Writing in Coffee Shops
Authors: Craig Ryan 
Published: January 2021

What makes someone a playwright?
How do their identities and ideas interweave and co-exist?
What permanent truths can we discern from examining existing texts?
How can we write theatre that encapsulates the contemporary moment?
How do we develop an idea from the embryonic impulse to a full and robust piece of theatre?
In this fresh, lively and often very funny book, playwright Ryan Craig makes a case for the vitality of playwriting in our contemporary world and offers a way into writing those plays.
From the very first moment of the process, as you sit in a coffee shop, staring at your ‘laptop yawning open like some big, gormless mouth, the screen a flickering blank’, to seeing your play staged and reviewed, the author takes you through the complete journey.
Drawing on his own experience of writing for theatres such as the National, Hampstead and Tricycle and Menier Chocolate Factory, TV drama scripts for BBC, ITV and Channel Four, radio plays and adaptation, as well as commercial theatre, the author explores what practical tools the dramatist can use to write plays that build bridges between us.
Full of practical advice for the aspiring – and practising – playwright, this book is also an important call-to-arms for playwrights everywhere, arguing for its necessity in the context of an increasingly fractured, distracted, disconnected world.
Experiencing Cinema
Authors: Pett Emma 
Published: January 2021

Film is often conceived as a medium that is watched rather than experienced. Existing studies of film audiences, and of media reception more broadly, have revealed the complexity of viewing practices and cultures surrounding cinema-going and its exhibition spaces. Experiencing Cinema offers the first in-depth study of participant engagement with a range of experiential media forms derived from cinema culture. From sing-a-long screenings to theatrical extravaganzas, a broad spectrum of alternative film-going practices and immersive spaces are explored and analysed in this original audience study.
Moving from intimate community gatherings to blockbuster urban venues, from isolated farmhouses to Olympic stadia, Experiencing Cinema considers the lure and value of these popular events. Often attracting a diverse, intergenerational range of participants, from early-adopter urban hipsters to DIY rural communities, the growing demand for participatory cinema within the contemporary marketplace is analysed alongside broader debates circulating around the move away from traditional tiered seating and increased audience mobility and the de-centring of the film text.
The Injustices of Rape
Authors: Jacquet Catherine O. 
Published: January 2021

From 1950 to 1980, activists in the black freedom and women's liberation movements mounted significant campaigns in response to the injustices of rape. These activists challenged the dominant legal and social discourses of the day and redefined the political agenda on sexual violence for over three decades. How activists framed sexual violence--as either racial injustice, gender injustice, or both--was based in their respective frameworks of oppression. The dominant discourse of the black freedom movement constructed rape primarily as the product of racism and white supremacy, whereas the dominant discourse of women's liberation constructed rape as the result of sexism and male supremacy. In The Injustices of Rape, Catherine O. Jacquet is the first to examine these two movement responses together, explaining when and why they were in conflict, when and why they converged, and how activists both upheld and challenged them. Throughout, she uses the history of antirape activism to reveal the difficulty of challenging deeply ingrained racist and sexist ideologies, the unevenness of reform, and the necessity of an intersectional analysis to combat social injustice.
Explaining to different audiences the new definition and experimental realizations of the kilogram
Authors: Valdés Joaquín 
Published: January 2021

Abstract. Different options were discussed before reaching the final agreement on the new definitions of the SI units, effective from 20 May 2019, especially with regard to the kilogram, now defined in terms of the numerical value of the Planck constant (h). Replacing the artefact definition of the kilogram with a new one based on the mass of a particle, or the atomic mass constant (mu), would have been preferable for ease of understanding, among other reasons. In this paper we discuss some limitations of teaching to different audiences what a kilogram is in the redefined International System of Units (SI), including realizations of the new definition.
Mapping soil slaking index and assessing the impact of management in a mixed agricultural landscape

