Authors: Zaušková Anna , Kusá Alena , Kubovics Michal , Ščepková Simona , Miklenčičová Renáta
Published: April 2022

The researched countries, which include the V4 countries, Serbia and Bulgaria, are working to exploit the potential that digitization offers under the Industry 4.0 concept. The rise of Industry 4.0 has resulted in tools such as machine learning, big data, automation, and robotics. In the current environment, we observe it in almost every business entity and across the V4 countries, Serbia and Bulgaria. Awareness of Industry 4.0 continues to grow in the current environment, precisely as a result of the expansion of Industry 4.0. The countries studied are taking Industry 4.0 tools to a new level. To obtain an up-to-date picture of the researched issue, our own questionnaire survey was used, which was used to examine and analyze the current level of Industry 4.0, and the results included in this paper can be compared with the results of the current level of Industry 4.0 in other countries. In order to obtain objective results from the questionnaire survey, five research areas were determined using five hypotheses. The main benefit of the paper lies in the interpretation of the results of the authors' scientific research, which point to the current level and rate of use of Industry 4.0 tools in the defined areas.

Authors: Milčić Dragan , Mitić Dragan , Radović Nenad , Milčić Miodrag , Đurić Aleksija
Published: April 2022

Existing standards require welded joints with full penetration. It is considered that welded joints with complete penetration minimize the stress concentration in the root passage. However, there are numerous situations in the industry, in which the load-bearing capacity of the welded joint with partial penetration is satisfactory. If the tests of partially penetrated welds show satisfactory load capacity, the benefits compared to fully penetrated welds are reflected in lower costs, ie less time is required to prepare the joint, less additional material is needed, ie shorter time is required to make the welded joint. The paper presents the testing of butt welded joints of structural steel S355N, with partial penetration, achieved by the MAG welding in the overhead position (PD) in the protection of the gas mixture. The samples were welded with different welding parameters and with different joint preparation, and the tests were performed by non destructive methods (visual inspection, testing with penetrants and magnetic particles) and destructive methods - tension and bending tests, Vickers hardness testing.
Serbia's national welding capability (NWC) and its significance to the UN sustainable development goals (SDGs)
Authors: Smallbone Chris
Published: April 2022

The International Institute of Welding (IIW) through its IIW Board of Directors Working Group Regional Activities and Liaison with Developing Countries (WGRA) introduced in 1994 the unique IIW WeldCare Programme to assist developing countries to improve their national welding capabilities particularly through the establishment and/or growth of a not-for-profit national welding organisation. Since then, IIW WGRA has assisted many countries freely through the holding of IIW technology innovation workshops, governance workshops and International Congresses as well as providing them with information, experiences and documentation on successful activities particularly from experiences in South Africa, Australia and globally. As an extension and expansion of the IIW WeldCare Programme through IIW WGRA, a project "Establishing a National Welding Capability (NWC)" was created and managed by the author. Several very successful NWC workshops have been held since then to assist not only developing countries but also developed countries which could utilise them to improve their national welding capabilities. These have included Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Greece, Hungary, South Africa, India, New Zealand and Thailand amongst others. Based on feedback from the workshops and International Congresses held, the need for 11 comprehensive guidance notes with links to a knowledge resource bank were identified. Improving a country's National Welding Capability can make a significant contribution to, and have a very positive effect on, many national and international programmes including the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). When one considers the networks which the IIW, its 50 Member countries, universities, colleges, research organisations and companies involved in welding have, bringing all the available welding resources to assist in achieving the SDGs can have a remarkable positive effect globally on all countries. UNESCO published a report titled "Engineering for Sustainable Development: Delivering on the Sustainable Development Goals". There is no reason why a similar initiative could not be undertaken for the welding field. This paper can serve as a catalyst, and the National Welding Capability Project as the basis, for such a report. It is hoped that this paper will stimulate ideas amongst the international welding community for feedback to the author and dissemination into countries to improve their SDGs.
Ownership Transfer of Sovereign Sukuk’s Assets: A Shariah and Legal Analysis
Authors: Soualhi Younes
Published: April 2022

