Published: December 2021

Political discourse is inarguably deemed an essential tool, influencing people’s perception within a socio-political zone in an imperceptible manner. The present research titled “Inter-textual Analysis of Political Discourse in Party Manifestos” revolved around a critical discourse analysis of manifestos, as presented by five most popular Pakistani political parties, pertaining to the general election, held during the year 2013. With regard to the present context, the mentioned pursuit primarily aimed at linguistically analyzing the political discourse of the aforementioned manifestos at inter-textual level. The theoretical framework used to substantiate the overall analysis centered on Fairclough’s theory of intertextuality (1995) and van Dijk Ideological Square(2004). The findings of the research revealed that all the political parties under study, brought into use the discursive strategy of intertextuality in their party manifestos in order to enhance the positive self image of party to in-group people, by hunting the negative aspects of the out-group, thereby (re)constructing people’s political identities and ideologies and achieving the desired hegemony in a way peculiar to itself. Research of the kind can be conducted further by analyzing the other dimensions of political discourse and the resultant ideologies, influencing the current state of affairs as prevalent around the globe with special focus on the linguistic aspects of the political discourse.

Published: December 2021

There have been effects of Persian language on Brahui language and literature like the other languages of subcontinent. Due to being state language, all kinds of orders, religious decisions and documents were written in Persian. In orders to explain these things to Brahuis, there has been need of translation from the very first day. The thoughts of a language can be transferred into the other language through translation which causes the language develop. Therefore, we can find that the old and available books of Brahui to have been translated from Persian like Tofat-ul-ajaib etc. This series continued till establishment of Pakistan, later it grew quiet lesser. However, scholars, now-a-days, are also translating curriculum books of madressas into Brahui, one of these translators is also Maulvi Abdul Khalique Ababaki who has done poetic and prosed / versified Brahui translation of about a dozens of Persian books, out of which Bagh-e-Brahui, Panth Nama, Ramuzath-e-Ishq, Manajath-e-Allama Roomi and Aadenk are very famous. The above mentioned scholar had thorough mastery over all the rules and regulations of translating. Moreover, he himself was an experienced teacher, poet and translator of Brahui and Persian language. That's why his translation, among Persian translation, in Brahui literature, holds immense importance. Some of his translation is still unprinted which includes Waslet Nama, Wahdat Nama and Phul-e-Brahui.

Strategy to respond gratification by identifying gift-giving to government employee
Authors: Nazifah Lisa 
Published: December 2021

Gratification often called as the root of corruption. Gift-giving is usually considered a common tradition that has been entrenched in community life in Indonesia. However, it should be confirmed that even the slightest gift to civil servants or state administrators can be considered as an act of bribery if the gift is related to their position and contrary to their obligations or duties. Numerous gratification practices that lead to bribery have still been found indicating the lack of understanding and intention of civil servants in addressing gratification based on the regulation applied. The study is performed using qualitative descriptive methods with a description of the topic related. Data collected by observing study group discussion at Diklat Prajabatan for a non-permanent teacher in DKI Jakarta year 2018. The identification of gratification can be self-performed by recognizing the motive of the gift-giving act using PROVE IT (Purposes, Rule, Openness, Value, Ethics, Identity, and Timing). Besides, the improved understanding of the rights and obligations as a public servant as well as the change of mindset would initially provide the capability for every civil servant and state administrators in addressing gratification wisely and applicably. The integrity of civil servants is an indicator of a clean and corruption-free government that leads to good and accountable governance.