Abstract. Soil aggregate stability is a useful indicator of soil physical health and can be used to monitor condition through time. A novel method of quantifying soil aggregate stability, based on the relative increase in the footprint area of aggregates as they disintegrate when immersed in water, has been developed and can be performed using a smartphone application – SLAKES. In this study the SLAKES application was used to obtain slaking index (SI) values of topsoil samples (0 to 10 cm) at 158 sites to assess aggregate stability in a mixed agricultural landscape. A large range in SI values of 0 to 7.3 was observed. Soil properties and land use were found to be correlated with observed SI values. Soils with clay content >25 % and cation exchange capacity (CEC) : clay ratio >0.5 had the highest observed SI values. Variation in SI for these soils was driven by organic carbon (OC) content which fit a segmented exponential decay function. An OC threshold of 1.1 % was observed, below which the most extreme SI values were observed. Soils under dryland and irrigated cropping had lower OC content and higher observed SI values compared to soils under perennial cover. These results suggest that farm managers can mitigate the effects of extreme slaking by implementing management practices to increase OC content, such as minimum tillage or cover cropping. A regression-kriging method utilising a Cubist model with a suite of spatial covariates was used to map SI across the study area. Accurate predictions were produced with leave-one-out cross-validation, giving a Lin's concordance correlation coefficient (LCCC) of 0.85 and a root-mean-square error (RMSE) of 1.1. Similar validation metrics were observed in an independent test set of samples consisting of 50 observations (LCCC = 0.82; RMSE = 1.1). The potential impact of implementing management practices that promote soil OC sequestration on SI values in the study area was explored by simulating how a 0.5 and 1.0 % increase in OC would impact SI values at observation points and then mapping this across the study area. Overall, the maps produced in this study have the potential to guide management decisions by identifying areas that currently experience extreme slaking and highlighting areas that are expected to have a significant reduction in slaking by increasing OC content.

A Reflection on the Evolution of Corporate Culture and Conflict Resolution (Part I)
In this article, a roadmap is proposed for both individual growth and eventual maturation of an organisation as regards how conflict is dealt with. Much can be achieved within organisations when the individuals who work there succeed in discovering and deploying their potential in order to deal with conflict in a mature manner.An organisation is a compilation of individuals and the overall culture of the organisation is, ultimately, determined by the collective wisdom of the people that form it, when it comes to dealing with conflict and related difficulties. The authors of this article propose a shared view to unearth the potential of an individual working in an organisation to creatively and proactively manage conflict, thereby opening a corporate portal that empowers the adoption of beneficial solutions in response to disarming and preventing difficult organisational situations.In Part I, the authors will discuss the transformation of the fear-based ego to clear a pathway for development to maturation of individuals and the overall culture of an organisation, following a multidimensional three-step Evolution System.
Analysis of Aristolochia longa L. Medicinal Plant from Algeria
Authors: Lamari Zohra , Negache Houria 
Published: January 2021

In recent time, the therapeutic use of medicinal plants has increased all over the world. The efficacy of herbs for curative purposes is often accounted of its mineral and organic constituents. Neutron activation analysis (INAA) has been applied to mineral determination of Aristolochia Longa (bereztem), medicinal plant used to cure some diseases observed in Algeria especially cancer. In this work the mass fractions of Cr (15.22 ± 3.5 μg/g), Na (269.98 ± 25.01 μg/g), La (0.478 ± 0.041 μg/g), K (1.33 ± 0.23 μg/g), Br (1.2 ± 0.19 μg/g), As (0.697 ± 0.038) and Sb (66.09 ± 11.24 μg/g), were determined. This herb was collected from Taourirt Aden Berber village situated in Northern Algeria. Five elements were quantified in certified AIEA standards IAEA-V10 and IAEA-SL1 for checking the accuracy of our procedure. It was noteworthy the values obtained from this work are in good agreement with the certified values, the Z-score values for all elements were |Z| < 3. We believe that herb is natural and harmless compared with chemical drugs. Unfortunately the potential toxicity due to the Aristolochia Acids content has required the analysis of Aristolochia Longa by CG/MS and HPLC to highlight this compound. The standard of Aristolochic Acid (Sigma A5512-25 mg Yellow powder lot # wxbb6331VPCODE) was used as reference.
Magnetic Properties of Heusler Alloys and Nanoferrites
Authors: Singh Devinder , Chand Verma Kuldeep 
Published: January 2021

