Afroavrasya, Afrika ve Avrasya'yı tek bir kıta olarak tanımlayan terimdir. Jeopolitikada, Afrika-Avrasya'nın anakarası olarak tanımlanan terim, aslında eski dünya olarak adlandırdığımız kıtadır. Afroavrasya’nın Coğrafî yapısına baktığımızda, Afrika ve Avrasya, Süveyş Kanalı ile bölünmüş ve Avrasya, bu bölünme sonucunda Avrupa ve Asya olmak üzere iki kola ayrılmıştır. Bu ayrılma jeolojik bölünmeden ziyadesiyle kültürel bölünme ile olmuştur ayrıca Afroavrasya ülkeleri arasında gelişen diplomatik ilişkiler nihayetinde ekonomik, sosyal, siyasal etkileşime de sebebiyet vermiştir.
Avrupa, afrika ve avrasya ülkelerini, halklarını tarih sahnesinde yer alan önemsiz bir dekor ya da figürasyon olarak görmüştür. Avrupa da yetişmiş önemli düşünürler, bilim insanları kendisinden önce yaşayanlar gibi, insanlığın varoluş serüvenini keşfetmek istiyorlardı. Fakat bu istekte sadece Avrupa medeniyetleri yer almıştır ne Afrika ne Uzak doğu yer almamıştır. Avrupa merkezli ve tüm ulusların insanlığın Avrupa’nın yükselişine katkı sağlayıcı olarak yorumlamışlardır. Hegel, Afrika kıtası hakkında şu sözleri dile getirmiştir: “…Afrika dünyanın tarihsel bir parçası değil, olamazda… Afrika dünya tarihi içerisinde olsa olsa başlangıcında yer alacak önemsiz bir konumdadır...” Çünkü Hegel’e göre Tarih, tinin içinde gerçekleştiği süreçtir ve tinle aynı şeydir. Zira tinin faaliyetleri özünü yansıtır,çünkü kendisinin içinde olan şeyi yapar düşüncesini savunmuştur bu savunusuna göre afrika ve avrasya halklarının tinin de medeniyet kavramı yer almamaktadır.
Avrupa’ya baktığımızda sınırları hakkında net olmayan, çeşitli görüşlerin yer aldığı bir çizgi ile doğuda Ural Dağları'ndan başlayarak, batıda Atlas Okyanusu'na kadar uzanmaktadır. Zira coğrafi olarak Asya’nın bir uzantısı olduğu çok net bir şekilde görülmektedir. Asya’nın, batıya doğru uzanan küçük, küçücük bir bölgesinin adıdır Avrupa. Dünya haritasına baktığımızda dahi göze çarpan biçimi yoktur öyle ki dünya haritasında Avrupa’yı çizmeyi unutsanız dikkat edilmez oysa Afrika ya da Avrasya ‘yı çizmeseniz farkedilir. Nitekim coğrafyadan bağımsız olarak, fen ve sosyal bilimlerde geçmişten not almaya çalışan, Avrupa olmadan adım atamaz. Oysa unutulmamalıdır ki, bugünkü medeniyete ait paha biçilemez olan unsurların tamamı, Avrupa’da doğmamıştır sadece Avrupa’da yükselme fırsatı yakalamıştır.

Primary infertility due to retrograde ejaculation: Case series
Authors: Abdullahi HM  , Abdullahi M  
Published: October 2023

Infertility is a worldwide problem that causes emotional and psychological distress in both men and women. Male, female and combined male and female factors play a role. Global data shows that the percentage of infertility that is attributable to males ranged between 20 and 70%. It is caused by physiological, genetic, environmental, social factors as well as retrograde ejaculation.Two couples presented to our facility with primary infertility for 6 and 8 years respectively. The male partners had surgical interventions. First one had a bladder surgery on account of urinary retention while the other one had a road traffic accident and was operated in the pelvis prior to his marriage. Both of them had testicular biopsy prior to presentation, which revealed presence of sperm cells. They also observed a failure to ejaculate after intercourse and noticed a change in the color of their urine following the surgical intervention. Urinalysis revealed presence of sperm cells. They both had two cycles of Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) following which one of them conceived in the second cycle, and the other one had two failed IUI cycles, subsequently conceived via in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF and ET).Retrograde ejaculation is a cause of infertility and such cases are managed with assisted conception using Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) or Invitro fertilization and embryo transfer ( IVF+ET). Testicular biopsy should however be avoided in such patients. It should rather be performed for sperm harvesting and be used for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).
A Review of Contraceptive Prevalence Rates in Afghanistan
Authors: Masudi Mohammad , Alami Sayed Naeem 
Published: October 2023

