associated with innate intelligence, girls' reading and writing abilities, leadership roles, creative thinking, and problem-solving skills. Unexpectedly, adverse effects were observed, reinforcing stereotypes about decision-making, shared enjoyment in activities like sports, toughness, sensitivity, and technical proficiency. These findings underscore the need for a refined approach in narrative construction to avoid unintended consequences. This study contributes empirical evidence to the literature, highlighting digital storytelling's potential to enhance STEM engagement and challenge stereotypes. Further exploration and refinement are recommended for future interventions. In conclusion, digital storytelling emerges as a promising tool for positively influencing STEM interest and perceptions of intellectual stereotypes among middle school students.

Authors:   ,   Lebanese American University -- Chouran Beirut, Arab Nabila
Published: September 2024

The migration phenomenon has been a fundamental aspect of human history, significantly shaping societies, cultures, and familial structures across the globe. Due to globalization, inflation, conflicts, and climate change, migration movements are increasing from and to almost most countries worldwide. Lebanon is no exception to this phenomenon, having become a hub that plays both transit and sending country roles. Migration plays a crucial role in shaping family dynamics and relationships, as it influences the economic stability and emotional bonds within families, particularly from the perspective of Lebanese women affected by labor migration. Lebanon's labor migration significantly affects family structure within Lebanese society, particularly for females left behind (spouses and daughters). This thesis examines the psychological, economic, and social effects of labor migration on Lebanese families, focusing on the experiences of spouses and daughters. It explores how migration influences family dynamics, communication, gender roles, and children's development. The research highlights the use of technology in maintaining relationships, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on long-distance family ties, and the resilience differences between generations. Analyzed through thematic analysis and theories like Family Systems, Adaptation, and Psychological Adjustment, the study aims to deepen understanding of migration's impact on Lebanese families and enhance their resilience.

Some Factors Influencing Legal Continuity in the Age of Enlightenment
Authors: Gubaidullin A. R.
Published: September 2024

In this article, certain factors that influenced legal continuity during the Age of Enlightenment are discussed. The major processes of the period are analyzed, and the importance of legal traditions as the foundation of legal continuity is highlighted. A brief overview of the key approaches to understanding legal traditions is given. Particular attention is paid to the regional divergences of the Age of Enlightenment, with a focus on its specifics in England and later Great Britain, the German and Italian states, France, Russia, and the USA. It was revealed that all factors can be divided into two groups. The first group includes general conditions, circumstances, and prerequisites, which can be further classified into natural and social ones. Natural factors are largely unaffected by the landscape of the period, while social factors are closely tied to society. The factors pertaining to the Age of Enlightenment are part of the latter group. They are of two types. The first type is not actually related to the legal reality of the period. The second type reflects the Enlightenment political and legal doctrines. Conclusions are drawn about the direct and indirect impacts of these factors on the historical processes. It is also demonstrated that the factors of legal continuity formed a unique combination in each studied society, with their influence apparent even after the Age of Enlightenment.
The Value of Procedural Policy: Axiological and General Legal Aspects
Authors: Isaev E. E.
Published: September 2024

This article examines the problems of identifying the values of procedural policy from theoretical and applied perspectives. Rooted in the general axiological principles of law, the values of procedural law guide law enforcement toward achieving positive outcomes by effectively resolving conflicts and disputes among the parties of legal procedures. It was shown that the values of procedural policy are best described by the axiological approach, which highlights its focus on meaningful, effective, rational, fair, and reasonable actions that align with the higher purpose and value of law. The conclusion was made that, in accordance with the strategies of legal axiology, procedural policy should be based on the doctrinal principles of legal science to enhance the efficiency of legal activities and uphold the value of lawmaking and law enforcement, including the administration of law, within today’s legal framework. The value of legal procedural policy was found to lie in setting new axiological standards, primarily associated with the dynamic development and use of new information technologies in legal practice. The value of jurisprudence in systematizing the legislative process and law enforcement was explored, thereby affirming the axiological nature of legal procedural policy.
Human Health as a Constitutional Value in Priority Areas of the State Policy
Authors: Khurmatullina A. M.
Published: September 2024