The research addresses the possibility of transferring the assets of sovereign sukuk in view of the fact that such assets belongs to both the state and the public. Since the current sovereign issuances have been debated on their Shariah compliance, this research aims to revisit and re-establish the Shariah and legal principles on the basis of which sovereign sukuk could be issued. The research emphasizes beneficial interest as a Shariah and legal basis for a government to issue sukuk. Equally important is the principle related to the validity of restricting ownership of a sold asset with prior conditions. Another principle is public interest dictated mainly by economic factors justifying the issuance of sovereign sukuk. In its attempt to establish sound Shariah and legal principles of sovereign sukuk and by reevaluating existing established principles, this research adopts a qualitative method of literary survey by analyzing and establishing Shariah and legal principles for sovereign sukuk from current debates and discussions. Outcome of research confirms five major Shariah and legal principles forming the grounds for sovereign sukuk. The research proposes two general structures of sukuk to avoid uncertainty (gharar) in view of objections raised by some renowned Shariah authorities.
Insurer’s Right to Takaful Benefit: Review on al-Takhrījāt al-Fiqhiyyah for Takaful Benefit and the Attribution of Its Ownership to the Insurer.
Authors: Ahmad Mohd Kamil
Published: April 2022

This study seeks to discover the Shariah status of takaful benefit payable upon the demise of the policy holder. The question asked: Is by merely entering into a takaful contract entitles the policy holder to the death benefit, or it is yet to be part of his/her estate unless the insured peril materialized; a decision which will steer how takaful benefit should be distributed among the deserved beneficiaries. Building on qualitative method by adopting descriptive, inductive, and, analytical approach, this study brings an overview of the concept and application of takaful in Malaysia, before discussing some juristic interpretation of takaful benefit. It concludes that the takaful benefit as it is known in Malaysian takaful industry; which is the part of money taken from tabarru’ fund is considered as the policy holder’s estate from the beginning. This is based on the ground that the contract of al iltizam bi al tabarru’ generates a debt upon the takaful fund on the policy holder in the form of takaful benefit. A debt is owned by the creditor, so as takaful benefit.
Prominent Islamic Features in Selected Novels of Najeeb al-Kilani: A Critical Analysis
Authors: Toklubok Pabiyah , Muhd Zulkifli Ismail
Published: April 2022

Writers possess their own literary styles in expressing their literary creativities whereupon it is concurrently argued that their surrounding environment may have produced evocative impacts on their literary works. Indeed, almost all literary inspirations behind their creative works can be traced to reflections of their vibrant life experiences. However, these experiences, coupled with facts expressed creatively, differ from those of scholars in their presentations of information, where it is argued that writers also depict elements of imaginations and express them in aesthetic ways. With this claim in view, this study aims to examine the prominent Islamic literary features in nine selected novels by Najeeb Al-Kilani, one of the pioneers of contemporary Arabic and Islamic literature. Najeeb’s literary works have contributed immensely to the literary evolution of Arabic and Islamic literature with his novels filling the annals in the mid-twentieth of literary scholarship century. Thus, it is concluded that Najib’s immediate environment and his own meaningful life experiences have been reflected in his novels suggesting their own life-changing impacts. Among Najib’s notable experiences influencing his literary works are his village, hometown community and the prison society he experienced. Equally important are his medical profession and the roles of the Sheikhs in the reform of the society.

Authors: Elham Mohammad Alhaj Yousef  , Eman Abdel Khalik Fseifes
Published: April 2022

The study aims at investigating the relative effectiveness of monetary and fiscal policies on economic growth of Jordan during the period 1977- 2019 using Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) methodology. The variables of the study were integrated of different orders as indicated by Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) unit root test. Bounds cointegration test revealed that there is a cointegrated long-run relationship between the study variables. The study results showed that there is a statistically significant positive long-run relationship between real GDP and each of broad money supply and total government expenditures. Moreover, the long-run coefficient of money supply was much greater than that of government expenditures, implying that the effectiveness of monetary policy is higher than that of fiscal policy in affecting the economic performance, and both policies can be implemented to stimulate the economic growth in Jordan. Therefore, the study recommends the Jordanian government to improve the management of fiscal policy by controlling its current expenditures, increasing the productive investments, as well as applying a comprehensive tax reform in order to strengthen the role of fiscal policy in boosting the economic growth.
Translation Analysis of Figurative Language in the Novel of Khān Al- Khalīlī By Naguib Mahfouz
Authors: Muh. Naim Madjid
Published: April 2022

