Published: February 2025

AbstractThis research include an industrial step, which is the synthesis of the inorganic–organic nanocomposite using ultrasound as a rapid and one‐step method, which is done by mixing boehmite with graphene oxide and then reacting them with the help of ultrasound with a capacity of 750 watts and a time not exceeding 10 min. The resulted product are then reacted with hydrazine hydrate to give boehmite–graphene nanocomposite. The materials are characterized using XRD, which prove the presence of boehmite and graphene without any structural change, indicating the physical decoration between them. Furthermore, the TEM measurement proves the presence of a graphene sheet with a thickness of one sheet carrying on its surface nanoboehmite particles that are no larger than 30 nm. Moreover, the composite is used to store hydrogen at four different temperatures (77–273 K). It is observed that the composite has the ability to store approximately 5.9 wt% at 77 K, which deceases with the increase in temperature until it reaches its lowest levels at 273 K with a storage value of 0.6 wt%, noting that the study is done at a pressure of 90 bar. Moreover, the thermodynamic properties of the storage process are studied, which prove that the enthalpy value is equal to 0.101788 (KJ/mol H2), and the entropy value is 5.96878 (J/mol H2. K), indicating the physical bonding of hydrogen.

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTAmid global environmental challenges, understanding how digital economies drive green innovation is critical, especially within China's market‐based socialist framework. This study investigates how the digital economy and marketization jointly influence ecological innovation across 31 provinces in mainland China from 2011 to 2023. By integrating panel data analysis with a theoretical framework linking digital economic growth, marketization, and green innovation, this research uncovers key dynamics shaping sustainable development. Findings reveal that advancements in the digital economy significantly promote regional green innovations, with marketization serving as a vital conduit that amplifies this effect. Moreover, marketization exhibits dual impacts, both enhancing and moderating the sustainability outcomes driven by digital growth. These insights offer theoretical contributions by clarifying the causal mechanisms among digital economies, market forces, and innovation, while practically suggesting the need for a collaborative “enterprise‐public‐government” framework and robust market‐driven innovation systems to foster green development.

Rescuing state capacity: Proceduralism, the new politicization, and public policy
Authors: Moynihan Donald P. 
Published: February 2025

AbstractThe administrative capacity of a government matters enormously to public policy design and implementation. But it is usually taken for granted in public policy settings, a background variable left largely unconsidered. This essay argues that the fields of public policy and public management need to more directly consider threats to state capacity. A creeping threat is a tendency towards proceduralism that layers in rules, veto points, and delay that constrains state actors from achieving critical goals. A more immediate threat for the American administrative state is a dramatic increase in the politicization of public service delivery. This new model of politicization pursued by President Trump features three key attributes: 1) a personalist infrastructure of presidential power that centers on loyalty above all other values; 2) governing by fear via conspiratorial messaging towards the public sector and threatening individual public servants; and 3) a weakening of civil service protections that blurs the traditional distinction between political appointees and civil servants and enables purges of those deemed to be disloyal.

ABSTRACTObjectiveTo correlate ultrasound findings with fetoscopy and pathology data in patients with suspected congenital high airway obstruction syndrome (CHAOS) to improve prenatal diagnosis and management.MethodThis study included five consecutive patients suspected of having CHAOS. Prenatal ultrasound was performed to identify key features such as bilateral hyperechoic lungs, eversion of the diaphragm, and visible airways. Fetoscopy was conducted in three patients to assess the vocal cords and upper airways. Pathological analysis was also used to confirm the diagnosis.ResultsAll five patients showed bilateral hyperechoic lungs, eversion of the diaphragm, and visible airways on ultrasound. An obstructive block was seen in all cases and the vocal cords were not visualized in three cases, abnormal in one case and not mentioned in one case. Fetoscopy confirmed vocal cord fusion or absence and complete laryngeal atresia in three patients. All pregnancies were terminated; therefore, medium‐term complications of fetoscopy could not be assessed.ConclusionAccurate prenatal ultrasound imaging is essential for diagnosing CHAOS and determining prognosis. While ultrasound is the first‐line test to assess the condition and guide management, fetoscopy should only be proposed when ultrasound findings are inconclusive. The diagnostic and therapeutic value of fetoscopy is limited to cases with nonvisible vocal cords and obstructive laryngeal block.
“My School Could Have Done More”: Black Students' Reflections of Educators' Interventions on Peer Discrimination
Authors: Baker Blair A. , Lawson Tamara K. , Hill Heather 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTBlack students in K‐12 settings are facing heightened rates of discrimination from their peers. Although discrimination may primarily be racial in nature, other aspects of students' racialized experience (e.g., wealth status, gender, nationality, etc.) are often targeted as well. Despite rising issues of peer discrimination toward Black students and their intersecting identities, few works have investigated how school personnel distinguish such discrimination and/or deploy intervention practices as a response. This study interviewed Black (n = 15) and Biracial/ethnic (n = 2) high school graduates (ages 18–21) about their experiences with peer discrimination, educators' approaches to such discrimination, and participants' insight on preferred intervention approaches. An intersectional framework and the Transformative Social Emotional Learning framework were used to phenomenologically analyze the data. Results indicate that participants experienced intersectional discrimination from high‐school peers, and school personnel rarely intervened on peer discrimination in a culturally responsive manner. However, participants' preferred intervention responses mirrored more actionable, culturally responsive intervention approaches to peer discrimination.

