Boundaries and classification: the cultural logic of treating foreign medicine
Authors: Xu Yufan 
Published: January 2024

AbstractFrom the 16th to the 19th centuries, Western medicine emerged in China and was considered dangerous by Chinese residents. Relatedly, Chinese medical practitioners have attempted to use knowledge based on traditional Chinese medicine to explain the principles of Western medicine. From the 19th to 20th centuries, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) was introduced to the United States, and American residents also described it as dangerous; they believed that TCM could only be accepted after scientific verification and explanation. This article uses the method of historical anthropology to explain these phenomena using boundaries as an analytical concept. This article finds that when foreign medicine crosses borders, it causes the disorganization of local classification systems. When a local classification system cannot provide a suitable location for foreign medicine, such medicine is easily regarded as dangerous by residents. The key to solving this problem is to use local classification systems to reinterpret foreign medicine. Reinterpreted by these local classification systems, foreign medicine can gain legitimacy within local societies. Based on this, the current article attempts to illustrate not only that science is a classification method but also that the boundary between science and nonscience is cultural in a sense, thereby undertaking corresponding cultural functions in daily life.
Does the well-matched marriage of successor affect the intergenerational inheritance of family business?
Authors: Wang Lixia , Ye Xi , Fu Yutong , Zhang Xin 
Published: January 2024

AbstractThe mainstream type of intergenerational inheritance of family firms in China is typically based on the “son inheriting his father’s business” model. However, the current research on the intergenerational inheritance of family businesses mainly focuses on the impact of the personal capabilities of the successor, rather than the successor’s interpersonal relationships such as marriage. This paper uses literature analysis and case studies to study the impact of the successor’s marriage on the family business by refining the indicators of what constitutes a well-matched marriage. The findings show that the marriage of the second generation has a significant impact on the intergenerational inheritance of the family business, as such marriage helps to expand the social capital of the second generation of the family and improve the performance of the business.
Explaining and modeling the impacts of inclusive finance on CO2 emissions in China integrated the intermediary role of energy poverty
Authors: Shen Qiong , Wu Rui , Pan Yuxi , Feng Yanchao 
Published: January 2024

AbstractInclusive finance has the potential to impact CO2 emissions resulting from energy activities by influencing regional economic behavior. To explore this relationship, this research makes use of panel data covering 30 Chinese provinces between 2004 and 2017. Through the utilization of empirical methods, including the dynamic panel model, the DIFF-GMM model, the mediating effect model, and the moderating effect model, the study examines the direction and mechanisms of the influence of financial inclusion on various aspects of CO2 emissions in China. The findings demonstrate that the development of inclusive finance has a significant effect on CO2 emissions, characterized by an energy rebound effect. This effect is primarily observed through notable increases in total CO2 emissions and per capita CO2 emissions, coupled with a reduction in CO2 emission efficiency. Additionally, inclusive finance exhibits a certain capacity to mitigate CO2 emissions by addressing energy poverty. However, this mitigating effect falls short of fully offsetting the CO2 emissions resulting from the overall economic impact of inclusive finance. Moreover, the study reveals that market regulation weakens the positive relationship between financial inclusion and CO2 emissions. Furthermore, the impact of financial inclusion on CO2 emissions exhibits a spatial spillover effect, wherein it serves to inhibit CO2 emissions in neighboring regions.
Combining stochastic density functional theory with deep potential molecular dynamics to study warm dense matter

Published: January 2024

In traditional finite-temperature Kohn–Sham density functional theory (KSDFT), the partial occupation of a large number of high-energy KS eigenstates restricts the use of first-principles molecular dynamics methods at extremely high temperatures. However, stochastic density functional theory (SDFT) can overcome this limitation. Recently, SDFT and the related mixed stochastic–deterministic density functional theory, based on a plane-wave basis set, have been implemented in the first-principles electronic structure software ABACUS [Q. Liu and M. Chen, Phys. Rev. B 106, 125132 (2022)]. In this study, we combine SDFT with the Born–Oppenheimer molecular dynamics method to investigate systems with temperatures ranging from a few tens of eV to 1000 eV. Importantly, we train machine-learning-based interatomic models using the SDFT data and employ these deep potential models to simulate large-scale systems with long trajectories. Subsequently, we compute and analyze the structural properties, dynamic properties, and transport coefficients of warm dense matter.
Is animal saliva a prominent factor in pasture regrowth?
Authors: Parnell Danica , Merchant Andrew , Ingram Lachlan 
Published: January 2024

