AbstractPerovskite solar cells have become promising candidates for thin‐film photovoltaics (PV), but many record cells suffer from losses in current (≈3–4 mA cm−2). This is due to the choice of superstrate configurations (i.e., glass‐side illumination) and thin absorber layers, typically on the order of ≈500 nm. Illumination through a top transparent conductive oxide electrode (substrate configuration) using LiF and Al2Ox as anti‐reflective coatings leads to reflectance losses below 1% is demonstrated. When combined with 1 µm thick absorber layers, substrate configurated bifacial devices have power conversion efficiencies >20%, with minimized reflection losses approaching 98% of their detailed‐balance limits and higher Jsc than their monofacial counterparts. Further analysis is conducted to show there is still a significant fraction of current lost due to poor charge‐carrier extraction (e.g., resistive or low mobility contacts). This is studied by a direct comparison of photoluminescence at short‐circuit versus open‐circuit estimating a 4.5% loss in charge‐carrier collection.

AbstractOsteoarthritis has been regarded as a complex and serious degenerative disease. Attempts in this area are focused on improving the curative effect of stem cell‐based therapies. In this work, we present a novel inverse opal microcarriers‐based cytokines delivery system to induce autologous stem cell homing for osteoarthritis treatment. Considering their important role in stem cell recruitment and chondrogenic differentiation respectively, platelet‐derived growth factor BB (PDGF‐BB) and transforming growth factor β3 (TGF‐β3) are loaded into inverse opal microcarriers as model cytokines. Since cytokine release induces the corresponding variations in characteristic reflection spectra and structural colors, the inverse opal microcarriers possess the optical self‐reporting capacity to monitor the release process. In vitro cell experiments reveal that inverse opal microcarriers could successfully recruit the gathering of mesenchymal stem cells through the release of loaded cytokines. Based on these features, we have demonstrated the enhanced therapeutic effect of PDGF‐BB and TGF‐β3 loaded inverse opal microcarriers in the treatment of rat osteoarthritis models. These results indicate that the multifunctional inverse opal microcarriers‐based cytokines delivery system would find broad prospects in osteoarthritis treatment and other biomedical fields.
Toward decolonial community psychologies from Abya Yala
Authors: Ciófalo Nuria , Ortiz‐Torres Blanca 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThe epistemologies generated from colonized spaces such as Latin America and the Caribbean have been excluded from the dominant Euro‐ and US‐centric discourses of community psychology. Modern science is compartmentalized into disciplines forming silos and boundaries among them. Historically, psychology has been authored by European or North American White men, claiming superior expertise as detached researchers who study, analyze, interpret, and represent the inferior objects of study. Therefore, we should ask: what type of knowledges does psychology generate, with whom, and for what? Our praxis constitutes a political act which should question and challenge coloniality. In Latin America and the Caribbean, we became increasingly aware of the importance of generating knowledges about the communal (lo común) based on the experiences of Indigenous people in the Americas. Epistemologies from Abya Yala delink from the hegemonic, US‐Eurocentric paradigms and address the structural violence of the neoliberal system. To co‐create an inclusive and pluriversal discipline of psychology, we need to disrupt the linguistic colonization executed by the imposition of the English language legitimized as universal. We ought to convey the many examples of epistemologies and praxes from Abya Yala that contribute to the co‐construction of decolonial psychologies emerging from their own localities and cultures. We propose counterepistemologies that disrupt a monocultural, monolingustic, universal, and hegemonic epistemology. This paper reviews selected decolonial contributions from Abya Yala and sketches pathways toward the making of decolonial community psychologies anchored in pluriversal ecologies of knowledges.

AbstractAimFibCare® is a novel point‐of‐care testing device enabling prompt evaluation of fibrinogen levels. This study aimed to investigate the accuracy of FibCare® at a tertiary emergency department.MethodsBlood specimens obtained at a tertiary emergency medical center between October 1, 2021, and April 30, 2023, were evaluated. The correlation between the fibrinogen levels assessed via FibCare® and those via the Clauss method was evaluated using the Spearman's test. The discrepancy between the two measurement methods was assessed according to fibrinogen level and diagnosis.ResultsA total of 177 specimens from 147 patients were eligible for the analysis. The median age of the patients was 49 years, and 109 (61.6%) were men. The two measurements had statistically significant but moderate correlation (p < 0.001, ρ = 0.76). FibCare® missed 14 out of 35 cases from patients with hypofibrinogenemia (fibrinogen ≤150 mg/dL assessed by the Clauss method). The discrepancy between the two measurements was significantly greater in specimens with lower fibrinogen levels and those obtained from patients following trauma.ConclusionsFibCare®, a novel point‐of‐care testing device, can be compatible with the Clauss method. However, clinicians should be aware of the risk that FibCare® may underestimate fibrinogen reduction, especially in severe cases and trauma cases.