This study presents an analysis of translation of the Figurative Language (FL) in the novel of Khān AlKhalīlī by Naguib Mahfouz and its translation book, Lelaki Dalam Pasungan by Pahruroji M. Bukhori. The theory stems from the author’s analysis of several problems: there are many words that do not reflect the original meanings, particularly in figurative expression, the other words have been wrongly translated, and some words in the source text have not been translated into their target language. The result is that the translation given seems awkward and blurred. Descriptive analysis approach is used in this qualitative research based on the generalization of a corpus literary study, that the collection of standardized samples would yield a reliable response. Data was obtained using a Simple Random Sampling (SRS) with a fishbowl drawing method from 11 chapters of the story evaluated in four categories of FL: metonymy, synecdoche, paradox, and hyperbole. The translator used four translation methods: Literal Translation (LT), Free Translation (FT), Idiomatic Translation (IT), and Semantic Translation (ST). The consequence of the analysis reports 3 samples of LT for synecdoche, two for paradox, and one for hyperbole. There are two examples of metonymy, one in paradox and one in hyperbole. One IT sample appears in the metonymy and one ST sample appears in the hyperbole. Furthermore, this work is expected to help the readers to resolve translation problems, especially in literary texts.
Constructed Fear of Poverty: The Power of Identity and the Identity of Power Among Youths
Authors: Mohd Hussain Rosila Bee
Published: April 2022

While discussing youth, less attention is paid to their fear towards the issue of poverty and how this fear could affect their identity formation. This paper aims to outline how urban youth construct their fear of poverty and how this issue is affecting their identity formation. The research was conducted using both the quantitative and qualitative designs. 720 respondents were involved in the survey. 30 of these respondents were chosen to be involved in three Focus Group Discussion sessions. This study demonstrated that youth’s idea of fear is based on real situations and the ‘possible fear’ is to avoid this threat in the first place. The results identified that economic situation is the main contributing factor for one to be in poverty followed by the lack of education, lack of governmental support and lack of societal support. Finally, this study shows that by identifying this fear, it is hoped that the youths will have stronger confidence in their identity and self in relation to the current world context.
Takharuj-Based Model to Optimize Productive Land Distribution
Authors: Noordin, N.  , A. Kadir, N.  , Mhd Saiful Anuar, D.S.
Published: April 2022

Most Muslims believe that Faraid is the ultimate rule to distribute inheritance. Faraid implementation may cause issues on land distribution. When a small piece of land is subdivided among the legal heirs, the portion of land received might be insufficient to even build a house. The awareness on Takharuj concept which is based on mutual consent in inheritance distribution may help solve this problem. The aim of this research is to optimize land distribution and land use. Specific assumptions were made to lineage, family ties and land criteria. This article reports the use of Goal Programming to formulate a Takharuj-based model that can solve issues regarding productivity of land that has been distributed using Faraid laws. Goals set for the programming were to minimize the deviations for the portion of land and to minimize the number of heirs who owns the piece of land after combination. A list of possible combinations of the arable land size was generated. The model was able to select the optimal combination based on the minimum weighted sum of deviations from the goals that were set. Therefore, this research has successfully provided a useful Takharuj-based model to optimize the arable land size where the land owned by each qualified heir can be categorized as a productive land to be developed.
From Rights to Women’s Rights: Malaysian Experience
Authors: Nik Saleh Nik Salida Suhaila
Published: April 2022

This paper explores the philosophical idea of human rights to consider the meaning of the term ‘rights’. There are huge amounts of work being done in defining the term ‘rights’. ‘Rights’ is defined by most human rights scholars in a four-separate perspective, as a claim, immunity, a freedom and a power. These concrete meaning of ‘rights’ might be revealed from Hohfeld’s idea of ‘rights’ that may be used in a rigid sense of the right-holder’s claim to something with a correlative duty. The emergence of a new consciousness of the patterns of discrimination against women and a rise in the number of organizations committed to combating the effect of such discrimination in 1960s, called the Government of Malaysia to show its support not only by setting up organisations, but also by allocating funds. However, there are critiques that justice for women is impossible to be upheld in Malaysia because the Government reserves few articles of the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women due to its inconsistencies with Shariah. Therefore, it is critical to comprehend the Islamic ideals of human rights concept and principles and value the progress of women’s rights in Malaysia.

