Published: January 2025

Abstract
This study examines recent energy transition policies and the conceptual framework of energy justice, emphasizing the role of hydropower, in ensuring the equitable distribution of energy services and burdens. The analysis focuses on the EU’s energy mix, highlighting the capacity of hydropower and its impact on energy justice, and examines the relationship between migration and energy poverty in countries such as Poland, the Czech Republic and Turkey. In addition to their role as a source of renewable energy, hydropower offer a range of other benefits, including irrigation, flood control, water supply and fisheries. Despite these benefits, the construction of dams can also give rise to several social impacts, including environmental degradation, displacement of local communities and disruption to traditional livelihoods. The study concludes that hydropower remains critical to the EU’s transition to a sustainable and equitable energy system and supports social justice through improved energy access and security.

Abstract

Objective. Mapping the myomagnetic field of a straight and easily accessible muscle after electrical stimulation using triaxial optically pumped magnetometers (OPMs) to assess potential benefits for magnetomyography (MMG). Approach. Six triaxial OPMs were arranged in two rows with three sensors each along the abductor digiti minimi (ADM) muscle. The upper row of sensors was inclined by 45° with respect to the lower row and all sensors were aligned closely to the skin surface without direct contact. Then, the electromagnetic muscle activity was electrically evoked utilizing stepwise increasing currents at the cubital tunnel at the ulnar nerve. Evoked myomagnetic activity was recorded with 18 channels, three per sensor. As the measurements were performed in PTB’s magnetically shielded room (BMSR-2) no averaging and only moderate filtering was applied. Main results. The myomagnetic vector field could be successfully mapped. The obtained spatial structure with a radial symmetry corresponds to the expectations from the ADM’s parallel muscle architecture. The temporal evolution exhibits an up to four-phasic shape. Implications for future experiments are derived and needs for sensor performance improvements are identified. Significance. The use of an OPM array with small (∼3 mm edge length) sensing voxels enabled the mapping of the magnetic vector field of the ADM. This allowed visualization of the spatiotemporal evolution of the muscle’s evoked magnetic field and gives implications for future experiments. In the future, high density OPM grids may enable high-accuracy determination of muscle parameters such as innervation zone position, pennation angle, and propagation velocities.