Background and Objective: Family planning programs and the use of contraceptives are among the priorities of maternal and child health. Adequate information about the prevalence of family planning programs and contraceptive use in Afghanistan is not readily available. This review attempts to provide an appropriate perspective on the prevalence rates of contraceptive use based on existing data and suggests practical measures to improve the prevalence of contraceptive usage.
Research Method: In this review, data from Google Scholar, PubMed, the Ministry of Public Health website, the World Health Organization, and the National Family Planning Program were utilized. Seven articles published between 2001 and 2023 were selected and analyzed using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.
Findings: A narrative summary of the results of the selected articles is presented in this paper. According to studies conducted in the country, statistics on the prevalence of contraceptive use show significant differences in comparison to demographic structures. The lowest figure reported in these studies is 10.4%. The utilization of contraceptives is reported as follows: oral contraceptives 38.5%, condoms 30.3%, medroxyprogesterone 17.0%, intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUCD) 15.6%. Overall, the prevalence rate of contraceptive use in the entire country reaches 15.4%.
Conclusion: In Afghanistan, due to numerous barriers, the use of contraceptives and the gap between pregnancies have not been promoted. Conversely, according to the conservative beliefs of the illiterate segments of society, the use of contraceptives is considered contrary to their religious beliefs and even in conflict with divine instructions. Therefore, it is imperative for policymakers to develop comprehensive and inclusive programs in this regard and seek assistance from religious leaders to align the community with these programs. Ultimately, the entire society needs to be mobilized.
Hepatitis B in Afghanistan
Authors: Rahimi Ali , Shayan Nasar Ahmad 
Published: October 2023

Background and Objectives: Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) infection is one of the major public health challenges worldwide, affecting over 350 million people. The prevalence of this virus varies in different countries. Afghanistan, as a less developed country, has limited information about the epidemiological status of Hepatitis B. This study analyzes the prevalence and pattern of this disease in Afghanistan by reviewing existing sources to provide a better understanding of its situation and contribute to planning for Hepatitis B prevention and control in the country.
Research Methodology: This study conducted a review of articles related to the prevalence and risk factors of Hepatitis B between 2010 and 2023, obtained from databases such as Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar. Data from 9 articles were extracted and the results were reported in a narrative synthesis following the PRISMA guidelines.
Findings: This table provides a summary of the findings from 9 studies regarding the prevalence and risk factors of Hepatitis B in Afghanistan. According to these studies conducted between 2011 and 2022, the prevalence of Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in the general population varied between 1.9% to 6.3%. Additionally, the prevalence in injecting drug users and prisoners was reported to be 3.7%-6.5% and 4.4%, respectively. Major risk factors included contaminated injections, risky sexual behavior, and homosexuality.
Conclusion: Hidden HBV infection in HBsAg-negative individuals but HBV DNA positive poses a high risk for liver diseases and should be considered in epidemiological studies. Injecting drug users, sex workers, blood donors, and high-risk refugees require education and awareness regarding HBV prevention. Further studies are necessary to determine the precise prevalence of HBV, with a focus on prevention and control programs for injecting drug users and individuals engaging in risky sexual behaviors.

Published: October 2023

AbstractNeuromorphic computing offers the opportunity to curtail the huge energy demands of modern artificial intelligence (AI) applications by implementing computations into new, brain‐inspired computing architectures. However, the lack of fabrication processes able to integrate several computing units into monolithic systems and the need for new, hardware‐tailored training algorithms still limit the scope of application and performance of neuromorphic hardware. Recent advancements in the field of organic transistors present new opportunities for neuromorphic systems and smart sensing applications, thanks to their unique properties such as neuromorphic behavior, low‐voltage operation, and mixed ionic‐electronic conductivity. Organic neuromorphic transistors push the boundaries of energy efficient brain‐inspired hardware AI, facilitating decentralized on‐chip learning and serving as a foundation for the advancement of closed‐loop intelligent systems in the next generation. The biocompatibility and dual ionic‐electronic conductivity of organic materials introduce new prospects for biointegration and bioelectronics. Their ability to sense and regulate biosystems, as well as their neuro‐inspired functions can be combined with neuromorphic computing to create the next‐generation of bioelectronics. These systems will be able to seamlessly interact with biological systems and locally compute biosignals in a relevant matter.

