Authors: Ordóñez Fernández María Manuela , Alonso Ferreiro Almudena
Published: December 2023

The application of the advances in the research on the functioning of the brain, technological development and neurotechnology represent a new way of personalizing the teaching and learning process, finding that the improvement in Executive Functions implies an improvement in academic performance. This prompted the present Systematic Literature Review, which explores how technologies affect the development and improvement of these Executive Functions, in the literature of the last decade. The principles of the PRISMA-2020 declaration are followed. A search was carried out in five databases (Scopus, WoS, ERIC, Scielo and Dialnet), initially finding 255 publications. After applying the exclusion/inclusion criteria, there were 9 articles left, that make up the final sample. The results show a predominance of a clinical approach, with pre-test/post-test methodological designs, in which the technology offers satisfactory results. There is little research on the potential of digital technologies to work on executive functions in the educational field, which implies the need for further psychopedagogical research, incorporating an active and creative role of the subjects, since these functions are established as predictors of academic progress.

Clustering Tweets Data on Twitter Social Media Using K-Means Method
Authors: Surianto Dewi Fatmarani
Published: December 2023

Twitter, as a popular social media with millions to billions of global users, stores a wide variety of information. This study focuses on the use of Text Mining to analyze tweet content through the application of clustering techniques, specifically using the K-Means algorithm. The implementation process involves several stages of text processing, including casefolding, tokenizing, stopword removal, and stemming. Feature extraction is performed to provide input for the K-Means algorithm. The clustering evaluation uses the Silhouette coefficient method. The test results show that different K values result in a variation of the silhouette value. In a particular test scenario, a value of K=2 resulted in a silhouette of 0.5000421, K=5 had a value of 0.0501051, and K=9 had a value of 0.501893. From these values, the data structure of the dataset taken can be categorized as medium structure, because the silhouette value is in the range of 0.5 to 0.7. These results show that cluster quality is influenced by the K value, with the silhouette value being the main determinant.
Danskerne og det engelske sprog – dengang og nu
Authors: Thøgersen Jacob , Preisler Bent
Published: December 2023

I denne artikel undersøger vi hvordan danskeres selvoplevede kompetencer i, kontakt med og holdninger til det engelske sprog har ændret sig fra tiden omkring årtusindskiftet til i dag. Metoden er to spørgeskemasurveys med repræsentativ respondentudvælgelse i henholdsvis 1995–1996 og 2022. Surveyet, der blev gennemført i 1995–1996, er det som lå til grund for Preislers undersøgelse Danskerne og det engelske sprog (1999). Surveyet i 2022 blev gennemført inden for forskningsprojektet English and Globalisation in Denmark (Enida) og var (stort set) en gentagelse af Preislers undersøgelse. I begge surveys er respondenterne stillet de samme spørgsmål for at holde så mange ting som muligt konstante og sikre sammenligningsgrundlaget. Resultaterne viser at 1) yngre generationer rapporterer at de har højere kompetencer end ældre; og at en persons oplevelse af egne kompetencer er relativt stabil livet igennem. Med andre ord er danskernes engelskkompetencer blevet højere i takt med at de generationer der kan mindre engelsk, forsvinder og nye, engelskstærkere, generationer kommer til. 2) kontakten med engelsk er generelt øget, også i den enkeltes levetid, og det er især den ’produktive’ kontakt (tale og skrive) der er øget, mere end den ’receptive’ (høre og se). 3) danskeres holdninger til engelsk er blevet mere yderliggående, både i positiv og (især) i negativ retning. Ud over at fremlægge resultater overvejer vi de samfundshistoriske forhold som har forårsaget forandringerne, og vi diskuterer om det overhovedet er muligt at undersøge holdninger to gange med det samme spørgeskema.
Én lang vokallyd?
Authors: Schachtenhaufen Ruben
Published: December 2023

