Published: November 2024

AbstractThis paper explores sustainable energy management strategies for a remote community on the Island of Bhashanchar in the Bay of Bengal, designated by the Government of Bangladesh to host Rohingya refugee camps. The island lacks utility‐scale power infrastructure, relying primarily on rooftop solar systems. Addressing the challenge of efficient energy utilization, the study analyses the Bhashanchar Community System's energy dynamics, load demand, and renewable energy integration feasibility. The primary objective is to design an optimised hybrid microgrid system to balance energy supply and demand, reducing blackout risks. A Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition based load management system is introduced for real‐time energy distribution, enhancing reliability. The proposed off‐grid hybrid microgrid system includes solar PV, wind, diesel, biomass, wind turbine, tidal turbine, and battery storage. It incorporates priority setting mechanisms to categorise energy sources by reliability, availability, and environmental impact, ensuring consistent, reliable, and sustainable energy supply. The study demonstrates that the proposed system can achieve significant energy savings, around 23%, compared to traditional models, showcasing the effectiveness of the hybrid microgrid approach in powering remote communities with limited conventional energy access.
Mandating a common language in the multinational enterprise: The case of Cummins in India
Authors: Simoes Sean , Talaulicar Anant , Verbeke Alain 
Published: November 2024

AbstractIn this study, we answer the call for integrating insights from different language-related research areas in international business. We investigate the antecedents and outcomes of mandating English as a common language in the Indian subsidiaries and joint ventures of Cummins, a large US-headquartered industrial, multinational enterprise (MNE). Our Transaction Cost Theory lens shows how the mandated adoption of English significantly improved the Indian subsidiaries’ position in the MNE’s network. Through retrospectively analyzing the experience of the authors in top and middle management roles with Cummins in India and utilizing a range of publicly available information, we also identified the significant role of English in fostering inclusion in India, where the broad societal context of diversity and inclusion is very different from that prevailing in the MNE’s home country.

Published: November 2024

Selective area heteroepitaxy provides an alternate solution for the monolithic integration of high-performance III-V lasers on Si with effective management of crystalline defects. Here, we report large-area single-crystal InP grown on (001) patterned silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafers using the lateral aspect ratio trapping (LART) method by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. The InP grown on SOI features a length of hundreds of micrometers and a width of up to 8.5 μm with an “in-plane” configuration. Based on fine-tuned growth conditions, especially in the InP nucleation layer on the Si interface, crystalline defects have been minimized resulting in large-area high-quality materials for active devices. Growth mechanisms describing each stage of epitaxy are presented to explain the difference of lateral growth in small and large material volumes. Comprehensive material characterizations and device implementations were performed on the InP/SOI to characterize its viability as an integration platform for photonics. III-V lasers with micro-cavity and Fabry–Perot cavity were fabricated and statistically analyzed to demonstrate the feasibility of providing photonic function. Attaining large-area InP/SOI addresses the bottleneck of limited III-V material volume in selective epitaxy leading to a critical step toward monolithic integration of III-V on Si. Furthermore, the high-quality InP/SOI could serve as a mini template for regrowth to construct various photonic building blocks. Large-area and high-quality III-V on SOI here ensure LART as an easy, flexible, and tolerable method for the potential realization of fully integrated Si photonics.

This study undertakes a comparative analysis of Schottky diodes using three prominent SiC polytypes (3C, 4H, and 6H). The comparison involves meticulous calculations of the Schottky barrier resulting from the metal/SiC interface for each polytype assessed in both practical and theoretical scenarios. Specifically, the barrier height (ΦB) is systematically plotted against the metal work function (ΦM) across a range of metal work functions from 3.65 to 5.65 eV. Furthermore, the investigation extends to the saturation currents of three distinct charge transport models for each SiC polytype: thermionic current (TE), thermionic field emission, and field emission. Initial analyses plot saturation currents as a function of concentration within a temperature range of 100–500 K. Subsequent examinations plot saturation currents as a function of temperature across a concentration gradient from 1014 to 1020 cm−3. The comparison between the activation energy and thermal energy at standard room temperature (T = 300 K) yielded results consistent with theoretical predictions, affirming the robustness and applicability of each model within its dominant range.
Archetypes and change in wildfire risk perceptions, behaviours and intentions among adults in Tasmania, Australia
Authors: Campbell Sharon L. , Williamson Grant J. , Johnston Fay H. , Bowman David M. J. S. 
Published: November 2024

