Moral panic and (in)security
Authors: Zhang Yue , Kaur Surinderpal 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
This study examines Trump’s depiction of Hispanic and Latinx immigrants, highlighting his use of moral panic to
activate fear and thereby deepen societal divisions within a broader right-wing populist agenda. Analyzing nearly half a million
words from Trump’s tweets using corpus-assisted critical discourse analysis, the research reveals that he portrays Hispanic and
Latinx immigrants as the ‘object of offence,’ amplifying their perceived threat while ‘scapegoating’ political adversaries and
other nations. As a ‘moral entrepreneur,’ he and his allies position themselves as protectors against this perceived danger,
warning of severe ‘consequences’ for national security and the economy if left unaddressed. Their ‘corrective action’ involves
implementing strict immigration policies, with the ‘desired outcome’ being enhanced security and economic prosperity. The study
demonstrates how the deployment of moral panic generates public fear and insecurity, legitimizing anti-immigrant sentiments and
justifying stringent measures. This, in turn, reinforces right-wing populism narratives with significant societal
implications.

Abstract
In this study, measurements of the 128Te(n, 2n)127m,gTe reaction cross sections and the computation of the isomeric cross section ratio were performed around the neutron energy of 13−15 MeV. We used a γ-ray spectrometric technique to conduct the measurements. The neutron energy was produced by the 3H(d,n)4He reaction. For the 128Te(n, 2n)127m,gTe reaction, the excited state, ground state, total cross section, and isomeric cross section ratio were determined using the TALYS-1.96 code, a theoretical nuclear model that allows for variations in density options. The initial experimental data, assessed nuclear data, and theoretical calculations based on the TALYS-1.96 algorithm were compared with the measurement results. The new data produced by this study are essential for validating nuclear models and establishing parameters for nuclear reactions.

Abstract
This paper simulates the transactions of thermal power plants participating in medium- and long-term power markets and carbon markets simultaneously. The bidding adjustment function in bilateral contracts can realistically reflect the adjustment of participants’ bids and ask prices. This paper introduces the carbon assets management module to improve the flexibility of transactions. The thermal power plants’ bidding strategies affect the market clearing prices in the centralized trading markets, which in turn will affect their profits. We implement a reinforcement learning algorithm to investigate the bidding adjustment of thermal power plants in central bidding markets. The simulation results show that an increase in the carbon quota auction ratio can increase the prices of electricity and carbon quotas. Our simulations also reveal that excessive emission penalties and carbon incentive mechanisms can decrease the total carbon emissions of the thermal power industry, which is beneficial for the green power transition.

Published: August 2024

Abstract
Chinese universities have the characteristics of a dense population and high per capita energy consumption. Quantitative analysis of campus carbon emissions, research on the characteristics of campus carbon emissions, and exploring the potential for campus emission reduction have become effective carbon reduction paths for universities. Taking a university in Shanghai as an example, based on the set organizational boundaries, carbon emission sources are determined and classified, and the most suitable carbon emission factors are selected for them. Activity data on relevant carbon emission sources is collected through on-site research, and the emission factor method is used for carbon emission accounting and analysis. Finally, by analyzing the current carbon reduction status of existing green technologies, feasible carbon reduction potentials of green technologies are explored to optimize campus carbon reduction strategies. The results show that indirect emissions generated by electricity are the main source of its carbon emissions, accounting for 89.9% of the total carbon emissions. The utilization of renewable energy and carbon sequestration through green plants offset at least 69.75% of the total carbon emissions on campus. In addition, promoting the centralized opening of self-study rooms, improving the shading system of graphic and text centers, and implementing energy-saving renovations for elevators can achieve energy efficiency rates of 76.12%, 20%, and 37.73%. The results of this study provide valuable references for the development of carbon emission inventories for new green campuses, carbon emission accounting, and the construction of low-carbon pathways for universities.