AbstractBerries from the European Mistletoe (Viscum album) possess a sticky tissue called viscin that facilitates adhesion and germination onto host trees. Recent studies of viscin have demonstrated its adhesive capacity on a range of natural and synthetic surfaces including wood, skin, metals, and plastic. Yet, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, an investigation of the adhesive performance of mistletoe viscin is performed, demonstrating its hygroscopic nature and ability to self‐heal following adhesive failure. It is identified that adhesion originates from a water‐soluble adhesive component that can be extracted, isolated, and characterized independently. Lap shear mechanical testing indicates that the mistletoe adhesive extract (MAE) outperforms native viscin tissue, as well as gum arabic and arabinogalactan—common plant‐based adhesives. Furthermore, humidity uptake experiments reveal that MAE can reversibly absorb nearly 100% of its mass in water from the atmosphere. In‐depth spectroscopic and mass spectrometry investigations reveal a composition consisting primarily of an atypical arabinogalactan, with additional sugar alcohols. Finally, several proof‐of‐concept applications are demonstrated using MAE for hygro‐responsive reversible adhesion between various surfaces including skin, plastic, PDMS, and paper, revealing that MAE holds potential as a biorenewable and reusable adhesive for applications in cosmetics, packaging, and potentially, tissue engineering.

Published: October 2023

AbstractEncapsulation is a promising technology to enhance the pharmacokinetic properties of proteins and peptides, particularly addressing their short half‐life. Despite its potential, this method has limitations, such as low encapsulation efficiency, a minimal mass fraction of therapeutic agents, and the potential loss of biological activity. In this study, the pivotal role of amphiphilic polymers in achieving efficient protein and peptide encapsulation is delved into. It is found that these polymers not only improve the solvation of cargo nanoparticles but also form a robust 3D polymer layer at the oil/water interface. This interfacial polymer barrier effectively minimizes the escape of proteins and peptides during the encapsulation process, achieving an impressive encapsulation efficiency of up to 99.8% for agents. Remarkably, the mass fraction of these therapeutic agents in the resultant microparticles exceed 59.9 wt.%. The microparticles prolonged payload release for 30 days both in vitro and in vivo, leading to heightened therapeutic efficacy in type 2 diabetic rats. Furthermore, the required amount of polymer for administration is reduced by a factor of 47.5, substantially mitigating inflammatory response at the injection site. In conclusion, the findings highlight the transformative potential of using interfacial polymer accumulation to encapsulate proteins and peptides.

Published: October 2023

AbstractMicrowave absorption materials (MAMs) are originally developed for military purposes, but have since evolved into versatile materials with promising applications in modern technologies, including household use. Despite significant progress in bench‐side research over the past decade, MAMs remain limited in their scope and have yet to be widely adopted. This review explores the history of MAMs from first‐generation coatings to second‐generation functional absorbers, identifies bottlenecks hindering their maturation. It also presents potential solutions such as exploring broader spatial scales, advanced characterization, introducing liquid media, utilizing novel toolbox (machine learning, ML), and proximity of lab to end‐user. Additionally, it meticulously presents compelling applications of MAMs in medicine, mechanics, energy, optics, and sensing, which go beyond absorption efficiency, along with their current development status and prospects. This interdisciplinary research direction differs from previous research which primarily focused on meeting traditional requirements (i.e., thin, lightweight, wide, and strong), and can be defined as the next generation of smart absorbers. Ultimately, the effective utilization of ubiquitous electromagnetic (EM) waves, aided by third‐generation MAMs, should be better aligned with future expectations.