Finally, this study concluded that Al-Johori’s work is significant when used as an educational idea for women in order to produce a society that is strengthened with knowledge.
Pun-based jokes and linguistic creativity: designing 3R-module
Authors: Aleksandrova Elena
Published: April 2022

The development of creativity becomes a significant issue in the era of automation and information technologies. Linguistic creativity can increase the inventiveness and resourcefulness of the representatives of philological professions. We consider humour as a tool that helps to develop personal creativity. Verbal play as a form of humour is considered as one of the ways to improve linguistic creativity. The 3L-course of linguistic creativity is aimed at developing lingual, localisation & translation, and literary creativity. The 3L-course includes 3R-module designed to improve the ability to recognise, reproduce in another language, and recreate pun-based linguistic inventions and innovations. The 3R-module tasks are based: on the similarity of activity, the similarity of the modality of the stimulus material, the number of languages, and the types of language units. The 3R-module involves the 3T-stage model (transparency, training, and testing).The 3S-test based on sense-finding, solution-finding, and scope-finding tasks revealed that the combination of 3R-module with the 3T-stage model in the scope of the 3L-course would help improve the quantity and quality of ideas and avoid stalemates when creating linguistic inventions. The 3L-course can be useful for philological students, writers, translators, journalists, copywriters, native and foreign language teachers because it helps improve personal creativity and productivity.
“Kwatakwata by June diεε…”
Authors: Phillips-Kumaga Lillian , Hansen-Garshong Rachael , Ackom Christian Kobina , Teku Charity Ama , Osei-Tutu Annabella
Published: April 2022

The first phase of the COVID-19 pandemic has been described as stressful. People make light of stressful situations in different ways. Ghanaians are known to be able to make humour out of any situation. During the first phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, Ghanaians shared memes and posters on social media, making light of the seriousness of the problem. "Kwatakwata by June diεε…" shortened from the phrase: "kwatakwata by June diεε na obiara awu" to wit "Latest by June, we will all be dead" has become a catchphrase on social media and the streets of Ghana to make fun of the serious impact of the virus. This current study examines internet humour that became popular with Ghanaians during the first phase of the COVID-19 pandemic in Ghana. We examined videos, memes, and posters from various social media sites to learn about the Ghanaian use of humour during a public health crisis. Content analysis of the data showed that Ghanaians created humorous content to express how they felt about what was going on and also educate citizens about the pandemic. Recurring themes within the content analysis include  humour concerning death, isolation, and keeping children occupied.  We note that Ghanaians largely used self-enhancing humour.  We discuss these themes to show the types of internet humour Ghanaians shared during the first phase of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Translating humorous literature from Vietnamese into Italian language: an empirical study of humour reception
Authors: Le Thuy Hien
Published: April 2022

The empirical study presented in this article aims to determine some of the linguistic and cultural elements that can influence the production process and the reception of humour and to verify the applicability of the General Theory of Verbal Humor (GTVH) to humorous literary translation. 60 Vietnamese and 60 Italian participants had to read and rate the level of humorousness of excerpts taken from the Vietnamese novel Số Đỏ (Vũ Trọng Phụng, 1936) and its correspondent Italian translation (Il gioco indiscreto di Xuan, 2012). By comparing their feedback, it was possible to observe that one is more likely to appreciate humour when one is not part of the categories subject to ridicule/irony/satire; and that a direct contact with the original language and culture constitutes an important role in humour understanding and appreciating. Also, a comparison between the rating that the Italian participants assigned to the official Italian translation and an alternative version allowed us to analyze the role of Language Knowledge Resource (GTVH). According to the Italian participants, although the two versions of the translation, which share the first five levels of Knowledge Resources, were remarkably similar (as predicted by the GTVH), they were dissimilar in terms of humour and in readers' preferences. I therefore argue that, although the GTVH is a useful tool for analyzing and verifying the similarity between the source and target text, it has proved to be impractical and not always reliable if we want to use it as a parameter of the translation of literary humorous texts.
Joke identification, comprehension and appreciation by Spanish intermediate ESL learners: an exploratory study
Authors: Arróniz Parra Santiago , Padilla Cruz Manuel
Published: April 2022

This paper reports on an exploratory study examining joke identification, appreciation and comprehension by Spanish intermediate ESL learners. The study is based on a relevance-theoretic classification of jokes, which assumes that humorousness results from manipulation of three parametres: make-sense frames, cultural information and utterance interpretation. It firstly ascertains whether Spanish ESL learners recognise orally-delivered samples of seven types of purportedly jocular texts. Secondly, it examines whether these learners actually regard such texts as comical and why. Finally, it looks into the learners’ interpretative problems in order to single out which joke type(s) is/are more challenging. The study relies on quantitative and qualitative data elicited through an online questionnaire comprising four tasks. The results indicate no correlation between joke identification and appreciation, and independence of successful joke recognition from sophisticated interpretative skills. Jokes involving invalidation of an activated make-sense frame were most easily identified and found most funny, but jokes exploiting cancellation of an initial, seemingly plausible, interpretation posed more difficulties.