Published: August 2024

Abstract
Modifying separators with inorganic particles represents an effective route to improve their mechanical and thermal stability during abuse conditions but generally affects the cell’s electric performance. This study investigates the implementation and effect of Li1.5Al0.5Ti1.5(PO4)3 (LATP) solid electrolyte (SE) coated polyethylene (PE) separators on the electric and safety performances of an Ah-level energy-dense (≥300 Wh/kg) Li-ion cell. Compared to traditional coating materials like AlOOH (boehmite), LATP demonstrates a superior candidate that can significantly improve the passing rate of the cell in nail pentation tests to 80% and extend the endurance time of cell in heat box tests by tens of seconds and simultaneously enables improved cycling and rate performances. While the improved cell electric performance could be ascribed to the excellent Li ion conductivity of LATP, the safety improvement could be related to LATP’s beneficial role in enhancing the thermal stability of the separator and the suppressive role on the thermochemical reaction of the Ni-rich cathode.
Investigation on improving soldering reliability of large-scale LCCC devices with high-lead solder ball materials
Authors: Li Saipeng , Jiang Qinglei , Xia Haiyang 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Leadless Ceramic Chip Carrier (LCCC) is commonly used in high-density electronic packaging PCB boards. Due to the different thermal expansion of materials, the solder joints of LCCC devices are prone to stress and cracking after assembly, which leads to the failure of LCCC devices’ electrical performance. In this paper, the advantages and disadvantages of four solutions were analysed, and comprehensively considered the use of ball planting to alleviate thermal mismatch stress. After experimental verification, the thermal mismatch between the LCCC devices and PCB results in a lifespan of less than 200 cycles for direct assembly of the LCCC devices. Planting balls at the bottom of LCCC devices and soldering can effectively increase the lifespan of solder joints and improve product reliability. By analysing the SMT process, the bottom high-lead ball placement of LCCC devices was implemented, and environmental testing was conducted using temperature shock testing to demonstrate that bottom ball placement can extend solder joint life and improve reliability. This study provides a reliable soldering method for large-scale LCCC devices and provides a basis for improving LCCC reliability.

Published: August 2024

Abstract
The issue of noise control for electric vehicles has gradually become prominent, and gear whine noise, as a key factor, is crucial for improving the overall performance and quality of vehicles. This paper discusses the transmission error, a key parameter leading to gear whine, and analyzes the influence of load and gear micro modification on the distribution of transmission error, to achieve comparison and optimization of different axle plans. In addition, by statistical analysis of the distribution of manufacturing errors, it is concluded that they accord with a normal distribution. Then, the weighted transmission error is obtained considering error probability distribution, which provides a new approach for evaluating the sensitivity of gear whine noise to manufacturing errors, in order to solve the issue of noise consistency in large-scale production.

Published: August 2024

Abstract
Condition monitoring is the process of predicting faults in machine through the measurement and analysis of pre-identified parameters. This paper aims to present the features and process of development of a real time condition monitoring system installed at Panauti Hydropower station. In total, seven different sensors including Pressure, Temperature, Guide Vane Position and Tri-axial Vibration sensor were installed at the power plant. The locations of the pressure sensors are at the inlet of the turbine and the outlet of the draft tube. Tri-axial vibration sensor was installed at the turbine shaft to capture the turbine vibrations at different operating conditions. The temperature sensors provide the temperature data from the bearings and housing of a generator. The sensors were connected to the NI-DAQ (data acquisition system) hardware including current measuring module and sound and vibration module integrated with the LabVIEW program. The data acquisition system is capable of recording the pressure pulsations at the outlet of draft tube. The monitoring system processes the data from sensors and uploads the relevant information to the Kathmandu University’s central server. A remote monitoring program in LabVIEW has been developed which uses an Application Programming Interface (API) to retrieve the information from the central server in the real time, enabling the monitoring of the power plant from any location.

Abstract
A remote plasma, also referred to as a plasma plume (diffuse or filamentary), is normally formed downstream of an atmospheric pressure plasma jet. In this study, a diffuse plume is formed by increasing the bias voltage (U
b) applied to the downstream electrode of an argon plasma jet excited by a negatively pulsed voltage. The results indicate that the plume is filamentary when U
b is low, which transits to the diffuse plume with increasing U
b. The discharge initiated at the rising edge of the pulsed voltage is attributed to the diffuse plume, while that at the falling edge contributes to the filament in the plume. For the diffuse plume, the discharge intensity decreases with the increasing oxygen content (C
o). Fast photography reveals that the diffuse plume results from a negative streamer, which has a dark region near the nozzle with C
o = 0%. However, the dark region is absent with C
o = 0.5%. From the optical emission spectrum, the electron density, electron excitation temperature, gas temperature, and oxygen atom concentration are investigated.