Over a period spanning more than 100 years, a substantial amount of research has been undertaken to determine the impact that grazing ungulates have on grassland production systems globally, as they are the primary source of feed for these animals. Productivity of these lands, however, is highly dependent on a variety of factors such as quality and quantity of the forage, regrowth rates, and grazing rates. Expected regrowth rate of pasture, may be more influenced by animals than originally thought, as the direct effect of saliva deposition on plants on both the above and belowground biomass of plants remains relatively unclear. Though research is evident on grazing impacts on pasture, those which have utilised saliva have often found contradictory results, or do not discuss the mechanisms behind the responses in pasture observed. As such, we believe though it is a miniscule aspect of the entire grazing picture, investigating the effect of saliva in further detail may highlight gaps apparent in current research, such as what compounds are evident in saliva, and what those individual components functions are in plants, or what result may occur when applied on to plants. This review discusses what is currently known about animal saliva, the impact on pasture, and the greater practical applications of this knowledge for graziers.
The development of heterosemous inflection and derivation
Authors: Kinn Torodd 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
In Norwegian, the noun vis ‘manner’ is commonly used to head compounds. It is the historical
source of several suffixes: derivational suffixes in adverbs and adjectives and an inflectional suffix on measure nouns. Thus,
compounding has given rise to both derivation and inflection. These developments are analysed and compared with respect to how
they affect the network of constructions, with a focus on differences between derivation and inflection. The main difference is
that links of similarity and contrast have been centrally involved in the development of inflection, but not of derivation.
English and German derivation revisited
Authors: Lensch Anke 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Today, a number of etymologically related native and non-native English and German suffixes derive nouns and
adjectives from entire phrases, suggesting that these suffixes have evolved clitic-like properties. By providing a diachronic
analysis of dictionary entries that is underpinned by corpus searches, this paper traces how this property of the schemas of
German ‑ig, ‑er and ‑ismus and of English ‑y,
‑er and ‑ism has evolved in the respective languages. The present analysis reveals that some
developments appear to have taken place in parallel, while others are language-specific, which offers novel insights to our
understanding of diachronic change affecting morphological schemas.
A linguistic cycle for speech orienters
Authors: Nicolle Steve 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
This paper describes the way in which represented speech is introduced in ten eastern Bantu languages, and
explains the different constructions used as stages of a linguistic cycle. In this cycle, verbs of speech develop into quotative
markers, and eventually cease to be used to introduce direct speech. This cycle can be understood as a systematic and
unidirectional series of constructional changes.
Visibility and (re)vitalization
Authors: Gubitosi Patricia , Medina González Paola 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Recent sociolinguistic research has shown the impact of public use of language expressions on people’s attitudes
towards their language and how language can be susceptible to its environments. In this regard, the linguistic landscape
(henceforth, LL) of a community helps sociolinguists to examine and decipher the power relationships of languages
used in any bi/multilingual community. The presence or absence of a language in the public space carries a message that directly
and indirectly reveals its centrality versus its marginality in the community.
The present study analyzes language (in)visibility in the LL of three major cities (Oviedo/Uviéu,
Gijón/Xixón and Avilés) of Asturias, Spain, where Spanish is the majority language and Asturian is the regional language. The
empirical data provided in this article are based on an exemplary selection of publicly visible language policies and a survey
conducted by the authors on language attitudes. The results of the analysis suggest a mismatch between language policy and
language use in the region and a lack of prestige bestowed upon the Asturian language.
Low-frequency band gap design of acoustic metamaterial based on cochlear structure
Authors: Ruan Haifeng , Yu Peng , Hou Jiahong , Li Dong 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
In this paper, a new chiral spiral structure based on the cochlear structure is proposed. The chiral spiral structure consists of four orthogonally oriented cochlear structures with the same geometric parameters connected at the inner endpoints of the four cochlear structures. Based on the Bloch’s theory and finite element method, the band gap characteristics of the proposed chiral spiral structure are studied. The effects of ligament bending angle (θ), the ratio of arc radius of cochlear contour (α), the ligament thickness (tc
), and the level of the chiral spiral structure (n) on the chiral spiral structure are discussed. The results show that the two-level chiral spiral structure (n= 2) has the best band gap characteristics when θ = 180° and α = 0.45. With the decrease of tc
and the increase of n, the opening frequency of the first band gap gradually decreases. When n = 22, the chiral spiral structure has the lowest opening frequency, 1.91 Hz. The existence of the band gap is verified through the low amplitude elastic wave transmission tests. The distribution of the iso-frequency lines indicates that with the increase n, the propagation of elastic waves of the chiral spiral structure shows more distinct directivity, which provides a basis for the propagation control of elastic waves. These findings can provide new design ideas and directions for low-frequency vibration and noise control.