Dansk beskrives ofte som ekstremt vokalrigt og konsonantfattigt. ’Udtalesjusk’ beskyldes for at føre til at konsonanter bliver til vokaler eller forsvinder så dansk nærmest er en lang vokalstrøm med 40 forskellige vokaler, hvor man ikke kan høre hvor et ord slutter, og det næste starter. På den baggrund fremstilles dansk ofte som et aparte og særligt vanskeligt sprog at lære både for udlændinge og danskere selv. I denne artikel diskuteres det om det er rimeligt at fremstille dansk som aparte på dette punkt, og der argumenteres for at man børe give et mere nuanceret billede af dansk fonetik. Dette gøres fra flere forskellige vinkler, dels ved at se på hvor mange forskellige vokal- og konsonantlyde man kan skelne i dansk, dels ved at undersøge ratioen af konsonantlyde vs. vokallyde i en dansk udtaleordbog såvel som i løbende tale, dels i ordforrådet i det hele taget. Det undersøges også hvilken effekt spontan tale og udtaleforandringer har på konsonant-vokal-ratioen. På baggrund af disse undersøgelser dannes et mere balanceret billede af dansk som et relativt almindeligt sprog.
Aleksei Peterson in the Southern Veps Villages in 1965–1969: A Chapter from the History of Soviet Estonian Ethnography
Authors:   Estonian National Museum, Tartu, Estonia, Jääts Indrek
Published: December 2023

The article examines the five expeditions made by Aleksei Peterson, director of the Estonian Ethnography Museum, and his colleagues to the Southern Veps villages (Leningrad Oblast, northeastern Russia) in the late 1960s. These research trips marking the rebirth of the Finno-Ugric direction in Estonian ethnography (ethnology) constitute an important part of disciplinary history. The article, based mainly on fieldwork diaries, focuses on the everyday life during the research trips (logistic challenges, relations with local authorities and the Veps) and analyses the attitudes and knowledge production practices of Soviet Estonian ethnographers interested, above all, in traditional peasant culture.
The Contradictory Foundation of the Estonian Folklore Archives: Traditionality and Modernism, Unification and Segregation, and Basics of Authenticity
Authors:   Estonian Folklore Archives, Estonian Literary Museum, Tartu, Estonia, Saarlo Liina
Published: December 2023

The Estonian Folklore Archives (EFA) has intertwined with the basis of reasoning about folk and nation in many ways. The article discusses opposing concepts that affected the foundation of the institution and the development of its collections while altering according to prevailing ideologies. Traditionality and modernity, and unification and segregation were interlaced while constructing the Estonian nation during the period of national awakening (starting in the 1850s). In this modernist process the history of Estonians had to be (re)created. Country-wide folklore collection campaigns were organised, during which young people were gathering material from old people about culturally outdated genres and obsolete knowledge. These large collections became the basis of the EFA in independent Estonia and, according to erstwhile principles, the collection of folklore and filling in the white spots on the Estonian map continued. However, since there was no longer any threat to nationality, folklorists also began to experiment with new methods and study the genres, or social/national groups, which so far had been regarded as marginal or insignificant. The Soviet occupation was accompanied by major ideological changes. As a result of constant external pressure, folklorists enclosed themselves into ethno-centrist conservatism – folklore of Estonians and kindred peoples, archaic genres of peasants’ tradition – were preferred to be recorded and studied once again. Authenticity – the set of qualities of texts such as archaic, traditional, oral, or reliable – became the supreme principle for collecting and publishing. Interest in ethnic minorities and contemporary topics arose only at the end of the Soviet era, experiencing an explosive success in the re-independent Estonia.

Published: December 2023

The study that was conducted from September 2022 to April 2023 demonstrates how perceptions of seemingly stable times change in times of crisis (war in Ukraine, repressions, dictatorship, political censorship, etc.). The methodology used in the study allows us to record the reinterpretation of memorable dates and the emergence of new events significant for social media users. The data analysis allows us to form a post facto order of significant events of the end of August 2022 – April 2023. I have conditionally called this order of events a “mental calendar”. The research was aimed at a certain social group of Russian society – intellectuals, who play an important role in the public and media space. The ability to generate narratives, descriptive strategies and interpretive frameworks suggests that the research will allow for a cross-sectional analysis of the perceptions of the entire Russian society. It was fundamental to observe the Russian segment of social networks, those who did not leave and remained in Russia, because this reaction from within demonstrates the plurality of opinions, different survival strategies, etc. This approach yielded important results for understanding what was happening inside the aggressor country, but at the same time had a number of limitations, primarily in the disclosure of the respondents' personal data.
TAMNR: a network embedding learning algorithm using text attention mechanism
Authors: Zhang Wei , Ye Zhonglin , Zhao Haixing , Lin Jingjing , Ma Xiaojuan
Published: December 2023

