Understanding Hydrogen Passivation Mechanism in poly-Si Passivating Contacts via SixNy Composition: Insights From Effusion Studies
Authors: Mitra Suchismita , Steyn Dirk , Nemeth William , Agarwal Sumit , Stradins Paul
Published: January 2025

Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact (TOPCon) cell performance relies significantly on hydrogen for its passivation of defects. In this paper, we discuss the temperature dependent effusion of hydrogen from the silicon nitride (SixNy) layers deposited on top of poly-Si/SiO2 passivated contacts. Silicon content in SixNywas varied by silane/ammonia flow ratio. FTIR shows significant N-H stretching & bending peaks for nitrogen-rich SixNy layer compared to silicon-rich SixNy layer, and few Si-H bonds compared to silicon-rich SixNy. During effusion, the N-H bonds in N-rich SixNy layer break to provide H2 , NH3 and N2, resulting in stoichiometry change. Negligible effusion of nitrogen occurs for Si-rich SixNylayers. Next, we investigate the mechanism of hydrogen passivation on symmetrical i-poly-Si/SiO2/i-poly-Si structures with different hydrogenating layers namely Si-rich SixNy , Al2O3 and a stack of Al2O3/SixNy, and conclude that a thin 15nm Al2O3 enables the best passivation. We also discuss the possibility of H diffusion in molecular H2 form, most suitable for SiO2 interface passivation, while the atomic hydrogen enables both passivation and de-passivation of interface dangling bonds.
“With the present population . . . there can never be peace”: A Case Study on the Making of Anti-Irish Sentiment in the American Press
Authors: Torve Constantin
Published: January 2025

This case study of a locally influential weekly newspaper in the Pennsylvania anthracite coal region, The Miners’ Journal, aims to develop a new understanding of the emergence of anti-Irish narratives in America. It demonstrates the importance of class and organized labor in shaping negative attitudes toward the Irish and indicates a later nationwide export of this specific class-based anti-Irish narrative. The findings indicate that the close connection between anti-Irish sentiment and hostility toward organized labor was no mere coincidence nor secondary addition, but a core feature of anti-Irish narratives dating back at least to the early 1840s. Consequently, this study argues for a revision of prevailing theories on Irish acculturation and “Whiteness” in America, accounting for the pressures faced by working-class Irish because of such narratives.
Backcountry Wheat, Global Markets, and the Rise of Baltimore, 1765–1775
Authors: MacMaster Richard Kerwin
Published: January 2025

Wheat, mostly as flour, was Pennsylvania’s major overseas export in the eighteenth century. It mainly went to the West Indies. Poor harvests in Great Britain, Ireland, and Europe in the 1760s created a surge in demand for American wheat and flour. Baltimore merchants seized the opportunity. With better links by road to the Pennsylvania and Maryland backcountry, Baltimore emerged as a major grain shipping port. While shipments from Philadelphia and Baltimore to southern Europe were much larger, the Irish market was important for Baltimore. Philadelphia and Baltimore merchants worked in mutual dependence to exploit the expanding global market and the shift from tobacco to grain in the Chesapeake region.
Charles Wollstonecraft in Pennsylvania, 1792–1801: “A Man of Good Sense and Information.” (. . . or “Irritable but not Vindictive?”)
Authors: Bodle Wayne
Published: January 2025

This article brings Charles Wollstonecraft (Mary’s “favourite brother”) from a British state on the brink of war with France to an American republic more loosely engaged with the French Revolution. He arrives in Pennsylvania, a place still central to his identity when he died in New Orleans in 1817. We watch his efforts to grow there with more skill than he was credited with having in Britain. We see him in a land speculation bubble driven by French Revolutionary migration; a romantic quadrangle for the favor of a Philadelphia belle, as described by her warily permissive mother; and emergency military service in Philadelphia’s hinterland. He would eventually find his niche as a soldier in Louisiana, where land speculation, gendered stress, and war were entangled, but these things all began in 1790s Pennsylvania.

Published: January 2025

Background with Aim of the Study

Assessment is crucial to the success of any educational program. In the dental school, students need to provide treatment for patients early in their clinical study. In Iraqi dental schools, this task is undertaken from the third year on. They must acquire both knowledge and skills to be capable, efficient practitioners.

