Perspective: There is Plenty of Room for Magnetic Straintronics in the Analog Domain
Authors: Bandyopadhyay Supriyo 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Magnetic straintronics made its debut more than a decade ago as an extremely energy-efficient paradigm for implementing a digital switch for digital information processing. The switch consists of a slightly elliptical nano-sized magnetostrictive disk in elastic contact with a piezoelectric layer (forming a two-phase multiferroic system). Because of the elliptical shape, the nanomagnet’s magnetization has two stable (mutually antiparallel) orientations along the major axis, which can encode the binary bits 0 and 1. A voltage pulse of sub-ns duration and amplitude few to few tens of mV applied across the piezoelectric generates enough strain in the nanomagnet to switch its magnetization from one stable state to the other by virtue of the inverse magnetostriction (or Villari) effect, with an energy expenditure that is roughly an order of magnitude smaller than what it takes to switch a modern-day electronic transistor. That possibility, along with the fact that such a switch is non-volatile unlike the conventional transistor, generated significant excitement. However, it was later tempered by the realization that straintronic switching is also extremely error-prone, which may preclude many digital applications, particularly in Boolean logic. In this perspective, we offer the view that there is plenty of room for magnetic straintronics in the analog domain, which is much more forgiving of switching errors, and where the excellent energy-efficiency and non-volatility are a boon. Analog straintronics can have intriguing applications in many areas, such as a new genre of aggressively miniaturized electromagnetic antennas that defy the Harrington limit on the radiation efficiency of conventional antennas, analog arithmetic multipliers (and ultimately vector matrix multipliers) for non-volatile deep learning networks with very small footprint and excellent energy-efficiency, and relatively high-power microwave oscillators with output frequency in the X-band. When combined with spintronics, analog straintronics can also implement a new type of spin field effect transistor employing quantum materials such as topological insulators, and they have unusual transfer characteristics which can be exploited for analog tasks such as frequency multiplication using just a single transistor. All this hints at a world of new possibilities in the analog domain that deserves serious attention.

Authors: Guo Na , Wang Chao , Senadjki Abdelhak , Li Chao 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Much progress needs to be made before the tourism industry achieves high-quality development. Moreover, the upgrading of the tourism industry is the key to the economic transformation and optimization of ethnic minority areas. On the basis of the theory of social reproduction, this article takes “input-process-output” as the logical basis and constructs the tourism industry from eight criteria levels, namely, factor input, innovation input, coordinated development, green development, industrial structure, open development, shared development, and effective development. On the basis of a scientific and comprehensive evaluation index system, this study uses the entropy method and the obstacle model to measure and evaluate the high-quality development level of the tourism industry in western China from 2011 to 2020. The research results show that major public events can have a serious impact on the tourism industry, and the vulnerability of the tourism industry is relatively evident. In addition, the measurement results reveal that advanced industrial structures, openness to the outside world, development quality, driving innovation, improved life quality, labor input, infrastructure, and development efficiency are the main factors restricting the development level of the tourism industry in most provinces in ethnic minority areas. Hence, the study proposes four ways to promote the high-quality development of the tourism industry in these locations. First, a high-level tourism industry structure and large-scale development must be realized simultaneously. Second, open development, green development, and shared development must be vigorously promoted within the tourism industry. Third, the driving role of technological innovation and policy innovation must be emphasized. Fourth, a normalized joint prevention and control mechanism for the tourism industry must be established.
Efficiency and Equilibrium Selection in Arbitrated Bargaining
Authors: Han John J. , Haruvy Ernan 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
We study two variants of an arbitrated bargaining problem where two parties lay proportional claims to an asset, and an arbiter has a final say on allocation. The two variants we study vary by the incentives to the arbiter. In one variant, the arbiter is incentivized proportional to the payoff to the lowest paid claimant and in the other, the arbiter is incentivized proportional to the payoff to the highest paid claimant. While neither incentive scheme alters the set of equilibria, they alter expected payoff in off-equilibrium outcomes, and therefore impact equilibrium selection. Accordingly, the first variant leads to egalitarian claims whereas the second variant leads to greedy claims and subsequently to a high incidence of impasse.

Published: November 2023

Abstract

The present study focuses on removing hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) using indigenous metal-resistant bacterial strains isolated from a common industrial effluent treatment plant, a contaminated site in Vishakhapatnam. Three high metal-resistant isolates were screened by growing them in nutrient agar media containing different Cr(VI) concentrations for 24 h at 35 ± 2 °C. The three strains’ minimum inhibitory concentrations of Cr(VI) were examined at neutral pH and 35 ± 2 °C temperature. Morphological, biochemical, and molecular characterizations were carried out, and the strains were identified as Bacillus subtilis NITSP1, Rhizobium pusense NITSP2, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa NITSP3. Elemental composition and functional group analysis of the native and metal-loaded cells were done using energy-dispersive spectroscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, respectively. The operating conditions were optimized using a one-factor-at-a-time analysis. When compared with three bacterial isolates, maximum Cr(VI) removal (80.194 ± 4.0%) was observed with Bacillus subtilis NITSP1 with an initial Cr(VI) concentration of 60 mg/L, pH 7.0, an inoculum size of 2% (v/v), and an incubation period of 24 h. The logistic model was used to predict the variation of biomass growth with time. The present study can be extended to remove heavy metals from industrial wastewater in an environmental-friendly manner.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Microplastic (MP) pollution is a growing concern and various methods are being sought to alleviate the level of pollution worldwide. This study investigates the biodegradation capacity of MPs by indigenous microorganisms of raw water from Tehran drinking water treatment plants. By exposing polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) MPs to selected microbial colonies, structural, morphological, and chemical changes were detected by scanning electron microscope (SEM), cell weight measurement, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy test, and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). Selected bacterial strains include Pseudomonas protegens strain (A), Bacillus cereus strain (B), and Pseudomonas protegens strain (C). SEM analysis showed roughness and cracks on PP MPs exposed to strains A and C. However, PE MPs exposed to strain B faced limited degradation. In samples related to strain A, the Raman spectrum was completely changed, and a new chemical structure was created. Both TGA and FTIR analysis confirmed changes detected by Raman analysis of PP and PE MPs in chemical changes in this study. The results of cell dry weight loss for microbial strains A, B, and C were 13.5, 38.6, and 25.6%, respectively. Moreover, MPs weight loss was recorded at 32.6% for PP MPs with strain A, 13.3% for PE MPs with strain B, and 25.6% for PP MPs with strain C.