The health and well-being of the population are two core values that underpin the Russian state policy. With digitizing healthcare, a growing interest has been witnessed in the constitutional value of health, as well as the right to healthcare and medical assistance. This focus is essential for the development of the Russian healthcare legislation and state policy strategies. Here, the normative content of the right to healthcare was explored from historical and current perspectives. The study used both standard (analysis and synthesis) and some specific (historical, statistical, logical and comparative legal) methods. The analysis was based on the constitutional provisions of the Soviet era and the Constitution of 1993; the laws and regulations of the federal Russia that concern healthcare and define the priority areas of the Russian state policy; and the legal interpretations from the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation and general jurisdiction courts. Particular attention was given to the role of health in different areas of life, such as the economy, society, environment, science, and technology. The retrospective research on the constitutional regulation of the social value of health during the Soviet era was performed. The normative content of this value and its components in the current Russian legislation was identified. Guarantees for the right to healthcare and medical assistance in the priority areas of the Russian state policy were considered. Recommendations to improve these established guarantees were designed.

Published: September 2024

The standardized precipitation index (SPI) is a fundamental indicator of meteorological, hydrological, and agricultural droughts in the world. This study aims to evaluate different timescales, 3 months (SPI-3), 6 months (SPI-6), 9 months (SPI-9), and 12 months (SPI-12) indices from meteorological data in quantifying drought characterization in lower eastern counties of Kenya from 1990 to 2018 for observed data and from 1986 to 2018 for Climatic Research Unit Time Series (CRU) data. Precipitation in-situ data (annual) and high-resolution (0.5 × 0.5 degree grid) monthly-scale precipitation data were sought from Kenya Meteorological Department and CRU TS, respectively. Z-Score (SPI) was computed for each year (in-situ data) and month (CRU TS data) using the SPI algorithm, expressed as the departure from the mean in standard deviation units. Quality control of CRU TS data was done by checking outlier values and comparing the data with precipitation data obtained from the meteorological department as well as ERA5 reanalysis data. Results showed that extreme to mild drought was experienced across the Kenyan counties for both annual in-situ and monthly gridded data. Machakos county experienced a year of extreme drought, while Makueni and Taita-Taveta have had 2 and 4 years of severe droughts, respectively. The monthly SPI indices of 3, 6, 9, and 12 months showed a remarkably consistent behavioral pattern detecting extreme droughts across the counties. Considering the uncertainties, unpredictability, and shifting of the long and short rainy seasons in Kenya, results were obtained related to dry and wet episodes and to their relationship with agricultural production as well as water availability and environmental management.
Assessment of soil microclimate in an urban park of Budapest, Hungary
Authors: Abidli Malek , Halupka Gábor , Waltner István
Published: September 2024

Investigation of urban parks is a particular research section in the frame of urban geology, with increasing social importance. Both natural and anthropogenic factors affect these green sites, giving special scientific importance to their investigation. Thus, the behavior of such a ’composite’ system is expected to be quite complex. Based on the general circumstances, a research project was introduced in 2016 in the former Mining and Geological Survey of Hungary (now: Supervisory Authority for Regulatory Affairs). The ongoing project was focused on the behavior of urban parks. Within the frame of this research, between 2016 and 2019, field studies were started in 4 parks of Budapest. This paper is targeting one of these parks, namely Honvéd square. Our objective is to understand the behavior of urban parks under special conditions (e.g., during heat island effects) by getting information from well-defined positions. This can be essential to perform more sustainable water management in an urban park. Within the frame of the field works soil temperature and soil moisture measurements were being recorded manually every week in every park, at four different locations within a park. Observation points were selected to describe the different microclimates of the parks. A statistical analysis of the data reveals that the urban heat island (UHI) effect is reflected in soil temperatures at a citywide scale and that by moderating urban soil surface temperature extremes, trees and shrubs may help to reduce the adverse impacts of urbanization on microclimate, soil processes, and human health. It can be stated, that beside the manual measurements, the automated soil temperature detection was significantly influenced by soil depth at the Honvéd square park. At 100 cm below the surface, the soil temperature is relatively constant. It was approved that not only do deeper soil layers undergo less drastic seasonal temperature fluctuations but also the changes taking place lag further behind those of shallower soil layers.