In this chapter, results of our recent investigations on the structural, microstructural and magnetic properties of Cu-based Heusler alloys and MFe2O4 (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) nanostructures will be discussed. The chapter is divided into two parts, the first part describes growth and different characterizations of Heusler alloys while in the second part magnetic properties of nano-ferrites are discussed. The Cu50Mn25Al25-xGax (x = 0, 2, 4, 8 and 10 at %) alloys have been synthesized in the form of ribbons. The alloys with x ≤ 8 show the formation of Heusler single phase of the Cu2MnAl structure. Further increase of Ga content gives rise to the formation of γ-Cu9Al4 type phase together with Cu2MnAl Heusler phase. The alloys are ferromagnetically ordered and the saturation magnetization (Ms) decreases slightly with increasing Ga concentration. Annealing of the ribbons significantly changes the magnetic properties of Cu50Mn25Al25-xGax alloys. The splitting in the zero field cooled (ZFC) and field cooled (FC) magnetization curves at low temperature has been observed for alloys. Another important class of material is Nanoferrites. The structural and magnetization behaviour of spinel MFe2O4 nanoferrites are quite different from that of bulk ferrites. X-ray diffraction study revealed spinel structure of MFe2O4 nanoparticles. The observed ferromagnetic behaviour of MFe2O4 depends on the nanostructural shape as well as ferrite inversion degree. The magnetic interactions in Ce doped CoFe2O4 are antiferromagnetic that was confirmed by zero field/field cooling measurements at 100 Oe. Log R (Ω) response measurement of MgFe2O4 thin film was taken for 10–90% relative humidity (% RH) change at 300 K.

Un droit promotionnel de la diversité culturelle « en montagnes russes » : l’Union européenne et le Canada du cycle d’Uruguay à l’Accord Canada‒États-Unis‒Mexique (ACEUM)
Authors: Bellucci Lucia 
Published: January 2021

Le présent article vise à analyser les enjeux liés au droit à fonction promotionnelle, dont la théorisation revient tout particulièrement à Norberto Bobbio, dans les domaines de la culture, face au commerce multilatéral et bilatéral. Cet article vise à analyser les négociations multilatérales au sein de l’Organisation mondiale du commerce, les accords de libre-échange (ALE) et, plus généralement, les « étapes juridiquement pertinentes » les plus significatives pour l’UE et le Canada en matière de protection et de promotion de la culture dans leurs relations commerciales extérieures. Pour ce qui est des ALE, il considère l’AECG, le PTP, le PTPGP et l’ACEUM ainsi que les négociations du PTCI. L’article soutient que les positions respectives de l’UE et du Canada sur la protection et la promotion culturelle ne peuvent plus être considérées comme étant constantes dans le temps : elles varient au contraire sensiblement. Depuis l’adoption des ALE, selon les négociations ou les accords, les mesures d’incitation concernant l’audiovisuel, ou plus généralement les industries culturelles, se trouvent plus ou moins protégées et connaissent des « hauts » et des « bas ». Pour ce qui est de la possibilité pour l’UE et le Canada de garder des techniques d’incitation à la diversité culturelle et d’en introduire des nouvelles, l’article suggère la métaphore d’un droit promotionnel de la diversité culturelle « en montagnes russes ». L’analyse de chaque négociation, accord ou « étape » devient donc essentielle pour appréhender comment l’UE et le Canada relèvent le défi d’un droit promotionnel de la diversité culturelle face au commerce mondial. Cela se fait en particulier par une approche contextuelle du droit, qui permet de dévoiler les enjeux et les intérêts sociopolitiques et économiques concernés. L’article s’interroge également sur les défis, pour un droit promotionnel de la diversité culturelle, du cadre géopolitique élargi, dans lequel la Chine est devenue un acteur majeur du commerce mondial, et de l’environnement numérique. Il développe enfin une conclusion sur ces thèmes, en soulignant qu’ils seront très probablement à l’origine de conflits dans la mise en oeuvre d’ALE et dans des négociations futures.
Hydrogen‐Bond‐Assisted Exciplex Emitters Realizing Improved Efficiencies and Stabilities in Organic Light Emitting Diodes

