AbstractAntiferromagnetic spintronics is a rapidly emerging field with the potential to revolutionize the way information is stored and processed. One of the key challenges in this field is the development of novel 2D antiferromagnetic materials. In this paper, the first on‐surface synthesis of a Co‐directed metal–organic network is reported in which the Co atoms are strongly antiferromagnetically coupled, while featuring a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. This material is a promising candidate for future antiferromagnetic spintronic devices, as it combines the advantages of 2D and metal–organic chemistry with strong antiferromagnetic order and perpendicular magnetic anisotropy.

Published: December 2023

AbstractComplicated oxygen evolution reaction (OER) poses the bottleneck in improving the efficiency of hydrogen production through water electrolysis. Herein, an integrated strategy to modulate the electronic structure of NiFe layered double hydroxide (NiFe‐LDH) is reported by constructing Ag‐incorporated NiCo‐PBA@NiFe‐LDH heterojunction with a hierarchical hollow structure. This “double heterojunction” facilitates local charge polarization at the interface, thereby promoting electron transfer and reducing the adsorption energy of intermediates, ultimately enhancing the intrinsic activity of the catalyst. It is noteworthy that an exchange bias field is observed between NiCo‐PBA and NiFe‐LDH, which will be conducive to regulating the electron spin states of metals and facilitating the production of triplet oxygen. Additionally, the unique hierarchical nanoboxes provide a large specific surface area that ensures adequate exposure to adsorption sites and active sites. Profiting from the synergistic advantages, the overpotential is as low as 190 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm−2, with a low Tafel slope of 21 mV dec−1. Moreover, density functional theory (DFT) calculation further substantiated that the incorporation of Ag in the heterojunction can effectively reduce the adsorption energy of reactant intermediates and enhance the conductivity.

Published: December 2023

AbstractWith the rapid development and increasing popularity of electric vehicles and wearables, battery safety has become a leading focus in the field of energy storage research. Specifically, aluminum‐ion batteries are gaining increasing attention as low‐cost energy‐storage systems with high safety levels and theoretical energy density. However, the dense alumina passivation layer on the aluminum anode surface and slow kinetic performance of commonly used ionic liquid electrolytes still render poor performance. This report presents a new type of aluminum‐derived lithium‐ion battery (ALIB) that maintains a certain discharge performance under damaging conditions, including continuous bending, high‐ and low‐temperature environments, and shearing. This new ALIB effectively meets the current demand for flexible and wearable batteries. The prepared ALIB achieves a stable cycle of 130 mAh g−1 specific capacity and ≈260 Wh kg−1 theoretical energy density at a wide voltage platform of 2 V and a test temperature of 25 °C without undergoing combustion. Additionally, the study analyzes the reaction mechanism of this ALIB based on density functional theory and conducts ex situ XRD and XPS analyses to elucidate the underlying storage mechanism.
Polycarbonate‐Based Solid‐Polymer Electrolytes for Solid‐State Sodium Batteries

Published: December 2023

AbstractSolid‐polymer electrolytes comprised of polypropylene carbonate (PPC) and varied sodium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (NaFSI) salt concentrations are investigated for implementation as a conductive solid polymer electrolyte into solid‐state cathode composites utilizing a sodium‐layered oxide active material. The ionic conductivity generally increases with NaFSI salt content, reaching ≈1 mS cm−1 at 80 °C at the highest salt concentration (PPC:NaFSI = 0.5:1). Through an all‐in‐one slurry casting method, Na2/3Ni1/3Mn2/3O2 cathode composites are fabricated in which the dispersed PPC electrolyte acts as the primary binder. Enabled by a bilayer polymer electrolyte system, cycling performance with the PPC cathode electrolyte is optimized with respect to salt concentration and anode material. The best cyclability is achieved with a moderate salt concentration electrolyte (PPC:NaFSI = 5:1), showcasing an initial capacity of 83 mA h g−1 with a remarkable 80% capacity retention after 150 cycles at C/5 rate and 60 °C. The superior performance of the lower salt concentration electrolyte is attributed to better electrochemical stability, as confirmed by linear sweep voltammetry and online electrochemical mass spectrometry measurements. These results underscore the potential of carbonate‐based polymer electrolytes and the importance of balancing electrolyte conductivity and stability in cell design.
Extramural English in Scandinavia and Asia: Scale Development, Learner Engagement, and Perceived Speaking Ability
Authors: Sundqvist Pia , Uztosun M. Sercan 
Published: December 2023