Published: January 2024

Abstract
Although mechanical metamaterials possess high specific energy absorption, they suffer from drawbacks such as irreversible deformations and non-adjustable mechanical properties. Magnetic excitation is considered to be one of the most promising methods for special working environments; for which uniform incorporation of UV-cured four-dimensional (4D) printed resin is considered to be an effective approach to achieving fine structural features. Our study investigated the impact of soft magnetic particle content on the mechanical and dynamic mechanical properties of a shape memory polymer matrix material. This paper presents a 4D printed metamaterial with a zero Poisson’s ratio that can sense magnetic field intensity and alter its mechanical properties. Its rapid shape recovery, achieved through magnetic excitation, enables multiple energy absorption within a short timeframe. By increasing the curvature radius, the stress concentration in the hexagonal honeycomb structure is reduced, ensuring the metamaterial maintains its zero Poisson’s ratio even under in-plane loading. The study investigates the energy absorption performance and force–displacement curve of metamaterials with different layers and cell sizes, focusing on a four-layer metamaterial for the analysis. Furthermore, the paper explores the tunable energy absorption characteristics of the four-layer metamaterial under time-varying electromagnetic fields, aiming to enhance the stability of a lander’s center of gravity while landing on uneven terrain.

Abstract
Ionic polymer-metal composites (IPMC) are devices composed of metallic electrodes and an ionomeric polymer membrane in a ‘sandwich’ architecture and. Their main property is electromechanical actuation or sensing based on the movement of ions. Metallic electrodes are commonly used for their high electrical conductivity, malleability, and chemical resistance. However, the high cost of noble metals, such as platinum, long manufacturing time, and fatigue failure limit their application. Therefore, the replacement of metallic electrodes with conductive elastomeric nanocomposites (CENs) was evaluated to reduce the costs and complexity of manufacturing the device and increase its working life. In this work, carbon nanotubes were used as the conductive fillers. The dispersion to achieve high electrical conductivity was carried out directly in the synthetic or natural polyisoprene rubber latex assisted by surfactant and high-power sonication. To improve the adhesion between the elastomeric electrode and the ionic membrane (Nafion), plasma treatment with atmospheric air was applied as a surface modifier. This treatment improved the hydrophilicity and adhesion of the rubbers by forming oxygenated groups and increasing the surface nanoroughness. In this way, ionomeric polymer–polymer composite (IP2C) devices were fabricated using Nafion and plasma-modified CENs, this type of electrode is unprecedented in the literature for this application. These devices showed displacement and strain sensing capacity at levels close to the conventional IPMC in all tested frequency ranges and applied accelerations. Notably, the IP2C obtained better resolution at low frequencies than the control.
Effect of cross-link density on the performance of polyimine/epoxy vitrimers
Authors: Li Ben , Zhu Guangming , Hao Yujia , Ren Tianning 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Vitrimers are polymers rich in dynamic covalent bonds in cross-link networks. When the dynamic covalent bonds are not activated, the vitrimers show the performance stability of the traditional thermosetting polymer. When the dynamic covalent bonds are activated, the vitrimers can show some novel and unique properties, such as stress relaxation, self-healing and reprocessing. This new type of polymer has attracted wide attention because of its unique properties. As thermoset materials, the degree of cross-link and cross-link density of the materials are very important for the performance of vitrimers. In order to find out the effects of cross-link density on the properties of vitrimers, a series of dynamic polyimine/epoxy cross-link networks with different cross-link densities were designed and prepared, and their properties were characterized. The materials with higher cross-link density show higher thermal properties, mechanical properties and shape fixation ratio. However, due to the increase of cross-link density, the mobility of molecular chain and the exchange of dynamic bonds are limited, so the healing efficiency, shape recovery ratio and shape recovery rate will decrease to a certain extent. This study provides important insights into a deeper understanding of this new type of polymer.
Mott insulator-density ordered superfluid transition and ‘shamrock transition’ in a frustrated triangle lattice
Authors: Wang Ce , Chen Yu 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Density order is usually a consequence of the competition between long-range and short-range interactions. Here we report a density ordered superfluid emergent from a homogeneous Mott insulator due to the competition between frustrations and local interactions. This transition is found in a Bose–Hubbard model on a frustrated triangle lattice with an extra pairing term. Furthermore, we find a quantum phase transition between two different density ordered superfluids, which is beyond the Landau–Ginzburg (LG) paradigm. A U(1) symmetry is emergent at the critical point, while the symmetry in each density ordered superfluid is Z
2 × Z
3. We call the transition a ‘shamrock transition’, due to its degenerate ground state in the parameter space being a shamrock-like curve rather than a circle in an LG-type transition. Effective low energy theories are established for the two transitions mentioned above and we find their resemblance and differences with clock models.
Role of 1D edge in the elasticity and fracture of h-BN doped graphene nanoribbons
Authors: Zhang Faling , Wang Guotong , Wang Ruijie , Wang Liya , Tang Chun , Wang Chengyuan 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Recent achievement of BN-graphene alloy material has enabled the potential of bandgap tuning through both sub-10 nm width control and BN concentration variation. However, its mechanics, which is necessary for prediction of stability in functional applications, is not well studied. Here, molecular dynamics simulation is performed to conduct uniaxial tensile test for BN-doped graphene nanoribbons (BN-GNR) with varying widths and BN atom fractions. Efforts are made to study the constitutive relations for the edges and the whole BN-GNR and explore the fracture mechanisms of the hybrid nanoribbons. The substantial softening effect of the edges induced by wrinkling alters the impact of BN concentration on the stiffness in the sub-20 nm regime deviating from the linear behaviour observed in the bulk case. Fracture properties are unexpectedly independent of BN concentrations unlike in the bulk and the failure behaviour is rather decided by the graphene ribbon edge structure. Here the armchair edges serve as the source of crack nucleation at an early stage leading to weakened strength and reduced stretchability, whereas zigzag edges do not promote early crack nucleation and leads to the size dependence of fracture properties.