Published: September 2024

This paper examines the critical role that preceptors in physiotherapy and nursing play in clinical settings, emphasising their contributions to patient care and professional growth. Students who participate in clinical internships gain invaluable practical experience that connects their theoretical understanding to real-world applications. Students who work in nursing contexts are exposed to high-pressure environments and develop their clinical decision-making and collaboration abilities through involvement in acute care. Students studying physiotherapy provide a substantial contribution to rehabilitation units, where their involvement aids in patients' recuperation and fosters the development of critical therapeutic skills. The best practices for integrating students into clinical teams are also included in this review, with a focus on the value of a structured orientation, ongoing mentorship, and creating a collaborative atmosphere. It also looks at the difficulties and impediments to successful student involvement, such as institutional limitations, psychological strain, and the requirement for strong coping skills. Retaining patient trust and providing high-quality care depend heavily on ethical factors like informed consent and confidentiality. The evaluation emphasises how clinical exposure helps students become career ready by preparing them for the challenges of professional practice in the long run. To maximise student experiences and results, interdisciplinary learning opportunities and efficient team integration are crucial. The review sheds light on these areas and emphasises the necessity of ongoing funding and innovation in clinical education in order to produce skilled, self-assured, morally upright healthcare workers.

Published: September 2024

Overcrowding in emergency departments (EDs) hinders the ability of prehospital and hospital systems to provide adequate patient treatment. There was an initiative to shorten the delivery interval and total turnaround time, the amounts of time it takes for patients to go from when emergency medical services arrive to when they are handed over to the emergency department personnel. This research compared the delivery and turnaround times for ambulance-borne patients both before and after paramedics were included in the triage process. It was a retrospective observational study. Between the hours of 12 AM and 12 PM, the research comprised all adult ED patients who were brought in by ambulance. Patients under the age of 21, those transferring directly from an outpatient institution to an inpatient one, and critically ill patients who needed to be seen immediately in the resuscitation section, avoiding the usual triage procedures, were not included. The information was evaluated using two-sample t-tests with an α = 0.05 confidence interval. The delivery interval was 16 minutes before the program was implemented, and it dropped to 14 minutes after the program was implemented. Prior to implementation, the mean turnaround time was 35 minutes and 37 seconds; after implementation, it dropped to 36 minutes and 37 seconds. There was a reduction of 01:50 minutes in the average delivery interval. A 00:40 second increase was seen in the mean turnaround interval. Having a paramedic on staff during emergency department triage reduced delivery interval by 1:50 minutes, but there was no discernible change in ambulance turnaround times.
INCLUSIVITY IN HIGHER EDUCATION: ANALYSING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF NEP 2020 FOR MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES IN INDIA
Authors: Mangat Paramjeet Kaur
Published: September 2024

This study examines the implementation of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and its impact on inclusivity in higher education for marginalized communities in Punjab, India. The research employs a qualitative case study approach, focusing on three districts—Amritsar, Ferozepur, and Moga—through semi-structured interviews with 50 stakeholders, including students, educators, and local government officials. Key findings reveal significant challenges in access to higher education, including financial barriers, inadequate digital infrastructure, and limited language support, which continue to hinder the inclusivity goals of NEP 2020. While there is a positive perception of scholarship schemes, their availability and complexity of access remain concerns. The curriculum is still perceived as elitist, and the support for marginalized students is viewed as insufficient. Implementation barriers such as inadequate educator training, bureaucratic delays, and awareness gaps further complicate the policy's effectiveness. However, success factors like community engagement, proactive local governance, and the use of digital learning platforms demonstrate potential areas for improvement. The study underscores the need for targeted interventions, increased financial support, and enhanced training to address these challenges. The findings provide empirical evidence to inform policy adjustments, ensuring that NEP 2020 fulfills its promise of creating an inclusive and equitable education system for all.
