Abstract
Passive daytime radiative cooling that could provide sub-ambient cooling emerges as a promising technology to reduce household energy consumption. Nonetheless, prevailing studies are predominantly focused on surface cooling, often overlooking its adaptability to enclosed spaces with active cooling technologies. Here we present a multilayer radiative cooling film (J-MRC) with Janus optical properties in the mid-infrared region, consisting of the nanoporous polyethylene films, the polyethylene oxide film, and silver nanowires. The top side of the J-MRC functions as a conventional radiative cooling material to supply sub-ambient surface cooling, while the bottom side with low mid-infrared emissivity transfers limited heat via thermal radiation to the low-temperature enclosures. Our experiments validate that the J-MRC possesses an enhanced space cooling performance in comparison to the conventional radiative cooling film. This work provides a valuable design concept for radiative cooling materials, thereby expanding their practical scenarios and contributing to reduce the carbon emission.

Published: January 2024

Abstract
Design strategies for improving terahertz (THz) quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) in the 5–6 THz range are investigated numerically and experimentally, with the goal of overcoming the degradation in performance that occurs as the laser frequency approaches the Reststrahlen band. Two designs aimed at 5.4 THz were selected: one optimized for lower power dissipation and one optimized for better temperature performance. The active regions exhibited broadband gain, with the strongest modes lasing in the 5.3–5.6 THz range, but with other various modes observed ranging from 4.76 to 6.03 THz. Pulsed and continuous-wave (cw) operation is observed up to temperatures of 117 K and 68 K, respectively. In cw mode, the ridge laser has modes up to 5.71 THz – the highest reported frequency for a THz QCL in cw mode. The waveguide loss associated with the doped contact layers and metallization is identified as a critical limitation to performance above 5 THz.

Published: January 2024

Abstract
The proliferation of electronic devices and the widespread adoption of microwave-based technologies have resulted in a notable rise in electromagnetic radiation pollution. In present work, a novel flexible lightweight polyarylene ether nitrile (PEN)-based composite for efficient electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding was prepared by introducing dual-loss hybrid material (PKMWCNT@Fe3O4) into PEN via non-solvent induce phase separation method and assembling it layer-by-layer with carbon fiber (CF) fabric. The porous morphology of the PEN layer, the electrical conductivity of the CF fabric, and the dual-loss property of the filler enable the material to reflect and absorb electromagnetic waves multiple times, resulting in superior electromagnetic shielding performance. With the addition of PKMWCNT@Fe3O4 at a mass fraction of 50%, the EMI SE
T
and specific shielding effectiveness SSE/t can reach up to 47.08 dB and 617 dB cm2/g, respectively, indicating absorption dominated shielding mechanism. Furthermore, the material exhibits a lightweight nature with a density of 0.55 g/cm3, and excellent mechanical properties, including a tensile strength of 43.98 MPa and elongation at break of 43.32%. This work presents a new approach to prepare high-performance composites that are both lightweight and resistant to secondary contamination by electromagnetic waves.

Published: January 2024

OBJECTIVES
Vaccination reduces the risk of acute coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in children, but it is less clear whether it protects against long COVID. We estimated vaccine effectiveness (VE) against long COVID in children aged 5 to 17 years.

METHODS
This retrospective cohort study used data from 17 health systems in the RECOVER PCORnet electronic health record program for visits after vaccine availability. We examined both probable (symptom-based) and diagnosed long COVID after vaccination.

RESULTS
The vaccination rate was 67% in the cohort of 1 037 936 children. The incidence of probable long COVID was 4.5% among patients with COVID-19, whereas diagnosed long COVID was 0.8%. Adjusted vaccine effectiveness within 12 months was 35.4% (95 CI 24.5–44.7) against probable long COVID and 41.7% (15.0–60.0) against diagnosed long COVID. VE was higher for adolescents (50.3% [36.6–61.0]) than children aged 5 to 11 (23.8% [4.9–39.0]). VE was higher at 6 months (61.4% [51.0–69.6]) but decreased to 10.6% (−26.8% to 37.0%) at 18-months.