Materials and Methods

The study was done during the academic year’s second semester of fifth-stage students. One hundred and eighteen students participated in this study. Each student was provided with the same questionnaire’s form. The form consists of 5 domains, and each domain consists of 2 items, answered by choosing one of the available options. Both descriptive as well as inferential statistics were applied to the data using SPSS version 11.5. Chi-square and Pearson tests for correlation analysis.

Results

A significant relationship between each of the cavity preparation, pulp capping, cavity lining, filling, and overall performance with the time. The vast majority of the responses reflected a “good” and “very good” level of evaluation. However, pulp capping and cavity lining did not reflect the same level of satisfaction in general. The result of this study indicates that the criteria adopted in the academic evaluation and patient-based outcome move in parallel directions. Academic staff evaluation includes that students are more challenging when they perform delicate procedures, and this is reflected by their evaluation toward such procedures (pulp capping and lining).

Conclusion

The students’ self-evaluation of their performance in the Operative Department seems logical. They seem to have reasonable level of satisfaction toward their performance. However, additional efforts are needed to assess students’ views on management of any procedural challenges.
Flow cytometric estimation of low-density neutrophil antibody labeled and non-labeled phagocytosis assay in patients with periodontitis
Authors: Mousa Ali Omran , Al Hussaini Ali Hussien Abass
Published: January 2025

Background: Neutrophils destroy pathogens via phagocytosis. Neutrophils are effective innate and acquired immunity phagocytes. Low-density neutrophils are distinct neutrophil phenotypes linked to several systemic and infectious diseases. To our knowledge, low-density neutrophil phagocytosis in periodontitis has not been examined. Opsonized and non-opsonized fluorescent beads mixed with low-density neutrophils were gated and analyzed by flow cytometry to count cells that consumed at least one bead.

Aims of the Study: To estimate the potential impact of antibody (Ab)-labeled and non-labeled phagocytosis capacity of low-density neutrophils in the 60 patients with periodontitis compared to 40 patients with healthy periodontium.

Methods: Blood samples were collected from 100 subjects with no systemic diseases and allocated into a periodontitis group of sixty unstable periodontitis patients compared to a control group of forty subjects with healthy periodontium. Flow cytometry was used to estimate both groups’ Ab-labeled and non-labeled phagocytosis assays of low-density neutrophil groups.

Results: Ab-labeled and non-labeled low-density neutrophil phagocytic assays showed no significant difference (p-value > 0.05) between research groups. In both study groups, low-density neutrophils had higher Ab-labeled phagocytosis than non-labeled. A significant positive correlation was observed between Ab-labeled and non-labeled phagocytosis in the control group.

Conclusion: Low-density neutrophils express the same labeled and non-labeled phagocytic index in both groups (periodontitis and control). However, the intra-group comparison revealed enhanced Ab-labeled phagocytosis compared to non-labeled phagocytosis in both groups (periodontitis and control).

Authors: Rajab Rafal Riyadh , Jasim Haider Hasan
Published: January 2025

Background with Aim of the Study: The intraoral scanner in the market contends with challenges, specifically in accurately detecting metallic surfaces of prostheses affected on the fitness of the restoration; therefore, several scanning agents were used to evaluate the internal fit of the zirconia crown.

Methods: 45 prefabricated titanium abutments (n = 45) were selected for this study. Samples were divided into three groups (n = 15 each) according to the application of scanning aid agents. Group 1 (G1: control) used a scan body; G2: used liquid paint as the scanning aid agent; and G3: used powder spray as the scanning aid agent. Each abutment was applied with an imaging scanning aid agent to scan and mill the crown. All scans were performed using the same intraoral scanner, and the internal fit was analyzed digitally using digital silicone replica techniques and Geomagic Control X software. Statistical analysis was performed using the one-way ANOVA test.

Results: There was no significant difference among the three groups.

Conclusion: Scanning aid agents showed similar accuracies for the internal fit of the crown, with no significant differences observed.
Comparison between black tea with salt mouthwash and chlorhexidine on periodontal health status as an adjunct to nonsurgical therapy: Non-randomized control study
Authors: Al-Karawi Sarah Ihsan , Abdul-Wahab Ghasaq Asim , Alwan Alyamama Mahmood , Khuder Tameem Jassim
Published: January 2025

Background: Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory noncommunicable disease that affects all tooth-supporting apparatus. The traditional method of treatment is non-surgical periodontal therapy. If this mechanical debridement is ineffective, an adjunctive therapy may be useful. Black tea with salt and chlorhexidine has been evaluated in the current research as an adjunctive treatment modality.