ABSTRACTBackground and ObjectiveIndividuals from historically marginalized populations face structural and social determinants of health that create barriers to receiving specialty asthma care. School‐based specialist care delivered via telehealth offers a potential solution for children with uncontrolled asthma. This study evaluated the reach, implementation, and effectiveness of school‐based telehealth asthma clinics led by pediatric pulmonologists in historically marginalized neighborhoods.MethodsPatients completed at least one visit with an asthma specialist via telehealth, including assessments of asthma control, lung function, exacerbations, and healthcare utilization. Descriptive analyses and means comparison tests of electronic health record data were conducted to examine outcomes.ResultsAsthma specialists provided telehealth care for 54 patients (Mage = 12.23, SD = 3.71) between May 2019 and May 2023. The clinics reached a high percentage of individuals from historically marginalized populations (90.7% Black or African American, 92.6% public insurance) who had not previously received specialty asthma care (51.9%). Twenty‐three patients (42.6%) were seen more than once in the school‐based telehealth asthma clinics (M = 3.43 visits, SD = 1.53). Asthma control significantly improved for those patients, t(19) = 2.61, p = 0.017, Cohen's d = 0.58, with 30% improving from poorly controlled to well‐controlled. Exacerbations and healthcare utilization decreased.ConclusionsSpecialist‐delivered, school‐based telehealth asthma clinics effectively reached patients from historically marginalized backgrounds and improved clinical outcomes. This school‐based telehealth model can be applied across settings to reach patients who might not otherwise have access to specialty care.

Published: February 2025

AbstractThe global primary health concern of skin cancer emphasizes the need for quick and accurate diagnosis to improve patient outcomes. Although, it might be challenging to evaluate the possible risk of a skin spot merely by looking at it and feeling it. This review article offers a thorough overview of current breakthroughs in machine learning (ML) and computer‐aided diagnostics (CAD) for the aim of analysis and classification of skin cancer lesions over the past 6 years. This paper carefully reviews the whole diagnostic process: data preparation, lesion segmentation, feature extraction, feature selection, and final classification. Analyzed are many publicly accessible datasets and creative ideas including deep learning (DL) and ML integrated with computer vision, together with their impact on increasing diagnosis accuracy. Given the variety and complexity of skin lesions, even with enormous progress, there are still major obstacles. This review rigorously assesses current methods, notes areas of great challenge, and provides recommendations to direct the next research targeted at improving early detection strategies and CAD systems.

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTThis study aimed to evaluate the suitability of paperboard with biodegradable and nonbiodegradable coatings as alternatives to conventional plastics under realistic storage conditions and in contact with moist and fatty foods. Paperboard with biodegradable (PLA/PBAT) and nonbiodegradable (PET and PE) coatings in contact with mayonnaise, cream cheese and butter were stored under refrigerated conditions (4°C/85%RH) for 1, 3, 6 and 9 weeks. To evaluate the impact on functional properties, tensile strength, puncture resistance, water vapour transmission rate (WVTR) and thickness were measured before and after storage. The mechanical properties of coated paperboards were significantly affected by storage conditions and food contact. Moisture from humid air led to swelling of the cellulose fibres that caused structural changes and weakening. Paperboard with the biodegradable coating was more prone to weakening by food contact than by refrigerated storage alone, with mayonnaise having the greatest effect. For paperboard with the nonbiodegradable coatings, the impact of different foods was less pronounced. These materials generally experienced similar or less weakening from food contact than refrigerated storage alone, highlighting the effectiveness of the coating layers as barrier between moist and fatty foods and the cellulose fibres. These findings emphasise the need to test functional properties after storage under realistic conditions in contact with relevant food products for extended periods, when considering the feasibility of replacing plastic packaging with fibre‐based alternatives.