CONCLUSIONS
This large retrospective study shows moderate protective effect of severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 vaccination against long COVID. The effect is stronger in adolescents, who have higher risk of long COVID, and wanes over time. Understanding VE mechanism against long COVID requires more study, including electronic health record sources and prospective data.
Compilation or Redaction in the Pentateuch: Reassessing Numbers 25
Authors: Seri-Levi Ariel 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Although Num 25 is clearly a composite text, the manner of its compilation is still debated. This article presents a new analysis of the chapter as a test case for a fundamental issue in contemporary pentateuchal studies: whether the Pentateuch represents mainly a compilation of independent sources or a series of redactional strata. The analysis is focused on internal considerations of Num 25, suspending any theory of the formation of the Pentateuch, the nature of the Priestly writings, or the status of the book of Numbers. I conclude that Num 25 is more likely to consist of three independent narratives than several layers placed one on top of the other, and suggest several methodological considerations that can be helpful in analyzing other texts in the Pentateuch.
Saul’s Israel, the “Hebrews,” and Identity Politics in 1 Samuel 13–14
Authors: Jang Ki-Eun 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
This article offers a critical reassessment of the Bible’s עברים (ʿibrîm) and the problems of identification associated with the label with a focus on the two anomalous cases in 1 Sam 13–14 that deviate from an overarching pattern of the gentilic term’s etic usage. Building on the literary-historical and philological analysis of 1 Sam 13:3 and 14:2, I delineate the limits of a previous interpretive spectrum and argue that the identity of the “Hebrews” in these two passages is characterized by their collective capability of choosing and transferring political allegiance. This mobile aspect of negotiating political identity that the label “Hebrew” carries is further compared with the usage of the Akkadian term ʿibrum from Mari and the depiction of David’s loyalty to the Philistines and the designation of Hebrews in 1 Sam 29:3. By offering an alternative translation of the “Hebrew(s),” I challenge a conventional categorical paradigm associated with the interpretation of gentilics in biblical scholarship.
El concepto científico de humedal en la creación del sitio Ramsar delta del Paraná, Argentina
Authors: Levrand Norma-Elizabeth 
Published: January 2024

En 2016, un sector del delta del Paraná fue registrado en los términos de la Convención Relativa a los Humedales de Importancia Internacional, especialmente como Hábitat de Aves Acuáticas (UNESCO 1971). Esa categorización requirió la movilización del concepto de humedal dentro de la estructura estatal. El propósito de este trabajo es indagar sobre el contexto de producción y significado del concepto científico de humedal, esencial para caracterizar y enmarcar el sitio en dicha Convención. Mediante una metodología cualitativa, basada en el análisis documental y en entrevistas semiestructuradas a actores clave (funcionarios y expertos), se describe el desarrollo epistémico del concepto en el mundo y se caracterizan los procesos de admisión y adaptación en Argentina, así como su vinculación con la designación del sitio delta del Paraná. Como resultado, se observa que en el ámbito científico se estabiliza la noción de humedal, traducida en una definición vigente en un tratado internacional y en una definición consensuada y adaptada a la situación de los humedales en Argentina. La acción de los expertos y la identificación del delta del Paraná como humedal promovió la inscripción del sitio en la lista establecida por la Convención de Ramsar.

To determine the attitude and awareness among parents of different educational level, socioeconomic status and geographic background with regard to avulsed permanent tooth and its management. 400 parents of children, aged between 6-12 years, in the rural and urban areas of Kozhikode District were randomly selected. The participant’s awareness regarding the avulsed permanent tooth and its management was evaluated based on questionnaire. The questionnaire was essentially be comprised of two parts: First part included the general demographic data and the second part contained closed questions which assessed the knowledge, attitude and previous experience of the participants toward the first-aid management of avulsed permanent tooth. Statistical significance of factors influencing good awareness of groups were calculated using Pearson Chi-Square test.Regardless of educational background, socio-economic status and geographical background, parental awareness regarding the first aid measures to be taken in the case of dental avulsion was inadequate. But at the same time they exhibited positive attitude toward receiving more informations on emergency management of avulsed permanent tooth.

A rare anatomical variation of the circle of Willis in a patient with an ischemic stroke
Authors: Kocbek Šaherl Lidija , Lah Klemen 
Published: January 2024

Purpose
The cerebral arterial circuit provides collateral circulation to the brain and protects the brain from ischemia, by sustaining tissue perfusion in case of reduced or impaired blood flow through its branches. Although many random anatomical variations in the circle of Willis (CoW) are of minor importance, some increase the risk of ischemic events, aneurysm, and atherosclerosis, and play an important role in endovascular and surgical treatment planning.
Case presentation
We report a rare arterial variation of the CoW diagnosed by computed tomography angiography in a patient with ischemic stroke. We found aplasia of the A1 segment of the left anterior cerebral artery and ipsilateral hypoplasia of the P1 segment of the left posterior cerebral artery.
Conclusion
For neurosurgeons, neurologists, and neuroradiologists, detailed knowledge of the numerous anatomical variations in the arterial supply to the brain is crucial to make a correct diagnosis and choose the appropriate treatment. The type of CoW variation influences stroke severity and outcome, with an incomplete CoW related to more severe conditions (higher National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale scores, more severe neurological deficits, and worse neurological outcomes) and poor prognosis.