Abstract
Water, constituting 75% of Earth and vital for sustaining life, faces global contamination challenges, causing approximately 2 million annual deaths from waterborne diseases, as reported by the World Health Organization. Technological strides in water purification leverage antibacterial materials to combat this issue. At the forefront is silver nanoparticles (AgNP), renowned for antimicrobial efficacy. Their action involves damaging bacterial cells and hindering metabolism, causing structural and physiological alterations in microbial membranes. Graphene oxide (GO) emerges as a potent biocide, and when combined with AgNP, it enhances antibacterial activity. The resulting composite, known as antibacterial graphene oxide quantum dots (GOQD), exhibits photocatalytic behavior when exposed to sunlight or UV rays, generating reactive oxygen species (ROS). This synergistic composite, particularly the GOQD/AgNP combination, proves effective in eliminating bacteria and fungi from water. In a recent study, GOQD was synthesized, and the GOQD/AgNP combination was prepared. Structural analyses, utilizing techniques such as FTIR, Zeta sizer, and TEM, revealed heightened antibacterial activity with increasing AgNP ratios. The GOQD/AgNP samples formed inhibition zones of 11.75 mm, 10 mm, and 9.88 mm against pathogenic bacteria Escherichia coli (E. coli), Salmonella typhi (S. typhi), and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), respectively. Notably, the GOQD/AgNP composite demonstrated a synergistic antibacterial effect, showcasing its potential for widespread applications. This material holds promise for deployment in drinking water treatment plants and water storage tanks, ensuring water safety for consumption. Beyond water purification, the composite’s antibacterial properties hint at significant potential in medical and industrial realms, marking a crucial step toward safeguarding water sources and enhancing global public health.

Abstract
Ionic liquid has become a very fascinating modifier in the past few years. With the help of an ionic liquid-modified carbon paste electrode (CPE), electrochemistry has become a great way to find different drugs with a lower detection limit and high sensitivity and selectivity. The circulation of electrons of the ring in the cationic part of ionic liquid enables in lowering of the electron resistance and further enhancing the electrical conductivity. The combination of ionic liquids with various kinds of materials such as Nobel metals, metal oxides, graphene oxides, carbon nanotubes (CNT), etc has further improved its catalytic activity as a modifier enabling faster electron transfer. Additionally, the ability of an ionic liquid to dissolve other chemicals allows for the incorporation of the electrolytes and redo-active species into the electrode, enhancing its performance. Anti-cancer drugs are life-saving but have a lot of side effects, but one of the biggest is cardiotoxicity, which is very important for saving patients’ lives. So figuring out what these drugs are is a big task for scientists all over the world. Therefore, the current review enlightens the path for using ionic liquid as a modifier for the detection of anthracycline and purine-pyrimidine-based anti-cancer drugs.