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTThe quadruped mobile manipulator (QMM) combines the environmental adaptability of a quadruped robot and the operation capabilities of a robotic arm. The design of the hydraulic QMM with an emphasis on large operational workspace considerations is reported, covering both mechanical design and motion planning aspects. A joint optimization method for determining the structural parameters under two operating conditions is introduced to balance the motion range and force output efficiency, reducing the cylinder drive force by compared with before optimization. Furthermore, this paper proposes a redundant motion planning method for the QMM, based on null‐space projection and task feasibility assessment to expand the operational workspace. Through coordinated leg–arm motion, the robot's reachable workspace increases by . Physical experiments are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method and the field capabilities of the QMM.

AbstractThe roughly 500 species of cheilanthoid ferns exhibit a diversity of morphological adaptations to xeric environments. However, most of these traits have evolved independently multiple times, impeding past efforts to establish a natural classification for the group. Considerable progress has been made over the past three decades resolving most of the major lineages, with the notable exception of the hemionitids, the largest and most widely distributed clade. The nearly 350 hemionitid species can be found in dry regions across the globe and account for two‐thirds of cheilanthoid diversity. While some of the 17 genera commonly attributed to this group are easily recognized and demonstrably monophyletic, others have been shown to be clearly non‐monophyletic. Here, we explore phylogenetic relationships among hemionitid species using a dataset that greatly expands on earlier studies. We carefully consider generic lines and propose a phylogenetically informed classification that better aligns with morphology, geography, and evolutionary history. Based on our analyses and morphological investigations, we propose the recognition of 22 monophyletic hemionitid genera. Nine of our generic circumscriptions are consistent with those of most other recent studies. Two other genera are expanded relative to these studies, while two are more narrowly defined. Two generic names are resurrected herein and seven genera are newly described to accommodate divergent clades. In all, 106 new species‐level (plus 9 subspecific) combinations are made.

ABSTRACTHybrid power plants (HPPs) combining multiple generation and/or storage sources behind a single connection point are becoming popular due to their capability to provide additional value for both plant owners and power systems compared to individual technology renewable power plants. However, the research on HPPs is still in nascent stage. This article comprehensively overviews utility‐scale HPPs (power plants ranging from hundreds of MW to GW scale). It primarily addresses HPPs that combine renewable sources such as wind and solar (PV technology) with electrical energy storage (ESS), all connected behind a single grid connection and operated as a unified power plant by a single operator. This article covers various aspects such as HPPs' potential benefits, research challenges, and opportunities related to their design, operation, and development, from both societal and HPP owners' perspectives. It briefly discusses the advantages of HPPs compared to individual renewable technology‐based power plants highlighting the potential added values of HPPs for owners, system operators, and society, while ensuring compliance with grid code requirements at the point of common coupling. The main focus is on identifying and clustering the research challenges associated with design and operation of HPPs. Topics such as energy management systems, sizing and siting, electrical design and control, uncertainties and forecasting, grid emulation and advanced testing, and multi‐energy system integration are elaborated and reviewed. This article demonstrates that significant research is urgently needed to enhance renewable generation flexibility and improve grid services. Addressing these challenges will accelerate the development and deployment of HPPs.
For Life: Differences in Perinatal Health Between the Offspring of Immigrant and Spanish-Born Mothers

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Birthweight has been extensively used to construct perinatal indicators for identifying and monitoring newborns at risk. These indicators include measures such as low birthweight (<2500 grams irrespective of gestational age) and being small for gestational age (e.g., birthweight below the tenth percentile for a given gestational age). Determinants of adverse health at birth encompass biological and behavioral factors, often exhibiting a social pattern, with the highest prevalence observed in families of low socioeconomic status. Given the strong link between health and social outcomes throughout the life course, perinatal health is considered a vital dimension for examining how inequalities are (re)produced in society. Although immigrants are categorized as a socially vulnerable group experiencing multiple disadvantages, such as racism and discrimination, international evidence indicates that the offspring of foreign-born (immigrant) mothers often experience similar or even better perinatal health outcomes than their counterparts in the receiving country, which supports the healthy immigrant paradox. In this chapter, we conduct a narrative synthesis of the literature based on a systematic search using two electronic databases (PubMed and Web of Sciences) to identify quantitative studies published in peer-reviewed journals before March 2023. These studies were written in English or Spanish and include the birthweight outcomes of the offspring of immigrant women residing in Spain, with comparison groups consisting of the offspring of Spanish-born women. Using the vote-counting method, we assessed 28 studies that met our inclusion criteria. The findings of our review generally confirm the perinatal health advantage of small children among the offspring of most immigrant-origin mothers in Spain, except for those of African and Asian descent, compared with children of Spanish-born women. However, mothers from most immigrant origins exhibited higher risks than Spanish-born ones of delivering children with macrosomia (high birthweight), which challenges the interpretation of immigrants’ health advantage.