Published: December 2021

AbstractBleeding control is critical for improving survival rates in clinical and military environments. Despite considerable efforts to develop hemostatic agents useful in open surgery, there has been little focus on effective topical hemostatic formulations capable of clearly identifying internal hemostasis and/or rehemorrhage processes without any optical labeling, particularly in minimally invasive endoscopic interventions. Herein, an optically anisotropic topical hemostatic agent for naked‐eye clarification of bleeding is reported. Hemostatic agents are formed via nonionic self‐coacervation between tannic acid, which is an adhesive polyphenol widely found in plants, and cholesteryl liquid crystals. Applying the hemostatic coacervates onto the injury site enables the visualization of the hemostasis process through immediate formation of a “polyphenol‐blood barrier,” followed by green‐colored light emission of the liquid crystal delaminated from the coacervates. Thus, such optically active hemostatic materials may help manage and prevent complications associated with internal hemorrhage in limited clinical settings.

Published: December 2021

AbstractMetallic zinc (Zn) for next‐generation aqueous batteries often suffers from severe dendrite growth, unfavorable hydrogen evolution, and self‐corrosion, especially in alkaline electrolyte. Herein, the authors demonstrate a facile and efficient strategy to tackle above issues by electrochemically depositing Zn onto the Cu–Zn alloy surface (CZ‐Zn). The zincophilic Cu sites throughout the Cu–Zn alloy can remarkably enhance the Zn2+ adsorption and promote homogeneous Zn nucleation on its surface, endowing it with highly reversible Zn plating/stripping chemistry. Furthermore, the intrinsically inert nature of Cu toward hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and high dezincification potential of the Cu‐Zn alloy can effectively alleviate the hydrogen evolution and Zn corrosion in aqueous electrolyte. Consequently, the symmetric cells with the CZ‐Zn electrodes exhibit outstanding cycling life in both alkaline and neutral electrolytes, which can operate steadily over 800 h and 1600 h at 2.5 mAh cm–2, respectively, far surpassing the pristine Zn electrodes. In addition, a high‐performance alkaline full battery with ultra‐long cyclic stability (no capacity degradation after 5000 cycles) and excellent Coulombic efficiency (CE) (100%) is achieved by pairing this CZ‐Zn anode with a Ni3S2@polyaniline cathode. This study sheds light on the design of robust and ultra‐stable Zn anodes for the state‐of‐art aqueous energy storage devices.

Published: December 2021

AbstractWith the continuous research and development of amidoxime (AO)‐based adsorbents, industrialization production of uranium from seawater gradually becomes a reality. However, the currently available AO‐based adsorbents still suffer from low adsorption rate and poor selectivity. Herein, vertically aligned polyamioxime–graphene oxide (VA‐PG) sheet membrane is fabricated by directional freeze casting. The run‐through microchannels contribute to the free diffusion of uranyl ions (UO22+), leading to the fast adsorption kinetics. Furthermore, partially reduced graphene oxide allows high photothermal conversion efficiency and rapid in‐plane heat transfer, resulting in the fast temperature rise under simulated sunlight irradiation. Because of the endothermic behavior of UO22+, light‐irradiated VA‐PG can simultaneously satisfy the requirements of high adsorption capacity (13.63 mg‐U g‐Ads−1), high adsorption rate (0.43 mg g−1 day−1), and excellent selectivity toward U(VI) over V(V) (U/V = 1.24) in natural seawater, indicating the right direction for a breakthrough in the field of uranium extraction from seawater.

Published: December 2021

AbstractSelf‐assembly of colloidal nanocrystals into ordered superlattices is a powerful approach to enable novel collective properties which are not available in individual colloids. However, to date, it remains a major challenge to develop a practical route to modulate such collective properties for potential photonic applications. Herein, it is shown that the collective emission properties in colloidal quantum well (CQW) superlattices, including emission color and anisotropy, can be effectively modulated in a binary host–guest architecture. The experimental and theoretical results reveal that excitons of the host (i.e., the undoped CQWs) generated by photoexcitation can be controllably harvested by the guest (i.e., the Cu‐doped CQWs) for light emission, owing to an exciton hopping assisted exciton trapping process. Such a nano‐building block with tunable collective optical properties may enlighten novel colloidal material‐based photonic applications, including optical anti‐counterfeiting, next‐generation liquid crystal displays, and multifunctional biological markers.