Aims: To investigate the antibacterial properties of black tea with salt rinse on periodontal disease and compare its efficacy to chlorhexidine rinse.

Methods: Non-randomized control study consisting of sixty participants with age range from 25 to 55 years was divided into three groups: control (no treatment), chlorhexidine mouthwash, and black tea with salt mouthwash. Prior to initiating adjunctive therapy, scaling was performed for all groups.

Results: Statistically significant differences have been found between the effects of mouthwash of black tea with salt versus (0.12) chlorhexidine mouthwash. The findings demonstrated that the group utilizing black tea with salt rinses showed more significant reduction in both plaque and gingival indices in comparison to the chlorhexidine rinse group. Moreover, comparisons between all groups showed highly significant differences in periodontal indices between visits.

Conclusion: Using black tea with salt mouthwash could be effective and useful adjunctive therapy for periodontal diseases. In the future, it is necessary to conduct further studies with a larger sample size in order to make more precise assessment of the impact of black tea with salt mouthwash.

L'article présente les bâtiments (résidentiels, fortifiés, cultuels) érigés à partir de briques crues, découverts lors de fouilles de monuments de la période ourartienne, avec la participation de l'auteur. On y discute des bâtiments ourartiens en briques crues d'Arguichtikhinili-Armavir, d’Artachat et de Guétap. L'utilisation de la structure de la pose des briques crues, le principe de leur construction, ainsi que les particularités de leur fabrication et de leur utilisation sont révélés. L'utilisation des briques crues sur le territoire de l'Arménie, à partir de la période préourartienne, s'est successivement (traditionnellement) poursuivie jusqu'à la fin du Moyen Âge, sans changements significatifs dans la technique du bâtiment (construction).
Ուրարտական ժամանակաշրջանի՝ Արգիշտիխինիլի-Արմավիր, Արտաշատ և Գետափի հուշարձանների պեղումներով հայտնաբերվել շինություններ (բնակելի, պաշտպանական և պաշտամունքային) որոնք կառուցված են հում աղյուսից: Ուսումնասիրությունը ցույց է տալիս, որ Հայաստանի տարածքում հում աղյուսի օգտագործումը սկսած նախաուրարտական ժամանակներից ժառանգաբար փոխանցվել է մինչև ուշ միջնադար` համարյա չկրելով շինարվեստին վերաբերող փոփոխություններ: Հում աղյուսե կառույցները ոչ միայն ծառայում էին ֆունկցիոնալ նպատակների, այլև արտացոլում էին դրանք կառուցած համայնքների գեղարվեստական ընկալումները:
В результате раскопок памятников урартского периода были выявлены сооружения (жилые, крепостные, культовые), построенные из сырцового кирпича. К ним относятся урартские строения Аргиштихинили-Армавира, Арташата и Гетапи. Исследования показывают, что на территории Армении сырцовый кирпич в качестве строительного материала использовался еще с доурартского периода, и эта традиция сохранялась вплоть до позднего средневековья почти без существенных изменений в плане строительной техники. Строения из необработанного кирпича не только служили функциональным целям, но и отражали художественное восприятие построивших их общин.
During the excavations of the monuments of Argishtikhinili-Armavir, Artashat, and Getap of the Urartian period, buildings (residential, defensive, and religious) built of mud brick were found. The study shows that the use of mud brick in the territory of Armenia was inherited from the pre-Urartian period until the late Middle Ages, almost without any changes in the art of construction. Mud brick structures not only served functional purposes, but also reflected the artistic ideas of the communities that built them.

The Interplay Between Interoception and the Gut Microbiome and its Impact on Mental Health
Authors: Thondee Yavanah Priya
Published: January 2025

The interplay between interoception and the gut microbiome significantly influences mental health outcomes, highlighting a complex relationship mediated by the gut-brain axis (GBA). Interoception, the process of sensing and interpreting internal bodily signals, plays a key role in maintaining homeostasis and adapting to internal and external changes. Dysfunction in interoception has been linked to anxiety, eating disorders, and psychosomatic conditions, with therapies like mindfulness and interoceptive exposure therapy (IET) demonstrating therapeutic promise. The GBA, a bidirectional communication network between the gut and brain, shapes mental health through neurotransmitter production, immune responses, and inflammation. Emerging research shows the impact of gut microbiota on neurotransmitter signaling and cognitive processes, influencing emotional regulation and stress management. Understanding the relationship between interoception, the GBA, and psychological therapies provides a foundation for advancing holistic approaches to mental health treatment and well-being. Future studies exploring these interconnected systems may reveal innovative strategies for addressing mental health disorders.

