Abstract
The urgent need for safe and high energy batteries is pushing the battery studies towards the solid-state direction, and the most central question is finding proper solid-state electrolyte. So far, the recently studied electrolyte systems have obvious advantages and fatal weaknesses, resulting in indecisive plans for industrial production. In this work, we propose a thin and dense lithiated polyphenylene sulfide (PPS)-based solid polymer electrolyte prepared by a solvent-free process in a pilot stage. Moreover, the PPS surface is functionalized to immobilize the anions, increase the Li ion transference number to 0.8-0.9, and widen the electrochemical potential window (>5.1 V). At room temperature, the PPS-based quasi-solid electrolyte (PPS-QSSE) exhibits high intrinsic Li+ diffusion coefficient and ionic conductivity (>10-4 S cm-1), excellent thermal stability, and Li+ transport rectifying effect, resulting in homogenous Li-plating on Cu at high current density. Based on the limited Li-plated Cu anode or anode-free Cu, high loadings cathode and high voltage, the Li metal batteries with PPS-QSSEs deliver high energy density (>1000 Wh L-1) and good cycling at high power (900 W L-1) exceeding that of state-of-the-art Li-ion batteries. The results enlighten the mechanism of solid-liquid two phase conduction and promote the solid-state battery towards practicality.

Published: February 2021

Abstract
BackgroundCurrent therapies for migraine have proven partially effective, highlighting the need for alternative treatment options. In this report, the authors conducted a single arm pilot exploratory study to evaluate the effect of Kiatsu with Ki training in adult females with episodic migraine.MethodsStudy subjects established a baseline migraine frequency over 4 weeks. During the following 4 weeks, each subject received instruction in Ki training (to improve concentration, balance, and relaxation), accompanied by Kiatsu (a focused touch method that reduces tension, swelling, and pain). Subjects then participated in one session a month for an additional 6 months. The initial session was 1 hour; subsequent sessions averaged 30 minutes. Subjects documented migraine frequency, migraine-specific quality of life scores, and medication use.ResultSixty-nine subjects met the study inclusion criteria and 21 completed the study. Subjects reported a significant reduction in migraine frequency after 1 month (from 7.2 to 3.8 migraines/month; p < 0.05), with an overall 53% reduction at 8 months (p < 0.001). Significant improvements in quality of life (QoL) were reported after 1 month, with continued improvements until study completion (p < 0.0001). A moderate reduction in medication use was also documented (p < 0.03), corresponding with improved QoL scores.ConclusionKiatsu with Ki training may be an effective treatment option for females with migraines, either in combination with medications or as a potential alternative to medications for patients who do not benefit from conventional therapies.
Dispersal of entomopathogenic fungi, Metarhizium anisopliae and its synergistic with predatory mite, Phytoseiulus macropilis for controlling Tetranychus urticae

Abstract
The entomopathogenic fungus “Metarhizium anisopliaeˮ and predatory mite “Phytoseiulus macropilisˮ are effective biological controlling agents of Tetranychus urticae. Recent studies have shown that predatory mites, used as biocontrol agents can be loaded with entomopathogenic fungal conidia to increase infection rates in pest populations. It was necessary to study the effect of M. anisopliae against P. macropilis before executing the experiment. The results showed that the predator mite was more effected by 1×109 conidia/ml of M. anisopliae, while the predator had low effect with 1×106 conidia/ml of M. anisopliae. It was found that the predator had poor effect at indirect spray. Results showed that dispersal of M. anisopliae loaded on P. macropilis delivered high numbers of conidia to T. urticae infested leaves, thereby increased the proportion of T. urticae that came into contact with the fungus.Our study suggests that loading certain predatory mite species with fungal conidia can increase their capacity to suppress thrips populations by combining predation and dispersing pathogens when releasing the loading predatory mite with M. anisopliae for controlling T. urticae on cucumber crop under greenhouse conditions
Building data analytics skills for clinical drug development quality professionals - the Data Analytics University training program

Published: February 2021

Abstract
Clinical drug development is a complex and extensive process that entails multiple stakeholders alongside patients, requires large capital expenditures and takes nearly a decade on average to complete. To ensure the correct development of this process, rigorous quality activities must be conducted to assess and guarantee the Good Clinical and Pharmacovigilance Practices (GxP) for study compliance. For about 25 years, most of these activities have been performed in the form of audits, which implies a high volume of manual work and resources in addition to being reactive by nature. Due to the limitations of this approach, together with intent to leverage new technologies in the data analytics field, a more holistic, proactive and data-driven approach needed to take place. For this to happen, quality assurance expertise needed to be complemented by the data literacy skillset. To achieve this, the Data Analytics University (DAU) was created. An in-house training program composed by two pathways that provided a framework for clinical quality staff to develop their data analytics capabilities. The first pathway covers the basics of statistics, probability and data-related terminology, while the second deepens further into the topics covered in the former followed by hands-on activities to put the knowledge to test. After successful completion of 15 DAU sessions, over 310 trained staff were able to apply their learning on data analytics and solve potential issues that might arise with a given dataset. In the near future, the DAU will be made available externally as an e-learning training program.