AbstractReducing energy consumption is one of the major concerns in modern building design and construction because buildings account for ≈40% of the total energy consumption in modern society. Among various technologies for saving energy, electrochromic smart windows are considered as a highly promising one. Except for the application in saving energy, electrochromism has also attracted extensive attention in many other fields, such as, anti‐glare rearview mirrors, displays, military camouflage, flexible wearable fabric, etc. However, there are still many challenges needed to be solved, such as, the response rate and durability of electrochromic materials (ECMs). The transmission rate of ions in ECMs determines the response rate of the whole electrochromic device. Besides, the embedding depth and total amount of ions directly affect the contrast, durability, and coloration efficiency of ECMs. It is crucial to select suitable electrolyte ions to obtain high‐efficiency ECMs. Here, the challenges in ECMs based on ions insertion/extraction are presented, which are focused on advanced nanostructured ECMs’ design and electrochromic devices’ practical application. Recent advances in ECMs are presented to discuss the important questions, which are especially focused on the connection between suitable ions and advanced nanostructural ECMs. Finally, a perspective for next‐generation electrochromic devices is presented.

AbstractHematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) possess the remarkable ability to regenerate the whole blood system in response to ablated stress demands. Delineating the mechanisms that maintain HSPCs during regenerative stresses is increasingly important. Here, it is shown that Hemgn is significantly induced by hematopoietic stresses including irradiation and bone marrow transplantation (BMT). Hemgn deficiency does not disturb steady‐state hematopoiesis in young mice. Hemgn−/‐ HSPCs display defective engraftment activity during BMT with reduced homing and survival and increased apoptosis. Transcriptome profiling analysis reveals that upregulated genes in transplanted Hemgn−/− HSPCs are enriched for gene sets related to interferon gamma (IFN‐γ) signaling. Hemgn−/− HSPCs show enhanced responses to IFN‐γ treatment and increased aging over time. Blocking IFN‐γ signaling in irradiated recipients either pharmacologically or genetically rescues Hemgn−/‐ HSPCs engraftment defect. Mechanistical studies reveal that Hemgn deficiency sustain nuclear Stat1 tyrosine phosphorylation via suppressing T‐cell protein tyrosine phosphatase TC45 activity. Spermidine, a selective activator of TC45, rescues exacerbated phenotype of HSPCs in IFN‐γ‐treated Hemgn−/− mice. Collectively, these results identify that Hemgn is a critical regulator for successful engraftment and reconstitution of HSPCs in mice through negatively regulating IFN‐γ signaling. Targeted Hemgn may be used to improve conditioning regimens and engraftment during HSPCs transplantation.

AbstractUltrabroadband photodetection is of great significance in numerous cutting‐edge technologies including imaging, communications, and medicine. However, since photon detectors are selective in wavelength and thermal detectors are slow in response, developing high performance and ultrabroadband photodetectors is extremely difficult. Herein, one demonstrates an ultrabroadband photoelectric detector covering visible, infrared, terahertz, and millimeter wave simultaneously based on single metal–Te–metal structure. Through the two kinds of photoelectric effect synergy of photoexcited electron–hole pairs and electromagnetic induced well effect, the detector achieves the responsivities of 0.793 A W−1 at 635 nm, 9.38 A W−1 at 1550 nm, 9.83 A W−1 at 0.305 THz, 24.8 A W−1 at 0.250 THz, 87.8 A W−1 at 0.172 THz, and 986 A W−1 at 0.022 THz, respectively. It also exhibits excellent polarization detection with a dichroic ratio of 468. The excellent performance of the detector is further verified by high‐resolution imaging experiments. Finally, the high stability of the detector is tested by long‐term deposition in air and high‐temperature aging. The strategy provides a recipe to achieve ultrabroadband photodetection with high sensitivity and fast response utilizing full photoelectric effect.