Authors: Upadhyay Shreya , Verma Neha
Published: April 2022

Introduction: Stroke is the major cause of disability and death in the world. More than 80% of stroke survivors face walking impairment due to muscle weakness, incoordination and spasticity. For physical rehabilitation of patients with neurological conditions combination of approaches are used. Visual cuing techniques are useful approaches for rehabilitation but the effect of visual cue training for gait and walking velocity is less explored for a patient with chronic stroke. Aim: To determine the effect of visual cue training on gait and walking velocity in subjects with chronic stroke. Materials and Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study in which 38 patients of chronic stroke were selected from various physiotherapy Outpatient Departments (OPD), of Surat, Gujarat from January 2019 to August 2020. Samples were randomly allocated into two groups, group A and group B; conventional and experimental group respectively. Group A was given conventional training and group B was given visual cue training along with conventional training for three days a week, 20 minutes/session. Both groups received conventional training five days a week, for four weeks. Dynamic Gait Index (DGI) and walking velocity were taken as an outcome measure and checked before intervention and after the end of four weeks of intervention. Statistical analysis was done using Statistical Package of the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 16.0. Paired t-test was carried out for within group comparison. Results: The results of the study indicates that there was significant difference in DGI and walking speed preintervention and postintervention in both the groups (p<0.001). The mean difference of DGI in group A and B was 1.94±0.52 and 3. 26±0.99, respectively (p<0.001). The result of the study suggests that there is greater improvement in visual cue training group. Conclusion: The present study results conclude that visual cue training along with conventional training shows greater improvements in gait and walking velocity than the conventional training alone.

Authors: Damodaran Athul , Velu Gopinathan Kathir , Jagannathan Devimeenal
Published: April 2022

Introduction: Peritoneal Carcinomatosis Index (PCI) is used to assess the extent of peritoneal cancer by dividing the peritoneal cavity into 13 well-defined regions and assessing the size of the largest tumour nodule in each region. Aim: To evaluate the imaging features of peritoneal carcinomatosis using Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and correlate it with diagnostic laparotomy. Also to To determine the prognostic significance of peritoneal carcinomatosis index calculated radiologically in predicting the outcome of advanced ovarian malignancies. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective cohort study conducted in Kilpauk Medical College, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India, from July 2019 to December 2020. Total of 50 females between 18-80 years of age with advanced ovarian malignancies with peritoneal deposits underwent CT and MRI to calculate initial PCI. Then these patients underwent cytoreductive debulking after which final response was assessed. Followedup for a period of 1 year to assess the treatment response and to look for any complications. IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Descriptive analysis was carried out using mean and standard deviation for quantitative variables. Results: Fifty women were included with a mean age of 53.4 years. PCI calculated using CT and MRI showed strong correlation with laparoscopic PCI with correlation coefficient (r) of 0.984 and 0.988 respectively with a statistically significant p-value <0.001. Initial radiological PCI and cytoreduction showed strong correlation when analysed using ROC curve (Receiver Operating Characteristic curve) with an AUC (Area under the ROC Curve) of 0.933. With Youden index a cut-off value of 11 was derived under which patients had optimal cytoreduction and a better outcome. Radiological PCI showed good sensitivity (82.35%) and specificity (88.78) for predicting complications and it was found that patients with PCI >15 were at a higher risk for developing various complications. Conclusion: Radiological PCI strongly correlate with laparoscopic PCI and is a very strong predictor of disease outcome in advanced ovarian malignancies. It was found that patients with high PCI values had poor response to cytoreductive surgery and chemotherapy. So, high initial PCI values above 11 was indicative of poor patient prognosis.