Published: November 2023

Background
The mobile Agnew Relationship Measure (mARM) is a self-report questionnaire for the evaluation of digital mental health interventions and their interactions with users. With the global increase in digital mental health intervention research, translated measures are required to conduct research with local populations.

Objective
The aim of this study was to translate and validate the original English version of the mARM into a German version (mARM-G).

Methods
A total of 2 native German speakers who spoke English as their second language conducted forward translation of the original items. This version was then back translated by 2 native German speakers with a fluent knowledge of English. An independent bilingual reviewer then compared these drafts and created a final German version. The mARM-G was validated by 15 experts in the field of mobile app development and 15 nonexperts for content validity and face validity; 144 participants were recruited to conduct reliability testing as well as confirmatory factor analysis.

Results
The content validity index of the mARM-G was 0.90 (expert ratings) and 0.79 (nonexperts). The face validity index was 0.89 (experts) and 0.86 (nonexperts). Internal consistency for the entire scale was Cronbach α=.91. Confirmatory factor analysis results were as follows: the chi-square statistic to df ratio was 1.66. Comparative Fit Index was 0.87 and the Tucker-Lewis Index was 0.86. The root mean square error of approximation was 0.07.

Conclusions
The mARM-G is a valid and reliable tool that can be used for future studies in German-speaking countries.

The Value of Auditor Verification Amid Economic Uncertainty: International Evidence from Small Businesses
Authors: Ai Xi , Lin Chenxi , Newton Nathan J. 
Published: November 2023

SUMMARY
We examine the value of auditor verification to small businesses when they face economic uncertainty. The COVID-19 pandemic was a significant, exogenous economic shock that immediately heightened the need for external funding for many companies. Using a sample of small, private companies from 21 countries, we examine how the receipt of an audit prior to the pandemic affects the primary type of financing companies obtain during the pandemic. We find that companies with audited financial statements available are more inclined to secure primary funding from bank loans rather than from equity contributions from existing owners or new investors. However, an audit is not associated with primary funding from government sources. We also document that businesses benefit most from an audit when information asymmetry and economic disruption are relatively high and when the supply of government liquidity support is relatively low.

Oral argumentation and language-aware civic education – a theoretical proposal
Authors: Sobernheim Janine 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Oral argumentative competence is highly relevant for responsible [mündige] participation in social negotiation processes. Thus, promoting argumentative competence is central to civic education. However, there is a lack of theoretical concepts and empirical findings which can guide action in the civic education classroom. Since argumentative competence is a linguistic skill, the concept of language-aware civic education offers itself as a plausible framework. In this article, the two terms oral argumentative competence and language-aware subject teaching are clarified within the context of civic education. It is shown how subject-specific oral argumentative competence can be fostered through language-aware civic education.
The influence of cocoa fruit husk extract on the degradation of eps (extracellular polymeric substance) in Lactobacillus acidophilus biofilm
Authors: Regita Azimah 
Published: November 2023

Introduction: Dental caries is characterized by progressive demineralization and plaque formation by Lactobacillus acidophilus bacteria due to biofilm formation as a microbial defense mechanism that binds to EPS. To address this issue, cocoa fruit husks extract is utilized as it contains active flavonoids with antibacterial properties. Objective: Demonstrate that cocoa fruit husk extract can degrade Lactobacillus acidophilus bacterial EPS biofilm and determine the optimal concentration of cocoa fruit husk extract. Methods: Cocoa Fruit Husk Extract Preparation was followed by Lactobacillus acidophilus bacterial preparation. Dilution was performed to achieve a concentration of 106 Bacteria/mL. Microtiter plates with flat-bottom 24 wells were sealed. They were then divided into two groups: one as a control without cocoa fruit husk extract and the other with cocoa fruit husk extract at concentrations of 1.56%; 3.125%; 4.69%; 6.25%; and 7.8%, and incubated at 35°C for 24 hours. Subsequently, they were aspirated, washed 4 times with phosphate-buffered saline, stained with dextran alexa fluor 647, and rinsed with distilled water. Biofilm sections, 0.5 mm thick, were placed on glass slides, and EPS Biofilm was measured using CLSM at 40x magnification. Results: The division into microtiter plates showed that the 7.8% concentration had the highest potential with a value of X ± SD = 8.3366 ± 1.76364 in degrading EPS biofilm compared to others. This is in line with previous research, indicating that higher extract concentrations lead to better biofilm degradation activity. Conclusion: Cocoa fruit husk extract can degrade Lactobacillus acidophilus bacterial EPS biofilm, with the most optimal concentration being 7.8%.