Published: August 2024

AbstractA third of children in the UK are growing up and living in poverty. Post COVID-19 pandemic, this figure is rising due to a cost of living crisis. Investment that focuses on the critical window of the first few years of life is likely to provide the most efficient use of public resources, yielding returns over and above other forms of financial investment and investment at other points of the life-course. This chapter explores the economic case for investment in the early years and childhood, helping to ensure that children are as healthy as possible and well nourished, receive high-quality early-learning opportunities, and are nurtured and protected from harm. This chapter focuses on topics such as adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), maternal mental health, growing up in poverty, housing, preschool experience, early years vaccinations, dental health, and free school meals. This chapter concludes with curiosity questions for the reader to consider.

Published: August 2024

Abstract
Chapter 4 focuses on the well-being and well-becoming of adolescents and young adults. The transition from adolescence to young adulthood involves biological and psychological development and maturation. This chapter explores the following domains of adolescent well-being: good health and optimum nutrition; connectedness, positive values, and contribution to society; safety and a supportive environment; learning, competence, education, skills, and employability; and agency and resilience. This chapter presents systematic review evidence and cost-effectiveness evidence where relevant, for example, relating to school-based physical activity interventions and mental health support interventions. Promoting healthy behaviour during this life-course stage can establish a pattern of healthy lifestyle behaviours that individuals carry into adulthood. This chapter also considers the costs of late intervention in children and young people. The chapter concludes with curiosity questions for the reader to consider.
China: Legal Reform and Legal Divergence
Authors: Bui Ngoc Son 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
This chapter explores legislative reform, administrative reform, judicial reform, and reform of the legal profession in China since the country introduced the ‘Reform and Opening-up’ policy in 1978. It is argued that Chinese legal reform is a top-down process of the party-state. China has carried out comprehensive legal reform, resulting in the creation of a sophisticated legal system. Chinese legal reform is the political elite’s exceptional project to create a distinctive Chinese socialist legal model divergent from liberal legal models. Chinese legal exceptionalism stems from the achievements of legal and economic development, and China’s rise as a global power.
Vietnam: Legal Reform and Legal Convergence
Authors: Bui Ngoc Son 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
This chapter explores legislative reform, administrative reform, judicial reform, and reform of the legal profession in Vietnam since the country launched the economic reform policy known as Renovation in 1986. Initiated and led by the Communist Party of Vietnam, Vietnam has undertaken comprehensive legal reform, leading to the creation of a highly sophisticated legal system. In contrast to Chinese legal exceptionalism, the law reform project in Vietnam indicates the political elites’ universal intention to align the Vietnamese legal system with global legal standards. Vietnamese legal universalism is shaped by the country’s international integration and the international movement of law and development.
Stage Pedants and Magisterial Nonsense
Authors: Zucker Adam 
Published: August 2024

AbstractThis chapter extends the ideas of Chapter 2 to reconsider the opportunities for communal understanding generated by Tudor and Stuart ‘pedant’ plays, including Shakespeare’s Love’s Labour’s Lost and Thomas Heywood’s How a Man May Choose a Good Wife from a Bad. The discussion returns to the problem of nonsensical language, here in the form of garbled Latin that appears in the early printings of both these plays, and in the term ‘honorificabilitudinitatibus,’ the Tudor period’s favorite ludicrous Latinate construction. In addition to anatomizing the ways the pedant figure embodies the comic, hopeful uselessness of scholarly labor, this chapter charts out early modern drama’s interest in noisy forms of unexpected, socially disruptive competency that are often occluded by unthinking acceptance of the codes of learnedness and semantic rigor. It concludes with a story about the author’s students learning unexpected lessons in Shakespearean improvisation.
Simon de Montfort and His Support
Authors: Coss Peter 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
This chapter begins with the established and current treatment of Simon de Montfort, centring on the idea of enigma, and moves to a reassessment. Central to this is the concept of charisma, which is explored in some depth, and that of iconic masculinity. The chapter then turns to the support accorded Montfort, beginning with the clergy, monastic and lay. It deals with clerical complaints against the crown, as well as the role of Montfortian bishops. Support within the towns is then highlighted, including the role of London politics. The eclectic nature of the support for Montfort is stressed. He is identified as a populist leader, exploiting national feeling and xenophobia, and as a master of propaganda. The chapter concludes with the Battle of Evesham and Montfort’s martyrdom.