Because many existing algorithms are mainly trained based on the structural features of the networks, the results are more inclined to the structural commonality of the networks. These algorithms ignore the rich external information and node attributes (such as node text content, community and labels,etc.) that have important implications for network data analysis tasks. Existing network embedding algorithms considering text features usually regard the co-occurrence words in the node’s text, or use an induced matrix completion algorithm to factorize the text feature matrix or the network structure feature matrix. Although this kind of algorithm can greatly improve the network embedding performance, they ignore the contribution rate of different co-occurrence words in the node’s text. This article proposes a network embedding learning algorithm combining network structure and co-occurrence word features, also incorporating an attention mechanism to model the weight information of the co-occurrence words in the model. This mechanism filters out unimportant words and focuses on important words for learning and training tasks, fully considering the impact of the different co-occurrence words to the model. The proposed network representation algorithm is tested on three open datasets, and the experimental results demonstrate its strong advantages in node classification, visualization analysis, and case analysis tasks.

Frankenstein’s Monster and the Qualitative Experience
Authors: Cañete Vera Marcela
Published: December 2023

The most fascinating topic treated in Mary Shelley’s novel, Frankenstein, is human nature and consciousness in non human beings. The novel’s character Viktor Frankenstein plays the role of the inventor of a being brought to life only by artificial means. This creature, though possessing the same physiological characteristics as human beings, has no conscience due to its non human, artificial precedence. However, he is constantly giving signs that he could be regarded as a conscious being, principally because of his use of language throughout the novel that expresses he is actually experiencing qualia. The present research paper will attempt to question the possibility of the existence of qualia phenomena in non human entities, based on the example of Frankenstein’s creature. The representation of Viktor Frankenstein’s creature in the novel as a subject with qualitative experience raises the question of whether he is conscious or rather an imitator of qualia, thus a philosophical zombie.

It is the middle of the afternoon, searing hot, as is often the case throughout autumn in downtown Santiago. In the park, the only slice of green inside a rumbling ocean of gray concrete rising vertically as it tumbles out horizontally, there are many reclining couples seeking surcease from the sun, entwined beneath the penumbras of trees, their humped shadows on cool grass like pooled silhouettes of black paint.

Published: December 2023

The rising popularity and increasing financial acceptance of cryptocurrency are having a profound impact on global scale. Unlike the current fiat currencies, bitcoins offer a unique possibility to predict their price. Despite the fact that many individuals are investing in cryptocurrencies, little is known about their dynamic properties and predictability, which puts money at risk. The aim of this paper is to evaluate and compare different regression algorithms in order to forecast the price of most popular cryptocurrency – Bitcons. Secondary bitcoin historical data from Kaggle which features an updated daily record of 24 variables over a seven-year period ARE considered. Since the bitcoin data is so volatile, we implemented an effective pre-processing of data in order to have a better prediction result. The different models applied include – Linear Regression, Ridge Regression, LASSO Regression and Elastic Net Regression model.  However, elastic net performed better with an RMSE of 0.0228 without showing signs of overfitting.
Cost-effective Digital Prescription using Pharmaceutical Knowledge Graph
Authors: Rathore Aryan , Bharara Reva , Tiwari Krishna Kumar
Published: December 2023

In the current era of the advancing medical domain and the ever-evolving use of technology in fields of pharmaceutical research, remote monitoring, and decision support systems in healthcare, prescription management has transformed from handwritten prescriptions to digital ones. This transition however does not imply that these prescriptions are comprehensive and provide optimized treatment outcomes. These digital prescriptions still reflect the formerly used handwritten prescriptions. Thus, recipients face the daunting challenge of making cost-effective, holistic, informed, and personalized decisions without compromising the legitimacy and authenticity of the original prescription, all due to a lack of readily available alternative medicine options. This problem can be addressed by utilizing the knowledge graph that we built, which contains carefully curated medical information collected from reliable and diverse sources, ensuring the authenticity and relevance of the information. Delving into the intricate interconnections among diverse medical entities and their properties, the medical knowledge graph presents an invaluable solution, empowering the generation of smart digital prescriptions in a fast and precise manner. Specifically, this study focuses on the transformative potential of digital prescriptions, elucidating their role in streamlining healthcare processes and enhancing communication between healthcare providers and patients. By leveraging the insights derived from our medical knowledge graph, we aim to contribute to the advancement of digital prescription systems, fostering more effective, personalized, and technology-driven healthcare solutions.