Background Anthropogenic climate change globally increases wildfire risk. Understanding how wildfire threats impact community-wide risk perceptions and response options will critically inform resilience education strategies. Aim To gain an increased understanding of wildfire risk perceptions and self-evacuation intentions among residents in the wildfire-prone state of Tasmania, Australia. Methods We co-designed survey questions with stakeholders from emergency management, health and community recovery, using a computer-aided telephone interview to survey residents over 18 years of age. Numerical classification analysis, linear regression and descriptive statistics were used to analyse survey data. Results We identified four archetypes – the ‘immediate leaver’, ‘prepared stayer’, ‘unprepared leaver’ and ‘informed leaver’, each with distinct sociodemographic characteristics. Key variables were gender, age, location and income, with women most likely to leave and lower-income householders from rural areas most likely to stay. Previous wildfire experience and owning a home were significantly associated with increased preparedness actions. Compared to 2016, we found a significant increase in the proportion of residents intending to leave their property, with rural men least likely and urban women most likely to leave. Implications Recent education campaigns have likely driven increases in wildfire threat-related self-evacuation, yet the existence of distinct archetypes argues for more tailored messaging and education programs.

Authors: Sharif M , Ajmal Madiha 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This paper aims to develop non-interacting ghost dark energy and generalized ghost dark energy models within the framework of f(Q) theory using the correspondence scheme. We use pressureless matter and a power-law scale factor. The cosmic implications of the resulting models are studied through the equation of state parameter and the phase planes. We also check the stability of the reconstructed models through the squared speed of sound parameter. The equation of state parameter exhibits a phantom era, the

Abstract
In the last few years, research on advanced ultrafast photonic devices has attracted great interest from laser physicists. As a semiconductor material with excellent nonlinear saturation absorption characteristics, GaAs has been used in solid-state and fiber lasers as a mode-locker. However, the pulse widths that have been reported in the searchable published literature are all long and the shortest is tens of picoseconds. Femtosecond pulse widths, desired for a variety of applications, have not yet been reported in GaAs-based pulsed lasers. In this work, we further explore the nonlinear characteristics of GaAs that has been magnetron sputtered onto the surface of a tapered fiber and its application in the generation of femtosecond lasing via effective dispersion optimization and nonlinearity management. With the enhanced interaction between evanescent waves and GaAs nanosheets, mode-locked soliton pulses as short as 830 fs are generated at repetition rates of 4.64 MHz. As far as we know, this is the first time that femtosecond-level pulses have been generated with a GaAs-based saturable absorber. In addition, soliton molecules, including in the dual-pulse state, are also realized under stronger pumping. This work demonstrates that GaAs-based photonic devices have good application prospects in effective polymorphous ultrashort pulsed laser generation.
Precision bounds for quantum phase estimation using two-mode squeezed Gaussian states
Authors: Zhang 张 Jian-Dong 建东 , Li 李 Chuang 闯 , Hou 侯 Lili 丽丽 , Wang 王 Shuai 帅 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Quantum phase estimation based on Gaussian states plays a crucial role in many application fields. In this paper, we study the precision bound for the scheme using two-mode squeezed Gaussian states. The quantum Fisher information is calculated and its maximization is used to determine the optimal parameters. We find that two single-mode squeezed vacuum states are the optimal Gaussian inputs for a fixed two-mode squeezing process. The corresponding precision bound is sub-Heisenberg-limited and scales as N
−1/2. For practical purposes, we consider the effects originating from photon loss. The precision bound can still outperform the shot-noise limit when the lossy rate is below 0.4. Our work may demonstrate a significant and promising step towards practical quantum metrology.
How mixed strategies make a difference in the one-shot prisoner’s dilemma
Authors: Bruner Justin P 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Mixed strategies – where one opts to randomize one’s decision – are thought to be of minimal significance in the one-shot prisoner’s dilemma. We argue against this commonsense view. Mixed strategies play a role in the emergence of cooperation and can even stabilize some level of cooperation under conditions where cooperation was previously thought impossible.
AlphaCRV: a pipeline for identifying accurate binder topologies in mass-modeling with AlphaFold
Authors: Guzmán-Vega Francisco J , Arold Stefan T 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