Abstract
Capacitive-based radiofrequency (Rf) radiation at 27 MHz offers a non-invasive approach for inducing hyperthermia, making it a promising technique for thermal cancer therapy applications. To achieve focused and site-specific hyperthermia, Rf-responsive materials is required to convert Rf radiation into localized heat efficiently. Nanoparticles capable of absorbing Rf energy and convert into heat for targeted ablation are of critical importance. In this study, we developed and evaluated an Intra-tumoral injectable magnetic hydrogel (IT-MG) composed of Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles (SPIONs) impregnated in low molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid (HA) forming HA-SPIONs. Our systematic investigation revealed that HA-SPIONs exposed to Rf radiation significantly increased temperature, reaching up to 50 °C. Further testing in tissue-mimicking phantom models also showed consistent heating, with temperatures stabilizing at 43 °C, ideal for localized hyperthermia. The ability of HA-SPIONs to act as an effective localized heating agent when exposed to 27 MHz Rf radiation, reaching apoptosis-inducing temperature, has not been previously reported. In conclusion, synergistic effects of IT-MG in both in-vitro and tumor-mimicking phantom models demonstrate improved and localized hyperthermia, facilitating adjuvant cancer treatment.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Environmental variables influence the spatial distribution, pattern and structure of vegetation in complex mountainous landscape along varied geographical conditions. Present study explored the spatial distribution of four forest types across ecological gradient based on field data, climatic, topographic, and soil variables based on stepwise linear regression (SLR), decision trees (DT), random forests (RF), and Maxent modeling. Results showed that climatic variables. Results showed that climatic variables (particularly annual precipitation, precipitation of warmest and coldest quarter) have achieved the highest predictive capability for forest types mapping and outperformed other explanatory variables (topographic and edaphic). Among the rest of variables, elevation, sand contents and SOC have achieved good correlation and contained useful information in order explain forest type spatial distribution. Analysis of regression models revealed that RF has achieved the highest correlation (R2=0.923) and lowest RMSE 0.54, followed by the SLR model in which R2 value has been progressively increased from 0.41 (error 2.02) to 0.917 (0.77) with respect four different predictors models, each separate developed for topographic (n=5), soil (n-11), climatic (n=11) and combined of all datasets (n=27). CHAID DT showed that annual precipitation was the most important predictor for forest type classification with risk estimate of 0.412 (std error 0.31) and 0.478 (std error 0.52) for training and validation respectively. Maxent modeling showed impressive predictive performance of all forest types (STPF, MTF and DTF) along ecological gradient with average AUC values of 0.968, 0.918, and 0.940 respectively and climatic variables have highest gain compared to topographic and soil predictors. Present study suggests that mapping of forest types through machine learning algorithms may be improved by incorporating other explanatory variables such microclimate, soil types, nutrients, anthropogenic, demographic factors and spectral indices.&#xD;
Berreman-assisted optical characterization of sub-percolation threshold, ultrathin near-zero-index films
Authors: Herman Luke A , Hu Jie , Liu Zhaowei 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Due to its transparent and conductive nature, indium tin oxide (ITO) offers substantial benefits in several industries, such as thin film transistors, displays, and nanophotonics. Previous studies on ultrathin ITO have so far focused on its electrical properties but have neglected the technologically important epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) optical features due to the difficulty of extracting the refractive index and the thickness-dependent degradation of the optical properties. Here, we demonstrate a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS)-compatible deposition procedure for sub-percolation thickness (below 4 nm) ITO using a dry-etch assisted radiofrequency magnetron sputtering technique that yields continuous films in a precisely controlled manner. Through interface engineering and post-deposition annealing optimization, we show that these ITO films can retain high carrier mobility (43 cm2V−1 s−1) while achieving a tunable near-zero-index (NZI) regime throughout the telecommunications band using a Berreman-assisted optical characterization technique. Our result opens the possibility of efficiently designing ENZ/NZI materials at the nanoscale using a robust fabrication approach for applications in nanophotonics.
The Ecology and Evolution of Invasive Populations
Authors: Phillips Ben 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Why do populations spread through space, and how do they change as they do so? In answering these questions, this book shows that phenomena as diverse as tumour growth and the spread of invasive species are all manifestations of the same process. As such, there are ecological and evolutionary principles in common across all these systems. This book develops both the history of, and recent advances in, our understanding of invasive populations, using a combination of empirical examples and accessible theory. It shows that populations evolve as they spread, in both predictable and unpredictable ways. The book finishes with new ideas for the management of invasive populations.
Perpetual Children