This study is intended to identify barely genotypes efficient for water use. For this, a field experiment was conducted at Sakha Research Station. The experimental design was randomize complete block with three replicates during 2018/2019 and 2019/2020 growing seasons. Twenty barely genotypes were grown under two water application treatments ((full irrigation (FI) and water stress (WS)). The values of applied irrigation water were 3430 and 1995 m3/ha under WS and FI, respectively, being lower by 42%, compared to FI amount, average over the two seasons. The interaction between barley genotypes and irrigation water revealed that plant height of line-7, spike length and number of grains/spike of line-6, number of spikes/m2 of Giza133, and grain and biological yields of line-5 were the least affected by WS, compared with their values under FI.  The highest values of WUE under WS were found for line-6 and line-11, which also attained the highest WP Line-8 and line-13, expressed the highest value of mean productivity, geometric mean productivity and stress tolerance indices. Furthermore, line-7 had the highest value of stress susceptibility index. Thus, based on WUE, WP and drought tolerance indices, it could be concluded that line-6, line-7, line-8, line-11 and line-13 have the ability to withstand water stress and could be selected for breeding programs for water use efficiency.

Compared with the extensive studies in yeast and mammalian models, the molecular details and significance of post‐translational modifications (PTMs) in the autophagy process in plants remain less well defined. In this review, we discuss recent progress in our understanding of phosphorylation, one of the most extensively studied PTMs, in the regulation of autophagosome biogenesis and autophagic degradation in plants. Based on the plant mass spectrometric database, we summarize the experimentally verified phosphorylation sites of the core autophagy machinery in plants. Furthermore, we put forward several approaches to test the roles of phosphorylation in the regulation of plant autophagy.

The work aims to reveal relationship between solution temperature, microstructure, and mechanical properties of Ti–5Al5Mo5V3Cr1Zr (Ti‐55 531) alloy. The alloys are prepared via solution processing in a temperature ranging from T
β − 100 °C (where T
β is β‐transus temperature) to T
β + 100 °C for 2 h; and then air cooled, aged at 600 °C for 6 h, and air cooled again. Results indicate that solution temperature range (from T
β − 100 °C to T
β + 100 °C) can be divided into following five ranges according to performance of Ti‐55 531 alloy. The alloy presents excellent mechanical performance combining high strength and good ductility for solution temperatures ranging from T
β − 50 °C to T
β − 30 °C and from T
β + 10 °C to T
β + 30 °C. Interestingly, the Ti‐55 531 alloy exhibits a dramatically enhanced strength, while ductility drops rapidly as solution temperature exceeds T
β + 70 °C. The enhanced strength's main reason is that grain boundary α phase changes from continuous to discontinuous with increasing solution temperature; nevertheless, the increased size of β grains results in a reduction in ductility. Thus, continuity of grain boundary α phase has a dramatical influence on performance of Ti‐55 531 alloy.

Van der Waals (vdW) magnetic heterostructures can offer much improved performance in logical operation and information storage technology compared with conventional ones. However, it is still challenging to achieve the perfect spin‐filtering capability in the vdW magnetic devices, a major obstacle to the advancement of low‐dimensional magnetic information storage. Herein, this study reports two newly designed vdW magnetic multilayers, ZrTe2/CrOCl/CrOX/ZrTe2 (X = Cl, Br), where the CrOCl/CrOX bilayer acts as the spin‐filter tunnel barriers. With the vdW interfacial engineering and the doubly spin‐filtering effect of the CrOCl/CrOX bilayer, the vdW four‐layer heterostructures can potentially function as a perfect zero‐bias spin filter with giant spin‐filter energy‐dependent tunnel magnetoresistance up to 48 000%. Importantly, these calculations also show that the CrOCl/CrOBr bilayer without the 1T‐ZrTe2 stacking can produce intensive and weak photo‐carrier transmission at parallel and antiparallel magnetization states, respectively. As such, the two contrasting photoelectric responses can be implemented for encoding the digital information as “‘1”’ and “‘0”’ via flipping the interlayer magnetic states. These novel functionalities not only endow the CrOCl/CrOX bilayer as a promising candidate for spin‐based vdW devices but also facilitate the future development of atomically thin magnetic information storage.

Conventional wound closure and dressing are two crucial, time‐consuming but isolated principles in wound care. Even though tissue adhesive opens a new era for wound closure, the method and biomaterial that can simultaneously achieve noninvasive wound closure and promote wound healing are highly appreciated. Herein, a novel supramolecular poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) hybrid hydrogel dressing composed of quaternized chitosan‐graft‐β‐cyclodextrin, adenine, and polypyrrole nanotubes via host–guest interaction and hydrogen bonds is developed. The hydrogel demonstrates thermal contraction of 47% remaining area after 2 h at 37 ℃ and tissue adhesion of 5.74 kPa, which are essential for noninvasive wound closure, and multiple mechanical and biological properties including suitable mechanical properties, self‐healing, on‐demand removal, antioxidant, hemostasis, and photothermal/intrinsic antibacterial activity (higher 99% killing ratio within 5 min after irradiation). In both full‐thickness skin incision and excision wound models, the hydrogel reveals significant wound closure after 24 h post‐surgery. In acute and methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus‐infected wound and photothermal/intrinsic antibacterial activity assays, wounds treated with the hydrogel demonstrate enhanced wound healing with rapid wound closure rate, mild inflammatory response, advanced angiogenesis, and well‐arranged collagen fibers. Altogether, the results indicate the hydrogel is promising in synchronously noninvasive wound closure and enhanced wound healing.