Motivation
The speed and accuracy of deep learning-based structure prediction algorithms make it now possible to perform in silico “pull-downs” to identify protein–protein interactions on a proteome-wide scale. However, on such a large scale, existing scoring algorithms are often insufficient to discriminate biologically relevant interactions from false positives.

Results
Here, we introduce AlphaCRV, a Python package that helps identify correct interactors in a one-against-many AlphaFold screen by clustering, ranking, and visualizing conserved binding topologies, based on protein sequence and fold.

Availability and implementation

Short-term outcomes depending on type of oesophagojejunostomy in laparoscopic total gastrectomy for gastric cancer: retrospective study based on a Korean Nationwide Survey for Gastric Cancer in 2019
Authors: Kang Gun , Kim Jiyeong , Lee Ju-Hee 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

Background
The study aimed to assess postoperative complication rates of different oesophagojejunostomy (EJ) techniques used in laparoscopic total gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

Methods
A total of 1155 patients who underwent laparoscopic total gastrectomy were retrospectively selected from the data obtained from the Korean Nationwide Survey for gastric cancer in 2019. Morbidity rate was compared between patients who received intracorporeal or extracorporeal EJ using linear or circular staplers during laparoscopic total gastrectomy. The variables of the groups were balanced using the inverse probability of treatment weighting.

Results
Seven hundred and seventy-three patients received intracorporeal EJ using a linear stapler (IL), 137 received intracorporeal EJ using a circular stapler (IC), 134 received extracorporeal EJ using a linear stapler (EL) and 111 received extracorporeal EJ using a circular stapler (EC). The overall complication rates were lower in the extracorporeal group (EL: 13.4% versus EC: 12.6%) compared to the intracorporeal group (IL: 22.6% versus IC: 17.5%) (P = 0.006). Fewer major complications were observed in the extracorporeal group (EL: 1.4% versus EC: 1.8%) compared to the intracorporeal group (IL: 9.4% versus IC: 7.3%) (P = 0.004). There was no significant difference in EJ-related complications between the groups (P = 0.418 in EJ leakage and P = 0.474 in EJ stricture). Multivariable analysis showed that the IL method correlated with more overall and major complications than the extracorporeal method.

Conclusion
The results of this study suggest that despite its widespread use, the IL method is a challenging procedure with higher complication rates than the extracorporeal method. Further high-quality studies are required to confirm the results.

Abstract
This two-part review addresses the pressing need for environmental sustainability in dermatological surgery, driven by the National Health Service’s commitment to net-zero emissions. Part 2 of this review extends the discussion of sustainability in dermatological surgery by focusing on system-wide changes in service delivery and identifying future opportunities for reducing environmental impact. Building on the strategies outlined in Part 1, which explored low-carbon alternatives and operational resource optimization, Part 2 advocates for a comprehensive shift in the skin surgery service. Key strategies include reducing overall surgical activity, advancing research and innovation, and enhancing management practices to align with sustainability goals. Reducing surgical activity mainly involves the prevention of skin cancers, in addition to optimizing current patient pathways and empowering patients to take ownership of their follow-up. Outside of immediate clinical decision making at the individual level, the review highlights the importance of managerial policy, procurement practices and supply chain factors in driving broader national and international sustainability efforts. Advancing the sustainability agenda will also require targeted research and innovation, particularly in digital health solutions using evidence-based practices. By integrating these strategies, this review aims to provide a framework for reducing the environmental footprint of dermatological surgery and advancing towards a more sustainable healthcare system.