AbstractThis article comprises two international studies. Study 1 aimed to develop a scale to measure the frequency of learners' voluntary, informal, out‐of‐school engagement with English, so‐called Extramural English (EE) activities. It involved three stages – pilot study, exploratory factor analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis – followed by measuring the test–retest reliability and known‐groups validity of the scale. L2 English learners (N = 907; mean age: 17) from Scandinavia (Denmark, Norway, and Sweden) and Turkey participated. The analyses led to a 32‐item EE Scale that loaded onto eight factors: EE Digital Creativity, Gaming, Internalized, Music, Niche Activities, Reading and Listening, Social Interaction, and Viewing. Study 2, in which the scale was implemented, aimed to explore the frequency of EE activities and examined whether EE predicts learners' perceived speaking ability in different settings. Learners from Scandinavia (N = 197) and Asia (N = 125; China and Turkey) participated. Data analyses showed that both samples engaged most frequently in EE Music, Viewing and Reading and Listening. Ordinal regression analysis revealed that EE predicts perceived speaking ability in both contexts, but differently so. Thus, EE seems to play different roles for learning English in the different settings. Implications are discussed regarding the context‐specific nature of EE.

AbstractThe widespread presence of microplastics (MPs) in the environment poses a significant threat to biological survival and human health. However, our understanding of the toxic effects of MPs on the kidneys remains limited. This study aimed to investigate the underlying mechanism of the toxic effects of MPs on the kidneys using an ischemia–reperfusion (IR) mouse model. Four‐week‐old ICR mice were exposed to 0.5 μm MPs for 12 weeks prior to IR injury. The results showed that MPs exposure could aggravate the IR‐induced damage to renal tubules and glomeruli. Although there were no significant changes in blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine levels 7 days after IR, MPs treatment resulted in a slight increase in both parameters. In addition, the expression levels of inflammatory factors (MCP‐1 and IL‐6) at the mRNA level, as well as macrophage markers (CD68 and F4/80), were significantly higher in the MPs + IR group than in the Sham group after IR. Furthermore, MPs exposure exacerbated IR‐induced renal fibrosis. Importantly, the expression of pyroptosis‐related genes, including NLRP3, ASC, GSDMD, cleaved caspase‐1, and IL‐18, was significantly upregulated by MPs, indicating that MPs exacerbate pyroptosis in the context of renal IR. In conclusion, our findings suggest that MPs exposure can aggravate renal IR‐induced pyroptosis by activating NLRP3‐GSDMD signaling.

AbstractIn short-term production management of the Internet of Production (IoP) the vision of a Production Control Center is pursued, in which interlinked decision-support applications contribute to increasing decision-making quality and speed. The applications developed focus in particular on use cases near the shop floor with an emphasis on the key topics of production planning and control, production system configuration, and quality control loops.Within the Predictive Quality application, predictive models are used to derive insights from production data and subsequently improve the process- and product-related quality as well as enable automated Root Cause Analysis. The Parameter Prediction application uses invertible neural networks to predict process parameters that can be used to produce components with desired quality properties. The application Production Scheduling investigates the feasibility of applying reinforcement learning to common scheduling tasks in production and compares the performance of trained reinforcement learning agents to traditional methods. In the two applications Deviation Detection and Process Analyzer, the potentials of process mining in the context of production management are investigated. While the Deviation Detection application is designed toidentify and mitigate performance and compliance deviations in production systems, the Process Analyzer concept enables the semi-automated detection of weaknesses in business and production processes utilizing event logs.With regard to the overall vision of the IoP, the developed applications contribute significantly to the intended interdisciplinary of production and information technology. For example, application-specific digital shadows are drafted based on the ongoing research work, and the applications are prototypically embedded in the IoP.