O crescimento urbano desordenado é um problema cada vez mais frequente nas cidades brasileiras, mesmo naquelas consideradas pequenas. Este artigo expressa o resultado de estudo que teve como objetivo identificar a tendência atual de expansão urbana de Marechal Cândido Rondon a partir da implantação de novos loteamentos, bem como, analisar a atuação da dinâmica especulativa envolvida nesse processo. Mediante a elaboração e a análise de mapa sobre a expansão urbana, revisão bibliográfica e análises de campo, pode-se verificar novos loteamentos sendo implantados sem considerar os critérios ambientais e as condições físicas do meio. A expansão urbana está intrinsecamente relacionada à especulação imobiliária e às empresas incorporadoras que, juntas, realizam a transformação da terra rural em urbana, para fins de acumulação, em um processo que gera alterações significativas no espaço local e no preço da terra, criando, em decorrência, o aumento do gasto com transporte e os vazios urbanos destinados à especulação imobiliária.

A parcela experimental constituída de um lisímetro de drenagem com área de 1,58 m2, com o total de 12 parcelas, correspondendo-a: três com gergelim irrigado e três em regime de sequeiro, três com grama batatais e três com solo desnude. Através do balanço de entrada de água no solo (precipitação e irrigação) e saída (drenagem) foi efetuado o manejo da irrigação cotidianamente. Analisaram-se as variáveis: evaporação de água, evapotranspiração de referência e da cultura, transpiração das plantas e os coeficientes de cultivo simples e dual. As plantas irrigadas consumiram através da ETc 296,7 mm de água a mais quando comparadas aquelas em regime de sequeiro. A evaporação de água do solo no cultivo irrigado consumiu 51% mais água que no cultivo de sequeiro e a transpiração das plantas irrigadas consumiu 53% mais água que as de sequeiro. A média geral do Kc simples de todas as fases fenológicas no cultivo irrigado foi 21% maior que o de sequeiro. O Kc dual demonstra que o maior consumo hídrico ocorre pela evaporação de água do solo e uma menor fração pela transpiração das plantas.

A escassez hídrica é um evento extremo que compromete o desenvolvimento das atividades humanas e a manutenção dos ecossistemas naturais, sendo necessária a manutenção da vegetação nativa em quantidade adequada para reduzir a suscetibilidade a esse evento. Assim, objetivou-se com este trabalho, analisar a dinâmica da cobertura do solo na microbacia e zona ripária do rio Caiman, e fornecer informações para prevenir a escassez hídrica na região. A aquisição e análise dos dados foram realizadas com geotecnologias e imagens de 1985, 1998, 2008 e 2022. A microbacia tem área de 227,34 km2 e a zona ripária tem área de 11,09 km2. No período de estudo foi verificada principalmente a redução da área de formação florestal na microbacia, que ocupava 89,28% da área total em 1985 e passou a ocupar apenas 25,22% em 2022, que ocorreu devido a implantação de pastagem e soja, as quais passaram a ocupar respectivamente 38,64% e 31,54% da área total da microbacia no último ano. A dinâmica da cobertura do solo na zona ripária foi semelhante, e em 2022 a formação florestal ocupou apenas 46,98% da área, e as áreas de pastagem e soja ocuparam 35,80% e 5,14% da área, respectivamente. A redução excessiva da formação florestal na microbacia e o avanço das atividades agropecuárias na zona ripária aumentam a suscetibilidade a escassez hídrica. Mediante este cenário, recomenda-se medidas integradas para reduzir essa suscetibilidade, principalmente a recomposição da vegetação nativa nas áreas de recarga e zona ripária que estão ocupadas com agropecuária.