β‐Ga2O3 solar‐blind photodetectors (PDs) are attracting great attention for broad applications. However, their detection sensitivities are still lower than expected after tremendous efforts. The phenomenon of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) offers another approach beyond conventional techniques to engineer the photodetection performance, but extending the plasmonic properties into the deep‐ultraviolet region faces severe challenges, among which strictly controlling the nanostructures structural properties is extremely prominent besides material selection. Herein, well‐defined Al@Al2O3 core−shell nanostructure arrays are fabricated with sub‐50 nm feature sizes, narrow dimension distributions, periodic graphene‐like patterns, and extremely high densities (up to 152.7 counts µm−2). The decorated β‐Ga2O3 PDs exhibit significantly enhanced sensitivities without response spectra broadening. Particularly, the sample with a 42‐nm nanostructure array possesses an ultrahigh specific detectivity (4.22 × 1015 Jones), being one of the top among film‐type gallium oxide PDs, and an excellent responsivity of 216.0 A W−1 peaked at 235 nm. Moreover, the passivation effect of self‐terminating native oxide shell is confirmed. The finite‐difference time‐domain simulations based on isolated, dimer, and arrayed models not only demonstrate the presence of LSPR, but also reveal the critical contribution of nanostructure density. The findings provide an alternative platform to break the bottleneck and develop ultra‐sensitive, truly solar‐blind PDs for advanced optoelectronic systems.

Photoresponsivity is a fundamental process that constitutes optoelectronic devices. In molecular junction devices, one of the most adopted strategies is to employ photoactive molecules that can undergo conformational change upon light illumination as the conduction channel. However, such devices suffer from their relatively low photoresponsivity, long switching time, and unidirectional switching. In this study, the authors employed organohalide perovskite (OHP)/graphene heterojunction as a photoactive electrode that acted a source of photo‐generated carriers collected as photocurrent in self‐assembled monolayer (SAM)‐based molecular junctions. This hybrid device architecture of perovskite/graphene/SAM allows the molecular junctions to attain a high photoresponsivity with molecules that have intrinsically little photoresponse. The authors elucidate the role of the molecular SAM in enhancing the photoresponsivity by systematically examining the transport and charge transfer processes at the graphene/SAM interface via molecules with different intrinsic dipole moments. This, corroborated with a theoretical analysis, reveals the origin of the observed photoresponsivity as light‐induced coupling between the SAM and the OHP/graphene electrode within the orbital‐mediated resonant tunnelling transport regime. These findings advance the understanding of photo‐induced charge transport in molecular junctions with heterointerfaces, providing a road‐map for designing high‐performance molecular optoelectronic devices based on hybrid device architecture.

Terahertz waves have widespread applications in various fields ranging from wireless communication to fundamental physics. Achieving bright and broadband terahertz sources still remains a challenge. Recent research has revealed that all‐dielectric metasurfaces with strong electromagnetic resonances and negligible Ohmic loss can enhance nonlinear optical processes and weaken the influences of phase‐matching conditions, providing new opportunities for developing terahertz sources. Here, an all‐dielectric metasurface supporting quasi‐BIC (bound states in the continuum), which enhances terahertz emission in a nonlinear optical film under the excitation of femtosecond laser pulses, is proposed. It is observed that the terahertz emission in lithium niobate (LiNbO3) films is enhanced up to 17 times by a silicon dioxide metasurface and that the terahertz emission enhancement spans the frequency range in 0.1–4.5 THz. This mechanism for the terahertz emission enhancement is attributed to the tight confinement of the pump field in the LNibO3 which is caused by quasi‐BIC resonances. The all‐dielectric metasurface is patterned on the LiNbO3 film instead of etching it, providing a simple way for engineering nonlinear optical processes in LiNbO3. This work paves the way for broadband terahertz emitters.