AbstractAimFemoral fractures are one of the most debilitating injuries presenting to the emergency departments (EDs). The pain caused by these fractures is typically managed with opioids and adjunctive regional analgesia. These approaches are often associated with adverse side effects. Thus, appropriate alternative methods should be thoroughly investigated. To evaluate ultrasound‐guided femoral nerve block (FNB) with ultrasound‐guided fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) in femoral fractures, to determine which provides better analgesia and less opioid requirement.MethodsThis study was a randomized clinical trial performed on adult patients presenting to the ED within 3 h of isolated femoral fracture with initial numerical pain rating scale (NRS‐0) score of more than 5. The patients were randomized to receive FNB or FICB. The outcomes were block success rates, pain at 20 (NRS‐20) and 60 (NRS‐60) min after the end of the procedures, as well as the number and total dose of fentanyl administration during ED stay.ResultsEighty‐seven patients were recruited (40 FNB and 47 FICB). Success rates were 82.5% in FNB and 83.0% in FICB group, with no significant difference between the groups. NRS‐20, NRS‐60, the number of patients who received supplemental fentanyl, and the total dose of administered fentanyl were significantly lower following FNB. However, the length of the procedure was significantly lower in the FICB group.ConclusionBoth FNB and FICB are effective in pain reduction for fractures of femur, but FNB provides more pain relief and less need for supplemental fentanyl.
Inversion Symmetry Breaking in the Probability Density by Surface‐Bulk Hybridization in Topological Insulators
Authors: Castaño‐Yepes Jorge David , Muñoz Enrique 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThe probability density distribution is analyzed in a topological insulator (TI) slab of finite thickness, where the bulk and surface states are allowed to hybridize. By using an effective continuum Hamiltonian approach as a theoretical framework, the wave functions are analytically obtained for each state near the ‐point. The results reveal that, under particular combinations of the hybridized bulk and surface states, the spatial symmetry of the electronic probability density with respect to the center of the slab can be spontaneously broken. This symmetry breaking arises as a combination of the parity of the solutions, their spin projection, and the material constants.
Scattering of Bright Solitons Due to Defects in Binary Bose‐Einstein Condensates with Nonlinear Optical Lattices
Authors: Sekh Golam Ali 
Published: March 2024

AbstractSpatially overlapped coupled matter‐wave bright solitons are considered in binary Bose‐Einstein condensates with nonlinear optical lattices(NOLs) and study the properties of scattering patterns due to a localized defect. It is shown that spatially overlapped solitons become separated and exhibit different scattering patterns with the variation of inter‐species interaction. The NOL interplays with the defect and tends to influence the scattering properties. However, the effect of NOL varies with strength of inter‐component interaction. It is found that, if this interaction is weak then the scattering center gets shifted outside the defect. However, for a stronger inter‐component interaction, the scattering takes place from the defect and leads to different scattering patterns.

AbstractMagnesium batteries attract interest as alternative energy‐storage devices because of elemental abundance and potential for high energy density. Development is limited by the absence of suitable cathodes, associated with poor diffusion kinetics resulting from strong interactions between Mg2+ and the host structure. V2PS10 is reported as a positive electrode material for rechargeable magnesium batteries. Cyclable capacity of 100 mAh g−1 is achieved with fast Mg2+ diffusion of 7.2
10−11–4
10−14 cm2 s−1. The fast insertion mechanism results from combined cationic redox on the V site and anionic redox on the (S2)2− site; enabled by reversible cleavage of S−S bonds, identified by X‐ray photoelectron and X‐ray absorption spectroscopy. Detailed structural characterisation with maximum entropy method analysis, supported by density functional theory and projected density of states analysis, reveals that the sulphur species involved in anion redox are not connected to the transition metal centres, spatially separating the two redox processes. This facilitates fast and reversible Mg insertion in which the nature of the redox process depends on the cation insertion site, creating a synergy between the occupancy of specific Mg sites and the location of the electrons transferred.

AbstractThis work elucidates the control of integrating a nonminimum phase system via a series cascade scheme with fractional‐order P.I. (Proportional–Integral) plus D (Derivative) controller. The traditional Internal Model Control (IMC) is adopted for inner loop controller design. The feedback D controller is synthesized with the outer loop process model, showing the proposed work's universality. The outer loop controller is suggested in the IMC framework after the accountability of fractional‐filter and inverse response compensator. This combination is revealed to enhance performance without compromising robustness. The Riemann sheet principle is explored to compute the stability of the suggested controller. The sensitivity analysis has asserted the robustness. More importantly, the optimal value of controller settings is achieved via the Teaching Learning Based Optimization (TLBO) algorithm. This TLBO algorithm uses an objective function that minimizes Integral Square Error. Two illustrative problems are utilized to examine the recommended control structure's virtue.