Published: October 2023

AbstractHeat management is crucial for state‐of‐the‐art applications such as passive radiative cooling, thermally adjustable wearables, and camouflage systems. Their adaptive versions, to cater to varied requirements, lean on the potential of adaptive metamaterials. Existing efforts, however, feature with highly anisotropic parameters, narrow working‐temperature ranges, and the need for manual intervention, which remain long‐term and tricky obstacles for the most advanced self‐adaptive metamaterials. To surmount these barriers, heat‐enhanced thermal diffusion metamaterials powered by deep learning is introduced. Such active metamaterials can automatically sense ambient temperatures and swiftly, as well as continuously, adjust their thermal functions with a high degree of tunability. They maintain robust thermal performance even when external thermal fields change direction, and both simulations and experiments demonstrate exceptional results. Furthermore, two metadevices with on‐demand adaptability, performing distinctive features with isotropic materials, wide working temperatures, and spontaneous response are designed. This work offers a framework for the design of intelligent thermal diffusion metamaterials and can be expanded to other diffusion fields, adapting to increasingly complex and dynamic environments.

AbstractLarge dark current at room temperature has long been the major bottleneck that impedes the development of high‐performance infrared photodetectors toward miniaturization and integration. Although infrared photodetectors based on layered 2D narrow bandgap semiconductors have shown admirable advantages compared with those based on conventional compounds, which typically suffer from the expensive cryogenic operation, it is still urgent to develop a simple but effective strategy to further reduce the dark current. Herein, a tellurium (Te)‐based infrared photodetector is reported with specifically designed asymmetric electrical contact area. The deliberately introduced asymmetric electrical contact raises the electric field intensity difference in the Te channel near the drain and the source electrodes, resulting in the spontaneous asymmetric carrier diffusion under global infrared light illumination under zero bias. Specifically, the Te‐based photodetector presents promising detector performance at room temperature including a low dark current of ≈1 nA, an ultrahigh photocurrent/dark current ratio of 1.57 × 104, a high specific detectivity (D*) of 3.24 × 109 Jones, and a relatively fast response speed of ≈720 µs at zero bias. The results prove that the simple design of asymmetric electrical contact areas can provide a promising solution to high‐performance 2D semiconductor‐based infrared photodetectors working at room temperature.

Published: October 2023

AbstractVanadium dioxide (VO2) has attracted widespread attention due to its extraordinary thermochromic properties. Visually transparent VO2 films hold great promise for applying in smart windows, smart radiative coolers, solar cells, and microwave absorbing windows. However, it remains a huge challenge to simultaneously achieve ultra‐high luminous transmittance (Tlum) and excellent thermochromic performance due to their contradictory relationship. Here, a fully discrete VO2 particulate (FDVP) film is developed. It shows an ultra‐high Tlum of 92.7% due to the reflectance being significantly reduced. Below the phase transition temperature (Tc, 69.1 °C), it is highly transparent to near‐infrared (NIR) light, while above Tc, it blocks NIR light through the strong localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect, resulting in an excellent solar energy modulation (ΔTsol) of 10.5% for smart windows. In addition, a 3.5 at.%W‐doped FDVP film exhibits a desired Tc of 25.8 °C, an extremely narrow hysteresis width (ΔT) of 4.6 °C, and good optical properties (Tlum = 92.0%, ΔTsol = 8.2%). The performance represents a new milestone for thermochromic VO2 films. This work will shed light on the structural design for high‐performance VO2 films.
An Enhanced Sampling Approach for Computing the Free Energy of Solid Surface and Solid–Liquid Interface
Authors: Nguyen Cao Thang , Ho Duc Tam , Kim Sung Youb 
Published: October 2023

AbstractFree energies of a solid surface and a solid–liquid interface play significant roles in thermodynamics. Due to the limited availability of experimental data, computational methods offer effective alternatives for calculating these properties. This study adopts advanced frameworks of the logarithmic mean force dynamics method to present an enhanced sampling approach for the calculation of the free energy at different temperatures. To achieve this, the free energy profile is constructed along with a pre‐established collective variable within the melting transition and cleavage processes. The values of the solid surface and solid–liquid interface free energies are then extrapolated from the excess free energy related to the formation and persistence of the solid surface or the solid–liquid interface. Furthermore, this methodology is employed to calculate the temperature dependence of the free energy measurements for the (100) and (110) surfaces and interfaces of Cu. It is shown that this methodology is robust and readily applicable in contemporary models of atomic interactions and various systems.