Authors: Valadez Luis Roberto Garcia , Santoyo Jorge Aram Copca , Lopez Erick E.
Published: December 2023

Background: Low back pain is currently an important health problem that represents a significant socioeconomic cost in Western societies and is associated with higher rates of disability than any other disorder. Although most cases are treated successfully at the first level of care, it is estimated that around 15% become chronic, resisting conservative treatment.

Aims: to know the analgesic effects by means of the "visual analog scale" and functional effects (oswestry) in patients submitted to radiofrequency, the aim is to know the incidence of low back pain secondary to facet syndrome in the traumatology service, as well as the effectiveness rate of the procedure as a therapeutic method for chronic low back pain.

Study Design:  retrospective cohort analytical observational study design.

Place and Duration of Study: Sample: 48 patients with a diagnosis of lumbar facet syndrome treated by lumbar facet denervation (rhizolysis) by multimodal and multilevel radiofrequency between July 2021 and July 2022 at the Regional Military Hospital of specialties in Guadalajara, Jalisco were included.

Methodology: Sample: We included data from the 48 patients who underwent radiofrequency facet denervation of the lumbar spine from L1 to L5, and their functional evolution was evaluated using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and their analgesic evolution using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS).

Results: Sample: Out of 48 patients, finding an average improvement of 5.6 ± 3.28 points in the visual analog pain scale and an improvement of 83.3% was obtained in patients with severe disability according to the Oswestry scale at 6 months of follow-up. There is a reduction of at least 3 points in VAS with a 50% reduction in pain and improvement in functional status. Effectiveness of 91.6% in the reduction of at least 16 points in ODI which represents the minimum score necessary to reduce 1 level of disability in the worst case scenario.

Conclusion: The incidence of patients presenting to the orthopedic office with facet syndrome is 32.87%. Radiofrequency rhizolysis is an effective and safe treatment for the management of chronic low back pain in patients with facet syndrome, with a high rate of effectiveness and low rate of complications. The effectiveness of the treatment lies in the correct selection of the patient including clinical and imaging criteria and positive diagnostic block.
A Multi-stage Optimization Strategy Based on Fuzzy QFD and Fuzzy Swara to Adopt Blockchain Technology in the Drug Supply Chain
Authors: Yazdi Naghmeh Talebi
Published: December 2023

Introduction: Utilizing blockchain technology helps to address issues that the supply chain faces, including the intricate connections between chain network members, regulation of the distribution network, and inventory management.

Objective: To adopt blockchain technology in the drug supply chain, this study aims to offer a multi-stage optimization strategy based on Swara and QFD approaches and a zero-one nonlinear optimization problem employing a fuzzy approach.

Methods: First, field and library research was conducted to identify the barriers to the adoption of blockchain technology in the drug supply chain and the ways to overcome these barriers. The relevance of the barriers is ascertained using the fuzzy Swara approach following their refinement employing the Friedman test. The output is entered as an input in the house of quality (HOQ) rows, while the barrier-reducing techniques are presented in the columns. These approaches to reducing barriers are arranged in rows in the second phase of the house of quality.

Results: Among the criteria of the barrier-reduction approach, the Performance Expectancy criterion with a score of 0.0521 has the greatest score, and the criterion of Focusing on the Major Points has the minimum score, as determined by the findings of the fuzzy Swara model. The criterion of Enhancing Transparency with a score of 0.5374 and Reducing Risk with a score of 0.4045 have the maximum, and Sustainability Performance with a score of 0.07 has the minimum score, according to the findings concerning the objectives of blockchain technology adoption in the drug supply chain. The criterion of lack of customers' awareness and attitude about sustainability and blockchain technology has the greatest score among the barriers to adoption, scoring 0.521, and the criterion of difficulty in altering organizational culture, scoring 0.033, has the minimum value.