Published: August 2024

Abstract
Preclinical data suggest that type I interferon (IFN) responsiveness is essential for the antitumor effects of radiotherapy (RT). However, its clinical value remains unclear. This study aimed to explore this from a clinical perspective. In cohort 1, data from 152 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients who received RT were analyzed. Blood samples were taken 1 day before and 2 weeks after RT. RT was found to increase serum levels of IFN-β (a subtype of IFN-I) in HCC patients (3.42 ± 1.57 to 5.51 ± 2.11 pg/ml, P &lt; 0.01), particularly in those with favorable responses. Higher post-RT serum IFN-β levels (≥4.77 pg/ml) were associated with better progression-free survival (HR = 0.58, P &lt; 0.01). Cohort 2 included 46 HCC patients, including 23 who underwent preoperative RT and 23 matched control HCC who received surgical resection without RT. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples were obtained. Neoadjuvant RT significantly increased IFN-β expression in tumor tissues compared to direct surgery (8.13% ± 5.19% to 15.10% ± 5.89%, P &lt; 0.01). Higher post-RT IFN-β (&gt;median) indicated better disease-free survival (P = 0.049). Additionally, increased CD11c+MHCII+CD141+ antigen-presenting cell subsets and CD103+CD39+CD8+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes were found in the higher IFN-β group (P = 0.02, P = 0.03), which may contribute to the favorable prognosis in higher IFN-β group. Collectively, these findings suggest that IFN-β response activated by radiation may serve as a prognostic biomarker for HCC patients undergoing RT.
Partisan Influences in Dutch Politics
Authors: Laméris Maite D , Grohmann Tobias 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
We investigate whether and how partisan politics played a role in the Netherlands. To do so, we review existing literature and prepare descriptive statistics from recent datasets. We focus on two related questions: (i) Are there effects of partisan politics in the Netherlands in the past 60 years? (ii) Do developments in party and voter behavior influence the relevance of partisan influences for Dutch governance? As we find that there is only limited existing research on partisan politics in the Dutch context, we empirically explore the relationship between government ideology and typical, country-level partisan outcome variables. We find mixed evidence for partisan policymaking in the Netherlands. Some findings are in line with partisan theory, some are counter-indicative. Exploring the role of party and voter movements, we document a shifting political landscape in which the potential for traditional partisan influences has become smaller.
Artificial Intelligence- and Physician-Interpreted Stool Image Characteristics Correlate With C-Reactive Protein Among Inpatients With Acute Severe Ulcerative Colitis: A Pilot Study

Published: August 2024

Abstract

Background
Stool characteristics are used as a measure of ulcerative colitis (UC) disease activity, but they have not been validated against objective inflammation. We aimed to determine whether stool characteristics measured by trained artificial intelligence (AI) and physicians correlate with inflammation in UC.

Methods
Patients hospitalized with acute severe UC (ASUC) were asked to capture images of all bowel movements using a smartphone application (Dieta®). Validated AI was used to measure five stool characteristics including the Bristol stool scale. Additionally, four physicians scored each image for blood amount, mucus amount, and whether stool was in a toilet or commode. AI measurements and mean physician scores were rank-normalized and correlated with rank-normalized CRP values using mixed linear regression models. Mann–Whitney tests were used to compare median CRP values of images with and without mucus and with and without blood.

Results
We analyzed 151 stool images collected from 5 patients admitted with ASUC (mean age 42 years, 40% male). Overall, Bristol stool scale and fragmentation positively correlated with CRP, while stool consistency negatively correlated with CRP. The median CRP of images with mucus was higher than that of images without mucus.

Conclusions
Smartphone application AI measurements of Bristol stool scale, stool consistency, and stool fragmentation significantly correlate with CRP values in hospitalized patients with ASUC. Additionally, median CRPs are higher when mucus is seen. Further training of smartphone-based AI algorithms to validate the association of stool characteristics with objective inflammation may yield a novel, noninvasive tool for UC disease monitoring.