Published: March 2024

AbstractIn Greece, 5G New Radio (NR) has started launching in the end of 2020, at the 3400–3800 MHz (FR1) frequency band. Focusing on 117 Base Stations (BSs) which were already equipped with 5G NR antennas, in situ broadband and frequency selective measurements have been conducted at minimum three points of interest, at adjacent rooftops (when accessible). The points have been selected according to the sweeping method and the electric field strength (E) value has been stored on the selected worst‐case scenario point. Spectrum analysis was conducted in the FR1, for the allocated spectrum that corresponds to each mobile communication provider, in order to get preliminary results concerning the contribution of the 5G NR emissions in the general public exposure levels. The vast majority of the in situ measurements has been conducted in urban environments from the beginning of 2021 until the mid of 2022, since in Greece 5G NR services launching started from the big cities. Additionally, a 5G NR BS, installed in a suburban environment (in the city of Kalamata) is thoroughly investigated during its pilot and regular operation, based on broadband and frequency selective measurements data derived by the National Observatory of Electromagnetic Fields (NOEF) monitoring sensor network. In situ measurement data within the 5G NR frequency range are verified via the NOEF's output. The 5G NR contribution to the total E‐field levels is assessed in time, from pilot to regular operation of the BS. In all cases, compliance with the reference levels for general public exposure is affirmed.
Circular economy principles as a basis for a sustainability management theory: A systems thinking and moral imagination approach
Authors: De Angelis Roberta , Ianulardo Giancarlo 
Published: March 2024

AbstractTo enable corporations to bring about more responsible business practices, changes in the wider system within which businesses operate – including the mental models through which sustainability is understood in the management field – are necessary. Drawing on functioning principles in natural ecosystems – as embodied in circular economy thinking – this conceptual article proposes some constructs to inform the development of a sustainability management theory. We show that the potential for the circular economy to provide a sounder basis to sustainable management theory rests on its capacity to propose a socio‐eco‐systemic framework, which overcomes the separation between man and nature and is isomorphic to the conception proposed by the emerging complexity paradigm. Also, we show that, by imagining a new cognitive framework and evaluating the current linear model and the alternative circular model from a moral standpoint, the circular economy can be thought of as an exercise in moral imagination.

AbstractComputational thinking (CT) has been promoted worldwide by educational systems and is an essential skill for technological citizens. Various strategies have been planned and developed to help in introducing, improving, and delivering CT. One of the strategies is by creating and developing the supporting tools for CT learning. In this article, educational robotics (ER) is chosen as the focus tool to support CT learning. Each CT and ER has a massive field of study. There are various available reports determining the suitability of CT subject integrated with ER for students' learning. However, all students do not develop similar style of learning and thinking. There is difference in their personal traits. There is a lack of research that designed CT learning through ER specifically based on student's preferences. Besides, it resulted in a challenge to determine the suitability of CT and ER for different kind of preferences. Therefore, this study aimed to develop an adaptive learning (AL) framework for students to deliver learning of CT through ER. The framework consists of three submodels: domain model, student model, and adaptation model. One case study is defined, which is learning the introductory level of CT through ER (CTER). At the end of the study, it can be observed that the AL framework produced positive results in performance and perception for various student categories. It was noted that students utilizing the AL framework had superior understanding of CTER. Individually or collaboratively, all students who applied or did not apply the AL framework in studying the CTER introduction had positive learning outcomes.

AbstractBackgroundGuide catheter extensions (GCEs) increase support and facilitate equipment delivery, but aggressive instrumentation may be associated with a higher risk of complications.AimOur aim was to assess the impact of GCEs on procedural success and complications in patients submitted to chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).MethodsWe analyzed data from the multicenter LATAM CTO Registry. Procedural success was defined as <30% residual stenosis and TIMI 3 distal flow. Major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) was defined as the composite of all‐cause death, myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization, and stroke. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to compare outcomes with and without GCE use.ResultsFrom August 2010 to August 2021, 3049 patients were included. GCEs were used in 438 patients (14.5%). In unadjusted analysis, patients in the GCE group were older and had more comorbidities. The median J‐CTO score and its components were higher in the GCE group. After PSM, procedural success was higher with GCE use (87.7% vs. 80.5%, p = 0.007). The incidence of coronary perforation (odds ratio [OR]: 1.46, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.78–2.71, p = 0.230), bleeding (OR: 1.99, 95% CI: 0.41–2.41, p = 0.986), in‐hospital death (OR: 1.39, 95% CI: 0.54–3.62, p = 0.495) and MACCE (OR: 1.07, 95% CI: 0.52–2.19, p = 0.850) were similar in both groups.ConclusionIn a contemporary, multicenter cohort of patients undergoing CTO PCI, GCEs were used in older patients, with more comorbidities and complex anatomy. After PSM, GCE use was associated with higher procedural success, and similar incidence of adverse outcomes.

The article came under investigation following reports by multiple third parties who expressed concerns about the patient consent described, as well as concerns about the methodology and the inclusion of potentially stigmatizing content. Significantly, the author included potentially identifiable information about the patients and family which was not fully appreciated during peer review. Upon request, the author provided copies of consent forms for two of the individuals described. An investigation by the publisher found that the consent forms did not conform to the Journal's nor Wiley's guidelines. Additionally, the author did not provide a consent form for one research subject whose private details were disclosed. In summary, through an investigation by the publisher, it was determined that patient consent had not been properly obtained and that anonymity had not been properly maintained in the published article, which would risk the identification of the patients and necessitated withdrawal. The author disagrees with the withdrawal.