Conclusion: Based on the results of the fuzzy house of quality, we concluded that, for the adoption of blockchain technology in the drug supply chain, the eighth (long-term perspective), first (performance expectation), and tenth (focused on the primary strengths) strategies are more beneficial. In addition, it was demonstrated that the second (Effort Expectation), ninth (information sharing), and sixth (Trust) strategies have poor rankings.

Importance

Preterm newborns at risk of respiratory distress syndrome are supported with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Many newborns worsen despite CPAP and are intubated for surfactant administration, an effective therapy for treatment of respiratory distress syndrome. Endotracheal intubation is associated with adverse effects. Pharyngeal administration of surfactant to preterm animals and humans has been reported as an alternative.

Objective

To assess whether giving prophylactic oropharyngeal surfactant to preterm newborns at birth would reduce the rate of intubation for respiratory failure.

Design, Setting, and Participants

This unblinded, parallel-group randomized clinical trial (Prophylactic Oropharyngeal Surfactant for Preterm Infants [POPART]) was conducted from December 17, 2017, to September 11, 2020, at 9 tertiary neonatal intensive care units in 6 European countries. Newborns born before 29 weeks of gestation without severe congenital anomalies, for whom intensive care was planned, were eligible for inclusion. The data were analyzed from July 27, 2022, to June 20, 2023.

Intervention

Newborns were randomly assigned to receive oropharyngeal surfactant at birth in addition to CPAP or CPAP alone. Randomization was stratified by center and gestational age (GA).

Main Outcomes and Measures

The primary outcome was intubation in the delivery room for bradycardia and/or apnea or in the neonatal intensive care unit for prespecified respiratory failure criteria within 120 hours of birth. Caregivers were not masked to group assignment.

Results

Among 251 participants (mean [SD] GA, 26 [1.5] weeks) who were well matched at study entry, 126 (69 [54.8%] male) with a mean (SD) birth weight of 858 (261) grams were assigned to the oropharyngeal surfactant group, and 125 (63 [50.4%] male) with a mean (SD) birth weight of 829 (253) grams were assigned to the control group. The proportion of newborns intubated within 120 hours was not different between the groups (80 [63.5%) in the oropharyngeal surfactant group and 81 [64.8%] in the control group; relative risk, 0.98 [95% CI, 0.81-1.18]). More newborns assigned to the oropharyngeal surfactant group were diagnosed with and treated for pneumothorax (21 [16.6%] vs 8 [6.4%]; P = .04).

Conclusions and Relevance

This randomized clinical trial found that administration of prophylactic oropharyngeal surfactant to newborns born before 29 weeks’ GA did not reduce the rate of intubation in the first 120 hours of life. These findings suggest that administration of surfactant into the oropharynx immediately after birth in addition to CPAP should not be routinely used.

Decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) retains the bioactive components to mimic tissue‐specific microenvironment. Designing dECM‐based inks for 3D printing to prepare scaffolds can enhance the regeneration of corresponding tissues. However, due to the strict requirements for inks, how to efficiently prepare dECM‐based inks is a challenge. Inspired by granular lubrication, the present study proposes an effective and general method for preparing granular ink from dECM microparticles (MP) with high content. Through dopamine polymerization, dECM‐MPs are coated with polydopamine (PDA). Meanwhile, gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA)‐based microspheres (GelMA‐MSs) are prepared with available double bonds. dECM‐MPs (30–40 wt%) and GelMA‐MSs assemble to form a granular ink, exhibiting well‐performed extrudability, plasticity, and fidelity. Further inspired by joint lubrication, hyaluronic acid (HA) is introduced into PDA coating and GelMA‐MSs to reduce the micro‐interface friction, further promoting the printability and broadening the printable window of dECM‐MPs content to 30–60 wt%. Osteochondral scaffold and skin wound dressing are fabricated through 3D printing from the corresponding dECM‐MPs, enhancing the regeneration of the corresponding tissues in vivo. Especially, the realization of printability of highly rigid dECM‐MPs confirms the universality, reliability and efficiency of the present strategy.