AbstractThe Internet of Production (IoP) leverages concepts such as digital shadows, data lakes, and a World Wide Lab (WWL) to advance today’s production. Consequently, it requires a technical infrastructure that can support the agile deployment of these concepts and corresponding high-level applications, which, e.g., demand the processing of massive data in motion and at rest. As such, key research aspects are the support for low-latency control loops, concepts on scalable data stream processing, deployable information security, and semantically rich and efficient long-term storage. In particular, such an infrastructure cannot continue to be limited to machines and sensors, but additionally needs to encompass networked environments: production cells, edge computing, and location-independent cloud infrastructures. Finally, in light of the envisioned WWL, i.e., the interconnection of production sites, the technical infrastructure must be advanced to support secure and privacy-preserving industrial collaboration. To evolve today’s production sites and lay the infrastructural foundation for the IoP, we identify five broad streams of research: (1) adapting data and stream processing to heterogeneous data from distributed sources, (2) ensuring data interoperability between systems and production sites, (3) exchanging and sharing data with different stakeholders, (4) network security approaches addressing the risks of increasing interconnectivity, and (5) security architectures to enable secure and privacy-preserving industrial collaboration. With our research, we evolve the underlying infrastructure from isolated, sparsely networked production sites toward an architecture that supports high-level applications and sophisticated digital shadows while facilitating the transition toward a WWL.

AbstractIn this chapter, the focus lies on a predictive description of the material response to the thermomechanical loads within different process steps by means of physical and data-driven models. The modeling approaches are demonstrated in examples of innovative production technologies for components of a drive chain: Fine blanking of parts; powder metallurgical (PM) production of gears; open-die forging and machining of drive shafts. In fine blanking, material, process, and quality data are acquired to model interactions between process and material with data-driven methods. Interpretable machine learning is utilized to non-destructively characterize the initial material state, enabling an optimization of process parameters for a given material state in the long-term. The PM process chain of the gear includes sintering, pressing, surface densification, case hardening, and finishing by grinding. Several modeling and characterization approaches are applied to quantitatively describe the microstructure evolutions in terms of porosity during sintering, density profile after cold rolling, hardness and residual stresses after heat treating and grinding and the tooth root load bearing capacity. In the example of the open-die forging, a knowledge-based approach is developed to support the decision-making process regarding the choice of the proper material and optimized pass schedules. Considering the microstructure of the forged shaft, the elastoplastic material behavior is described by a dislocation-based, multiscale modeling approach. On this basis, process simulations could be carried out to predict the process forces, chip form, residual stresses, and the tool life among other output data.
Camilla Herculiana (Erculiani): Private Practices of Knowledge Production
Authors: Bakić Jelena 
Published: December 2023

AbstractThis chapter analyses the paratextual and epistolary rhetorical strategies connected with private practices of knowledge production used by the sixteenth-century Paduan natural philosopher, apothecary, and writer Camilla Herculiana (Erculiani). To legitimize her authorship, she used different rhetorical strategies, but her self-portrayal as a woman, housewife, mother, and wife, and her references to household maintenance, solving daily problems, and being free to learn only in the hours of the night, furnish fruitful terrain for a rhetorical-cultural analysis. Such an analysis will shed important light on the relationships between the private and public spheres, gender hierarchies, and the meaning of privacy in late sixteenth-century knowledge-making.
A Double Helix: The Intertwined History of the Marginalisation of Welfare Clients and Their Activist Lawyers and Advisers in the Transformation of the Welfare State in England and Wales
Authors: Sanderson Pete , Sommerlad Hilary 
Published: December 2023

AbstractThis chapter draws on four qualitative studies conducted in England from the mid-1990s to 2015, to trace the intertwined stories of the emergence, flourishing and decline of activist welfare professionals committed to democratising access to justice and the expansion of and subsequent restriction in legal subjectivity. It situates these professionals’ role conception and practices in post-war UK social citizenship and shows how the neo-liberal project to construct an exclusionary form of citizenship entailed restrictions in access to the law. The data is used to highlight the relationship between the resulting impoverishment and disenfranchisement of welfare clients and the de-professionalisation of their lawyers and legal advisers and explores the mechanisms by which these twin goals were achieved.
The Paradoxical Reality of Welfare Professionals: Encounters Between Welfare Professionals and Citizens Within Social Security in the Netherlands
Authors: de Winter Paulien 
Published: December 2023