The aim of the study was to analyze the abundance, species composition, dissemination of mouse-like rodents and other small mammals in the settlements of the West Kazakhstan Region over the past 6 years and the factors contributing to the change in the numbers in the long-term aspect.Materials and methods. We utilized the data obtained by employees of the Uralsk Plague Control Station, affiliated branch of the Republican State Enterprise “National Scientific Center of Particularly Dangerous Infections named after Masgut Aikimbaev” during a scheduled epizootiological survey of plague foci located in the West Kazakhstan Region.Results and discussion. The average annual number of rodents and insectivores in the settlements on the plague-enzootic territory of the West Kazakhstan Region was 5.1 in spring season, 8.1 in autumn, with 30.0 % occupancy of the facilities. In outbuildings, the number of rodents was three times higher than in residential buildings and amounted to 11.5 (residential buildings – 3.7). The general species composition of small mammals caught in the settlements was represented by seven species, among which the house mouse was a predominant one (97.5 %). The second place was occupied by the small shrew (1.7 %). There is a downward trend in the number of rodents in the steppe foci of plague (over 18 years – an average of 22.0 %). A slight increase in the number of animals by 2.0 % has been registered in the sandy focus.
Whole-Genome Sequencing and Search for Determinants of Resistance to Benzalkonium Chloride in <I>Burkholderia pseudomallei</I>
Authors: Luchinin D. N. , Ustinov D. V. , Shpak I. M. , Molchanova E. V. 
Published: January 2024

The aim of the study was to carry out whole-genome sequencing and comparative analysis of the original and benzalkonium chloride-resistant strains of Burkholderia pseudomallei.Materials and methods. We used the strain B. pseudomallei 134 and resistant to benzalkonium chloride B. pseudomallei 134K. Whole-genome sequencing was conducted on the MiSeq Reagent Kit v3 platform (600-cucle).Genome assembly for both strains was performed with the help of SPAdes v3.11.1. In order to compare genome sequences of the studied strains, Snippy v4.6.0 software was applied. MEGA X program was used to align the nucleotide and amino acid sequences.Results and discussion. The search and analysis of determinants responsible for the emergence of resistance to biocides in B. pseudomallei 134K have revealed two genes: the TetR transcriptional repressor gene and the AmrAB-OprA efflux pump gene. A single nucleotide polymorphism has been found in the TetR regulator, which led to the replacement of serine by proline in the mutant protein, and, as a result, a change in its secondary structure. It is believed that this mutation causes the loss of regulatory protein functionality, resulting in an increased expression of the efflux pump genes (AcrB/AcrD/AcrF) regulated by it. This follows by both, decrease in the level of sensitivity to benzalkonium chloride and the emergence of resistance to ceftazidime. In the AmrAB-OprA efflux pump gene, an insertion of 16 nucleotides has been detected at the position 544 of the amrA operon, which led to an increase in the length of the cistron, a shift in the reading frame, a change in the amino acid composition, and, as a result, a change in the secondary structure of the encoded protein. It is most likely that this mutation contributes to the loss of AmrAB-OprA operon function and the failure of normal outflow of xenobiotics from the cytoplasm of the microorganism. This assumption is evidenced by the loss of resistance to gentamicin in the mutant strain.

Abstract

Kinetic deflection is a planetary defense technique that delivers spacecraft momentum to a small body to deviate its course from Earth. The deflection efficiency depends strongly on the impactor and target. Among them, the contribution of global curvature was poorly understood. The ejecta plume created by NASA's DART impact on its target asteroid, Dimorphos, exhibited an elliptical shape almost aligned along its north-south direction. Here, we identify that this elliptical ejecta plume resulted from the target’s curvature, reducing the momentum transfer to 44±10% along the orbit track compared to an equivalent impact on a flat target. We also find lower kinetic deflection of impacts on smaller Near-Earth objects (NEOs) due to higher curvature. A solution to mitigate low deflection efficiency is to apply multiple low-energy impactors rather than a single high-energy impactor. Rapid reconnaissance to acquire a target's properties before deflection enables determining the proper locations and timing of impacts.

Abstract

The study addresses Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) in Central Mexico from iron-sulfur ore mine which poses environmental risks. The initial passive treatment using alkaline minerals improved pH and reduced metal concentrations but exceeded permissible limits (MLP) for Zn2 + and Cd2+, set by Mexican regulations (Zn = 10 and Cd = 0.2 mg/L). This study aimed to improve the original process by utilizing waste materials from a manganese mine (Mn-wastes). These materials contain carbonates (R3) and oxides and clays (R6) with a high sorption capacity to reduce Zn2+ and Cd2+ concentrations below the permissible level (MPL) or to directly treat the AMD without using other alkaline materials. The original pH of the AMD was 2.99, with the following contents: Al (445 mg/L), Fe (263 mg/L), Mn (364 mg/L), Cd (2.82 mg/L), and Zn (4,830 mg/L). After the pre-treatment at pH 6.31, concentrations in mg/L were found to be below the limits of detection (LODs) for Al and Fe, while Mn = 279, Cd = 0.39, and Zn = 1,110 mg/L. The results indicated that using R3 and R6, with or without the alkaline pre-treatment, allows compliance with the MPL, but the technical-economic viability is greater with the pre-treatment. Waste R6 is more efficient than R3. The addition of R6 (Mn-waste) to pre-treated AMD in a ratio of 0.75 (R6/AMD) with 30 hours of contact or with a ratio of 0.2 and 60 hours, resulted in Cd2+ and Zn2+ soluble concentrations decreasing below their MPL. The Zeta Potential of both wastes after contact with AMD increased to positive values, indicating that sorption occurred during the removal of metal(oids).