2D magnets have recently drawn enormous interest. As an air‐stable A‐type van der Waals antiferromagnet (AFM), CrSBr has attracted great attention but has also led to controversies about its large‐span ordering temperatures. Herein, a systematic study of the magnetic phase transition in single‐crystalline CrSBr with ultrahigh‐quality through surface‐sensitive X‐ray magnetic linear dichroism and X‐ray magnetic circular dichroism measurements combined with vibrating sample magnetometry for characterization of bulk magnetization is reported. The interlayer AFM order of both surface and bulk CrSBr is revealed to maintain a similar Néel temperature within the range of 132–142 K. However, the intralayer ferromagnetic (FM) order of surface CrSBr is found to sustain up to ≈238 K, 70 K higher than the value obtained from the bulk CrSBr, demonstrating a dramatically different surface and bulk Curie temperature in CrSBr. Moreover, a half‐filled t2g electronic state for Cr3+ ions with magnetic moment of ≈3 µB/Cr in CrSBr is clearly identified. These results enrich the understanding of the electronic structure and magnetism in CrSBr, providing this material as a promising building block for future spintronic devices.

Phase matching is indispensable for high efficiency of second‐order nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals. Thousands of these crystals rely on birefringence phase matching, whereas only a few of them are quasi‐phase matching without the restriction of birefringence. Herein, using oriented seeds inch‐sized LiNH4SO4 (LAS) single crystals are successfully grown. LAS is NLO‐active with a very short deep‐UV absorption edge of 171 nm and high laser damage threshold up to 1.47 GW cm−2 at 1064 nm, 10 ns, but its birefringence is merely 0.0078@532 nm, which is too small to realize birefringence phase matching in deep‐UV region. Fortunately, P−E hysteresis loop, variable‐temperature NLO tests, and ferroelectric domain observations confirm that LAS is ferroelectric. Furthermore, LAS exhibits small refractive index dispersion resulting in a relatively long periodic length of 1.4 µm and its single domain structure can be easily obtained by electrical poling. These attributes make LAS a scarce NLO candidate for deep‐UV quasi‐phase matching. This work highlights the longly overlooked potential of sulfates and provides new opportunities for deep‐UV NLO materials.

Two‐terminal, mechanically‐stacked perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells offer a feasible way to achieve power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of over 35%, provided that the state‐of‐the‐art industrial silicon solar cells and perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are fully compatible with one another. Herein, two‐terminal, mechanically‐stacked perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells are developed by mechanically interconnecting semitransparent PSCs and TOPCon solar cells with a MXene interlayer. The semitransparent PSCs are made from wide‐bandgap perovskite Cs0.15FA0.65MA0.20Pb(I0.80Br0.20)3 films. Furthermore, the co‐additives KPF6 and CH3NH3Cl(MACl) are employed to reduce grain boundaries and intragranular defects in the perovskite, boosting the PCE of the semitransparent PSCs to a record‐high value of 20.96% under reverse scan (RS) through a reduction in non‐radiative recombination probability. These optimized semitransparent PSCs are then employed in MXene‐interconnected two‐terminal, mechanically‐stacked tandem solar cells. The enhanced interfacial carrier transportation, with minimal influence on light transmission, imparted by the MXene flakes allows the tandem solar cells to achieve a stabilized PCE of 29.65%. The tandem cells also exhibit acceptable operational stability and are able to retain ≈93% and 92% of their initial PCEs after 120 min of continuous illumination or storage in ambient air for 1000 h, respectively.

Terahertz (THz) technologies hold great promise for nondestructive precision imaging and wireless communication. Active tailoring of the THz field is highly desired for enhancing the resolution of imaging and increasing communication capacity. However, most THz field manipulation devices are limited by passive modulation and single‐dimensional external triggers. In this study, an innovative spatiotemporally tunable metasurface is proposed for the multidimensional dynamic manipulation of the THz field. The device combines a metasurface and two‐dimensional perovskite materials: the metasurface is responsible for modulation of the THz field in the spatial dimension, while the perovskite is responsible for modulation of the THz field in the temporal dimension. The pumping wavelength is an extra dimension for selectively switching the transmission of the THz field owing to the bandgap tunability of the perovskite. Accordingly, the functions of the metadevice can be multistage‐switched utilizing the pump‐wavelength sensitive control scheme. Based on this platform, dynamic switching of a THz multifocal lens and a dynamic display of holographic characters are experimentally demonstrated. The proposed metasurface provides a new pathway for multiple orders to manipulate the THz field dynamically, which can be used to realize more multifunctional dynamic meta‐devices.