Abstract
Abstract

The development of robust and inexpensive electrocatalysts that are capable of catalyzing the overall water splitting reaction is highly essential for large scale production of hydrogen. Herein, we report the successful liquid-liquid extraction and hydrothermal synthesis of a highly stable columbite-tantalite electrocatalysts (Fe0.79Mn0.21Nb0.16Ta0.84O6) with remarkable HER and OER performance in alkaline media. The extracted Fe0.79Mn0.21Nb0.16Ta0.84O6 electrocatalyst shows a low overpotential of 190.2 and 284.8 mV at 10/mA cm-2 in current density in situ for HER and OER, respectively. The electrocatalyst also exhibited low Tafel slopes of 56.36 mV/dec for HER and 112.85 mV/dec for OER, verifying their rapid catalytic kinetics. The electrolyzer maintained the cell voltage of 1.63 V and potential-time stability close to that of Pt/C & RuO2/C. The intrinsic mechanism for the exceptional HER and OER performance was further unravelled through first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations, predicting very low Gibbs free energy of hydrogen adsorption (ΔGH* ≈ 0.09 eV) and low overpotential (η = 0.47 eV at the Mn sites) for OER on the Fe0.75Mn0.25Ta1.875Nb0.125O6 catalyst. Our results demonstrate that columbite-tantalite electrocatalysts offer great promise for efficient overall water splitting.

Abstract
Background For Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2, the investigation of the heterogeneity of individual infectiousness is important due to the recorded widespread cross reactive immunity of general population that can alter transmission dynamics. We therefore aimed to understand how SARS-COV-2 transmits in the general population in relation to age.DesignUsing a sample of infected population with SARS-COV-2 in close geographical proximity to the initial Severe Advanced Respiratory Syndrome-1 (SARS-1) outbreak, we explored the association between infector’s age and dispersion (or heterogeneity) of individual infectiousness (k) in order to investigate the relatedness with the age of an individual’s capability to disperse SARS-COV-2.ResultsWe have found a negative association between k and increase of infector’s age. Significantly this becomes more evident for the age group of 20-60 years comparing with the infectors of younger age.ConclusionsNon pharmaceutical interventions can be effective to age group between 20-60 years whereas in youngsters and older patients containment of spreading must be made by other means to be effective. Immunity differences between age groups may reflect their differences in heterogeneity predicted by variance in dispersion parameter (k).
Chinese Herbal Medicine (“3 Medicines and 3 Formulations”) for COVID-19: Rapid Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Published: February 2021

Abstract
Background: To evaluate the evidence behind claims that Chinese Herbal Medicine, specifically “three medicines and three formulations” (3M3F, comprising Jinhua Qinggan, Lianhua Qingwen, Xuebijing, Qingfei Paidu, Huashi Baidu and Xuanfei Baidu), is an effective treatment for COVID-19. Methods: We searched PubMed, MEDLINE and CNKI databases, preprint servers, clinical trial registries and supplementary sources for Chinese- or English-language randomised trials or non-randomised studies with comparator groups, which tested the constituents of 3M3F in the treatment of COVID-19 up to September 2020. Primary outcome was change in disease severity. Secondary outcomes included various symptoms. Meta-analysis (using generic inverse variance random effects model) was performed when there were two or more studies reporting on the same symptom. Results: Of 607 articles identified, thirteen primary studies (six RCTs and seven retrospective non-randomised comparative studies) with 1467 participants met our final inclusion criteria. Studies were small and had significant methodological limitations, most notably potential bias in assessment of outcomes. No study convincingly demonstrated a statistically significant impact on change in disease severity. Eight studies reported sufficiently similar secondary outcomes to be included in a meta-analysis. Some statistically significant impacts on symptoms, chest CT manifestations, laboratory variables and length of stay were demonstrated, but such findings were sparse and many remain unreplicated.Conclusions: These findings neither support nor refute the claim that 3M3F alters the severity of COVID-19 or alleviates symptoms. More rigorous studies are required to properly ascertain the potential role of Chinese Herbal Medicine in COVID-19.
Privatisation of Socially Owned Enterprises, the Methods Used and the Impact on Economic Growth Empirical evidence from Kosovo
Authors: Bajra Ujkan 
Published: February 2021

Abstract
Privatisation together with the related social consequences and impact on the economy represent key challenges facing the former communist countries. This paper aims to assess how the privatisation of socially owned enterprises (SOEs) affects economic growth, entailing an empirical test using a panel effects regression analysis on a sample of 571 SOEs (or 1,600 assets) over a 16-year period (2003–2018). We find that privatisation at the aggregate level does not boost economic growth; in particular, the methods used to privatise SOEs or parts of them are not a determining factor. We also show that the quality of institutions is fragile, confirming a negative associations with economic growth. We also show that the effects of privatisation vary according to the method used, although we note that the sale of SOEs or parts thereof in the first decade of privatisation has been quite selective, devoid of development effects and faced with serious impediments to privatisation funds being directly invested in the economy.