Since March 2020, most medical schools in Brazil have stopped in-person teaching. In this short article, we will describe an implementation experience of mini-CEX delivered to 4th-year undergraduate medical students in the family medicine discipline at the University of Brasília, using the official virtual platform of the University for remote classes, Microsoft Teams software. The activity included 7 instructors, 7 simulated patients and 43 undergraduate students. Each instructor had one correspondent simulated patient and they were responsible for no more than 7 undergraduate students’ exams. Each encounter was scheduled 20 minutes apart. Each student had 10 minutes to do the exam and 3-minute feedback was conducted immediately after the instructor's observation. The organization of the virtual mini-CEX assessment is a multiple step process, which is timedemanding for faculty professors. During the virtual assessment, it was possible to evaluate several students’ skills, such as clinical performance, student’s behavior, and attitudes. As for the students’ self-developing processes, this evaluation method requires a deeper understanding of each clinical case in a primary care setting. After the simulation was over, students received the instructors’ feedback, which strengths their self-learning process. In the context of the pandemic and remote activities, the virtual mini-CEX has shown as a powerful tool and as an alternative to traditional written tests. Virtual mini-CEX is also capable of stimulating students and enhance different skills.

Metodologias ativas tornam o ensino-aprendizado mais interessante e atrativo aos estudantes. Uma dessas metodologias é a Aprendizagem Baseada em Problemas (PBL) que vem sendo utilizada em todos os níveis da educação. O objetivo deste artigo é aplicar a metodologia PBL a uma turma do componente Relatividade, em que os alunos estudaram e analisaram duas viagens espaciais relativísticas aceleradas que partiriam da Terra no ano de 2100 para dois diferentes sistemas estelares, calculando a duração dessas viagens tanto para os tripulantes das naves quanto para quem permaneceu na Terra. Para a realização do estudo, a turma foi dividida em grupos que produziram e apresentaram relatórios de viagem para cada uma das viagens com diferentes acelerações. Os resultados encontrados na resolução do problema mostram a influência da aceleração das naves na dilatação do tempo e que não se pode desprezar os intervalos de tempo em que as naves estão aceleradas. A aplicação da metodologia incentivou os estudantes a se envolverem de forma prática e colaborativa na resolução de um problema complexo, desenvolvendo e aprimorando habilidades de raciocínio lógico e crítico tanto para a resolução do problema quanto para a análise de seus resultados e, além disso, fez os alunos se empenharem de forma dinâmica e construtiva nas aulas do componente curricular.

As unidades armazenadoras desempenham um papel estratégico na cadeia de suprimentos de indústrias, atacado, varejo e produção agropecuária, tanto sob viés qualitativo quanto no quantitativo, sendo um dos maiores representantes dos custos logísticos totais. A escolha baseada em critérios de sua localização pode gerar redução de custos, aumento de renda e participação de mercado. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi fazer uma revisão sistemática de literatura (RSL) sobre tomada de decisão de localização de armazéns utilizando o método AHP com o objetivo de levantar o estado da arte, as tendências e lacunas de pesquisa existentes sobre esse tema. Os resultados foram analisados no VosViewer e R/Bibliometrix, classificados e codificados, resultando em uma estrutura analítica de dados, com recomendações, visando orientar pesquisas futuras. Dentre os resultados principais destacam-se a utilização de Delphi para identificação de critérios, as tendências de utilização de metodologias integradas ao AHP, como GP (Goal Programming) e SIG, e a necessidade de aumento de estudos desse tema para a armazenagem agropecuária.

Jack Cohen founded Tesco in 1919 as a market stall. It is now the UK's largest supermarket chain and a global retail giant. Tesco has expanded its product line and added technologies during the past century to meet client needs. Tesco provides food, apparel, gadgets, and financial services to a large audience with a customer-focused and adaptive strategy. Operational efficiency benefits Tesco. It operates Tesco Extra hypermarkets, Tesco Express convenience stores, and its website. Tesco targets specific populations with different models, giving short shopping trips and wider store selections. To reduce costs and increase product availability, Tesco optimizes its supply chain. Early adoption of AI-driven inventory management and self-checkout technologies optimizes operations and improves shopping. Tesco's strategy includes marketing. Value, quality, and convenience have made Tesco a great brand. Customer loyalty is maintained with Clubcard's personalized discounts and awards depending on shopping habits. This increases repeat business and gives Tesco consumer data for marketing and stocking decisions. Tesco faces growing competition, changing consumer behavior toward online shopping, inflation, and supply chain disruptions. To compete, Tesco must innovate and adapt to customer expectations and market situations. Therefore, operational efficiency, customer-centric marketing, and sustainability drive Tesco's long-term success. In a changing retail market, it must be agile to expand and lead.