AbstractWelfare professionals work with a paradoxical reality. They should treat all citizens the same, and at the same time they must act responsively in individual cases when appropriate. Based on in-depth interviews with welfare professionals, this chapter provides a picture of the daily activities of welfare professionals and their interactions with citizens in the Dutch social security context. Based on a typology of enforcement styles, the chapter shows variation between and within agencies in how welfare professionals interpret the rules and how they respond to rule violations. It shows that, despite stricter legislation, welfare professionals are still able to leave their mark on enforcement.
Access to Justice and Social Rights for Victims of Trafficking and Labour Exploitation in Sweden
Authors: Schoultz Isabel , Smiragina-Ingelström Polina 
Published: December 2023

AbstractThis chapter delves into the challenges encountered by victims of human trafficking and other forms of labour exploitation in Sweden as they struggle to access social rights and justice. By drawing from theories of victimisation as an interactional process, the study examines the role of professionals such as government agents, social services, unions, and NGOs as facilitators in assisting victims in gaining access to social rights and justice. The chapter underscores how access to justice and social rights is intricately intertwined with the victim identification process, the migration regime, and the gendered nature of assistance programmes. The limited access to social rights for victims may be attributed to the principles of inclusion and exclusion associated with the welfare state and the logic of the migration regime.
Sozialökologische Konflikte der »Überflüssigen«: Zentrale Befunde und theoretische Diskussion
Authors: Graf Jakob 
Published: December 2023

ZusammenfassungIn meiner Arbeit wurde bisher deutlich, dass die meisten der dargestellten Kategorien des Nicht-Kapitalistischen theoretische Chiffren geblieben sind, die eine Leerstelle bezeichnen und nicht zur Klärung der dahinterliegenden Verhältnisse ausreichen. Zwar weisen Konzepte wie »Exklusion«, »Überbevölkerung«, »Marginalität«, »traditioneller« oder »informeller Sektor« auf Formen der Nicht-Integration in den kapitalistischen Sektor hin, allerdings tragen sie eher zum Verständnis der Effekte des kapitalistischen Sektors bei als zu demjenigen der Eigenlogiken des Nicht-Kapitalistischen. Daher wurde in der vorliegenden Arbeit die Heuristik der »strukturellen Heterogenität« erarbeitet und das empirisch-analytische Konzept des »bedarfsökonomischen Sektors« eingeführt. Im Folgenden lege ich die zentralen empirischen Befunde dar, die diese Herangehensweise mit Blick auf die chilenische Gesellschaft hervorbrachte und gehe im Anschluss auf kapitalismus- sowie klassen- und konflikttheoretische Schlussfolgerungen und die Stärken und Schwächen der von mir gewählten Konzepte ein.
Spotlight: Zu den Grenzen der Medizin und dem „Human Enhancement“
Authors: Fangerau Heiner 
Published: December 2023

ZusammenfassungDie Grenzen der Medizin sind ein beständiges Thema in der Geschichte der Literatur und der Popkultur ebenso wie in der medizinischen Ethik. Im Kern bezieht sich die Frage nach den Grenzen darauf, wann den Menschen betreffende Phänomene in medizinischen Kategorien gefasst, gedeutet und im Handeln adressiert werden sollen und dürfen. Aus historischer Sicht sind diese Grenzen nicht klar markiert, sondern in beständigem Fluss. Neue Techniken, wissenschaftliche Konzeptverschiebungen, gesellschaftlicher Wandel, ökonomische und politische Rahmenbedingungen sowie moralischer Wertewandel tragen dazu bei, dass vorher nicht medizinisch definierte Lebensbereiche dem Zugriff der Medizin eröffnet oder ehedem medizinisch definierte Phänomene nicht mehr auf medizinische Begriffe gebracht werden können. Ein prominentes Beispiel bietet die Homosexualität, die noch im ausgehenden 20. Jahrhundert von der Weltgesundheitsorganisation nosologisch gefasst, d. h. als Krankheit beschrieben wurde, sich dann aber medizinischen Deutungsmustern und Praktiken entzog (Conrad und Angell 2004).