Published: February 2021

Abstract
Many studies have focused on analyzing variation characteristics of the watershed resilience based on different indicators, while few efforts have been made to quantificationally evaluate contributions of climatic and anthropogenic factors to the varied resilience. In this study, we investigate changes in the seasonal runoff resilience of the entire Yangtze River basin during 1961–2014 by using a convex model and a resilience indicator (Pi). The MIKE 11HD model and the regression method were adopted to further differentiate effects of climate variations and human activities. Results show that climate variation (especially droughts and floods) and human activities exert negative and positive effects, respectively, and become primary reasons for falling and increasing trends in entire watershed resilience. These impacts grow with time under the gradually intensified climate variability and human activity.

Effects of climatic and anthropogenic factors on the varied watershed runoff resilience are quantificationally estimated. Investigating the changes in the watershed resilience in the entire Yangtze River.

Published: February 2021

Abstract
The coconut-based agricultural wastes have gained wide attention as an alternative adsorbent for the removal of diverse pollutants from the industrial effluents. This paper presents the zinc chloride activation of adsorbent carbon and the utilization as an adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solution. The characterisation of activated carbon was performed to get an insight into the adsorption mechanism. The ZnCl2 activated carbon acquired a higher specific surface area (544.66 m2 g−1) and stability (−32.6 mV). The impact of process parameters including contact time (20–220 min) and initial dye concentration (20–80 mg L−1) were evaluated on the effectiveness of activated carbon for dye removal. The results concluded that zinc chloride activated carbon showed a significant dye adsorption (39.683 mg g−1) at an initial concentration of 20 mg L−1 after 3 hours. Based on the correlation coefficient (R2), the Freundlich isotherm model (0.978–0.998) was best fitted for the experimental data followed by the intraparticle diffusion model (0.88–0.929) as the most appropriate model for malachite green dye removal. Additionally, the energy and thermogravimetric analysis portrayed the suitability of the carbon material to be used as an energy alternative to coal.
The Exaltation of Jesus in The Qur'an

Nabi ‘Isa termasuk manusia yang paling kontroversi. Orang Yahudi menuduhnya sebagai pembohong, dan menghukumnya dengan salib. Orang Kristen mendaulatnya sebagai Tuhan atau anak Tuhan, orang yang percaya padanya akan memperoleh keselamatan dunia akhirat, sebaliknya akan masuk neraka. Orang Islam mengakuinya sebagai manusia utama, yang diberi jabatan nabi/Rasul oleh Allah. Ia salah seorang dari nabi utama (ulul ‘azmi) dari deretan Nabi Adam, Nuh, Ibrahim, Musa, yang berakhir pada Nabi Muhammad. Yahudi mengakui bahwa penyaliban telah mengakhiri hidup ‘Isa. Oranhg Kristen mengakui ‘Isa telah d’Isalib (yang d’Isaksikan banyak orang) dan wafat di tiang penyaliban di bukit Golgota. Namun karena Istimewanya (sebagai anak Tuhan) ia hidup kembali. Setelah selama 40 hari dalam “persembunyian” ia “diangkat ke langit” oleh Tuhan dan ditaruh dipangkuannya sebelah kanan. Orang Islam, dengan memahami ayat-ayat Al-Qur’an, berpegang bahwa ‘Isa memang benar ada keistimewaan dari nabi-nabi lain. Bahkan ada yang mengakuinya belum pernah mati sampai sekarang. Tapi yang tersalib itu siapa, ‘Isa atau bukan? Lebih dari itu pemahaman yang benar mengenai ‘Isa diharapkan akan menjadi jembatan damai antara penganut tiga agama besar dunia – Yahudi, Kristen dan Islam.

Pendapat tentang status hukum zakat Jasa beragam. Ada kelompok yang menetapkan adanya kewajiban zakat pada jenis usaha yang bergerak di sektor jasa atau profesi, sementara yang lain tidak. Ternyata di antara para ulama yang menetapkan adanya zakat jasa, mereka juga berbeda pendapat tentang kemanakah diqiyāskan zakat jasa tersebut? Ada yang mengqiyāskan kepada zakat emas, zakat tanaman dan atau kombinasi antara zakat tanaman dengan zakat emas, zakat rikaz/harta terpendam, menganalogikan dengan khumus pada pembagian harta rampasan perang dan ada juga yang mengqiyāskan kepada zakat perdagangan. Perbedaan pendapat juga terjadi dikalangan para ulama dan cendekiawan yang tidak mewajibkan zakat jasa. Ada di antara mereka yang menjadikan harta dari hasil usaha bidang jasa bukan sebagai zakat yang berdiri sendiri, melainkan digabungkan sebagai zakat uang dan dikeluarkan zakatnya ketika telah berlalu haul (12 bulan qamariyah). Selain itu ada yang mewajibkan infaq terhadap harta yang diperoleh dari usaha jasa. Bahkan ada pendapat "aneh" yang berusaha menghilangkan eksistensi zakat diganti dengan pajak