Abstract

Background and Aims
Normalization of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and fecal calprotectin (FCP) are suggested as intermediate treatment targets for Crohn’s disease (CD). This analysis evaluates achievement of biomarker normalization and the relationship between improvements in biomarker concentrations and clinical and endoscopic outcomes among patients treated with risankizumab.

Methods
This post hoc analysis included patients with moderately to severely active CD and elevated baseline hs-CRP (&gt;5 mg/L) or FCP (&gt;250 µg/g) concentrations from the 12-week ADVANCE and MOTIVATE induction studies, and the 52-week FORTIFY maintenance study. We assessed the proportion of patients achieving biomarker normalization, defined as hs-CRP ≤5 mg/L and FCP ≤250 µg/g, and the association between achieving biomarker normalization and improved clinical and endoscopic outcomes.

Results
Among 748 patients with elevated baseline hs-CRP or FCP concentrations, higher proportions of patients treated with risankizumab vs placebo achieved normalization of hs-CRP (Week 12: placebo, 17.5%; risankizumab 600 mg, 48.5%; Week 52: placebo, 29.5%; risankizumab 180 mg, 45.2%; risankizumab 360 mg, 40.8%) and FCP (Week 12: placebo, 9.1%; risankizumab 600 mg, 26.0%; Week 52: placebo, 28.0%; risankizumab 180 mg, 43.0%; risankizumab 360 mg, 44.0%; nominal p &lt; 0.05 vs placebo for all comparisons). Achievement of both clinical or endoscopic outcomes and improvement of biomarker concentrations occurred at higher rates among patients treated with risankizumab vs placebo, regardless of prior exposure to biologic therapies.

Conclusions
Risankizumab treatment led to sustained normalization of inflammatory biomarkers with improved clinical and endoscopic results.

Abstract

Aims
Left ventricular (LV) ring-like scar on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has been linked to malignant arrhythmias in patients with non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy. This study aimed to perform a comprehensive evaluation of this phenotype and to identify risk factors for life-threatening arrhythmic events (LAEs), a composite of sudden cardiac death (SCD), aborted SCD, and sustained ventricular tachycardia.

Methods and results
One hundred and fifteen patients [median age 39 (interquartile range, IQR, 28–52), 42% females] were identified at 6 referral centres. Inclusion criteria were ring-like LV scar [≥3 contiguous segments with sub-epicardial/midwall late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in the same slice] and one among: pathogenic/likely pathogenic genetic variant, family history for cardiomyopathy, or arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy diagnosis. During the study follow-up, survival free from LAEs was 60% (3.8 events/100 patients/year); at a median follow-up of 4.6 years (IQR 1.7–8.4) it was 84%. On multivariable analysis, anterior Q waves [hazard ratio (HR): 1.030, 95% confidence intervals (CI): 1.014–1.046, P &lt; 0.001], QRS width (HR: 4.642, 95% CI: 1.296–16.628, P = 0.018), and LV end-diastolic volume index (LVEDVi; HR: 1.011, 95% CI: 1.001–1.021, per mL/m2 increase, P = 0.040) were independently associated with LAEs; with good discrimination power (Harrell’s C-index = 0.796). Three risk categories were identified: normal electrocardiogram (ECG), abnormal ECG and no LAEs predictive variables, abnormal ECG and ≥1 LAEs predictive variables, with a decreasing survival from 100 to 65% and 49%, respectively (Log-rank test = 0.015).

Conclusion
In this study, the LV ring-like scar phenotype was associated with a high rate of malignant arrhythmias in presence of anterior Q waves, QRS prolongation, and increased LVEDVi. A normal ECG identified a lower risk sub-group.