Published: January 2021

AbstractExciplex emitters have been extensively studied owing to their natural thermally activated delayed fluorescence characteristic, and many efforts have been made to improve their performance in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). In this work, the authors propose a novel strategy by introducing intermolecular hydrogen bond (HB) between electron‐donating and electron‐accepting constituting molecules (D and A) to suppress non‐radiative transition of exciplex emitters and thus improve their efficiencies and stabilities in the OLEDs. Accordingly, three exciplex emitters are constructed by using 1,3‐di(10H‐phenoxazin‐10‐yl)benzene (13PXZB) as donor and 4,6‐bis(3,5‐di(pyridin‐4‐yl)phenyl)‐2‐methylpyrimidine (B4PyMPM), 4,6‐bis(3,5‐di(pyridin‐3‐yl)phenyl)‐2‐methylpyrimidine (B3PyMPM), and 4,6‐bis(3,5‐di(pyridin‐2‐yl)phenyl)‐2‐methylpyrimidine (B2PyMPM) as acceptors. With the most intermolecular HBs, 13PXZB:B4PyMPM shows the highest photoluminescence quantum yield (69.6%) and the lowest rate constant of non‐radiative process of triplet excitons (3.4 × 105 S−1). And the OLED using 13PXZB:B4PyMPM as the emitter successfully exhibits a much higher external quantum efficiency of 14.6% than other contrastive devices. Moreover, the half lifetime of 13PXZB:B4PyMPM is 4.8 and 8.2 times higher than those of 13PXZB:B3PyMPM and 13PXZB:B2PyMPM in the devices. This work not only demonstrates that intermolecular HBs between D and A molecules can improve the performance of exciplex emitters, but also paves a new route to develop efficient and stable exciplex emitters.
Designing the Bending Stiffness of 2D Material Heterostructures

Published: January 2021

Abstract2D monolayers represent some of the most deformable inorganic materials, with bending stiffnesses approaching those of lipid bilayers. Achieving 2D heterostructures with similar properties would enable a new class of deformable devices orders of magnitude softer than conventional thin‐film electronics. Here, by systematically introducing low‐friction twisted or heterointerfaces, interfacial engineering is leveraged to tailor the bending stiffness of 2D heterostructures over several hundred percent. A bending model is developed and experimentally validated to predict and design the deformability of 2D heterostructures and how it evolves with the composition of the stack, the atomic arrangements at the interfaces, and the geometry of the structure. Notably, when each atomic layer is separated by heterointerfaces, the total bending stiffness reaches a theoretical minimum, equal to the sum of the constituent layers regardless of scale of deformation—lending the extreme deformability of 2D monolayers to device‐compatible multilayers.
Effective Pretreatment Routes of Polyethylene Terephthalate Fabric for Digital Inkjet Printing of Enzyme
Authors: Biswas Tuser , Yu Junchun , Nierstrasz Vincent 
Published: January 2021

AbstractEnzymes immobilized on synthetic polyethylene terephthalate (PET) textile surface by resource‐efficient inkjet printing technology can promote developments for various novel applications. Synthetic fabrics often require adequate pretreatments to facilitate such printing process. This work discusses PET–woven fabric pretreatment routes to improve wettability by alkaline, enzymatic, and plasma processes for effective printing of lysozyme using an industrial piezoelectric printhead. Results indicate that all pretreated samples contain similar amount of enzymes upon printing. Plasma treated fabrics show relatively more hydrophilic surface characteristics, better protein binding stability, and lower retained activity. Alkali and cutinase‐treated samples possess relatively higher activity due to greater amount of enzyme desorption to substrate solution. Depending on respective enzyme‐binding stability, combination of a well pretreated surface and inkjet as preferential placement technology, the approach of this study can be used as a facile enzyme immobilization method for suitable applications, for example, controlled‐release and bio‐sensing.