Authors: Briggs Jonathyne 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Perpetual Children is a narrative history of debates over the definition and appropriate treatment of autism in France since 1950, noting the French divergence from psychological norms in the rest of the world. Examining the works of psychoanalysts, the activities of parents’ associations, and the efforts of autistic self-advocates, Perpetual Children argues that the consistent framing of autism as a form of childhood psychosis marginalized autistic persons and emphasized the voices of parents and professionals. This framing also justified the continued use of psychoanalysis as an intervention because of the placement of autism within the family dynamic. Even as research in the United States pointed to biological and neurological conceptions of autism, the French continued to support a psychogenic origin for the disorder, impacting state policy and medical norms for decades. This position energized conflict between professionals and parents concerning expertise, leading to political and legal changes at the end of the twentieth century. By the twenty-first century, the French autistic population entered the debate to transform its parameters and assert their own position as experts on autism, reconceiving the disorder outside childhood to a limited degree. Perpetual Children reveals the international dimension of the story of autism and how the French context provides a different perspective on its history.
The Psychoanalytic State
Authors: Briggs Jonathyne 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter focuses on the impact of the antipsychiatry movement following the events of 1968, the continued ascendance of psychoanalysis as part of French intellectual life, and its impact on the actions of parents’ associations. During this period, new types of institutions developed that took increasingly experimental approaches to treatment, and ideas concerning the origins of autism were reinforced in a manner that challenged parents’ participation in therapy. The French interpretation of autism as a psychological disorder was solidified, even as parents learned of new ideas and approaches developed outside France. Associations sought increased interventions from the French state to protect the rights of their children, but the state delegated these questions to the professionals. The growing French divergence led to the paradox of removal from the home as a form of treatment, just as many social critics were questioning the need to house disabled children in the 1970s.
International Law as a (Queer) Governance Mechanism
Authors: Biddolph Caitlin 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter introduces international law as a (queer) governance mechanism. Conceptualized as such, it recognizes the gendered and gendering, discursive and agential, and violent and violating capacities of international law as a mechanism that governs people and populations. The chapter argues that attending to international law as (potentially) queer does not erase the violence of international law in its delineation of lawfulness and criminality according to gendered, sexual, and racial signifiers. Instead, it suggests that engaging queer perspectives to governance and international law allows for both possibilities, of law’s violent and queer potential. The chapter charts this argument through the case of the International Criminal Tribunal of the former Yugoslavia (ICTY). It draws on existing feminist, postcolonial, and queer approaches to international law and international relations to develop the conceptual foundations of the book, and to situate the book’s contribution within this scholarship.
Myths and facts about alcohol use disorder: a Delphi consensus study
Authors: Hytner Sophie , Josselin Daphne , Belin David , Bowden Jones Owen 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Educational interventions that counter myths about alcohol use disorder with facts have the potential to reduce public stigma. Few such interventions have hitherto been rigorously developed. Using a Delphi expert consensus method, this study identified myths and facts to include in an intervention targeting the public stigma of alcohol use disorder. Sixteen UK-based experts (four academics, five clinicians and seven experts-by-experience) completed three sequential online survey rounds. The first round was used alongside a systematic review of the literature on public alcohol use disorder stereotypes to develop 13 myth-fact pairs, which participants quantitively scored in subsequent rounds to determine their importance for inclusion. Pairs reaching consensus (&gt;70% agreement) on high importance (mean score, 7–9) challenged beliefs that alcohol use disorder ‘only affects certain groups’, and that people with alcohol use disorder ‘cannot recover’, are ‘to blame’ for, and ‘able to control’, their drinking. The myth-fact pairs scored as most important relate to responsibility- and recovery-based themes and provide a basis for future educational interventions for public alcohol use disorder stigma.
Eight-membered-ring-forming chain-growth cyclopolymerization of 2,2′-diisocyano-1,1′-binaphthalenes for the synthesis of helical poly([1,4]diazocine-2,3-diyl)s
Authors: Yoshinaga Yukako , Nishimaru Ryo , Suginome Michinori 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Novel helical macromolecules, poly([1,4]diazocine-2,3-diyl)s (PDACs), are synthesized by living cyclopolymerization of 2,2′-diisocyano-1,1′-binaphthalenes in the presence of organonickel or organopalladium complexes as initiators. The conformation of the main PDAC chain obtained from (R)-monomer is deduced from experimental results as (M)-helix and depends on the optical purity of the monomer.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Pulsed laser deposition with the fourth harmonic wave of Nd-doped Y3Al5O12 laser was applied to thin film epitaxy of a ferromagnetic semiconductor EuO which contains metastable Eu2+ ions. Highly crystalline, flat, and stoichiometric EuO (001) epitaxial thin films were successfully grown on YAlO3 (110) single crystal substrates. The EuO film exhibited ferromagnetism reflecting the 4f electronic configuration of Eu2+. These results indicate that Nd-doped Y3Al5O12 laser is useful for deposition of oxide thin films requiring oxygen stoichiometry.
Mechanical exfoliation of non-van der Waals solids: a study of layered perovskite ferroelectric CsPb2Nb3O10

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Mechanical exfoliation of layered materials is one of the most effective methods for obtaining 2D nanosheets. However, this approach is still limited to van der Waals (vdW) layered materials, where interlayer interactions are governed by weak vdW forces. In this study, we used a layered perovskite ferroelectric (CsPb2Nb3O10) as a model system to explore the mechanical exfoliation behavior of ionically bonded non-vdW layered materials. Due to the relatively weak out-of-plane bonds involving the interlayer Cs⁺ ions, CsPb2Nb3O10 could be cleaved into ultrathin sheets with thicknesses ranging from 7.5 to 50 nm. Using piezoresponse force microscopy, we investigated the thickness-dependent ferroelectric properties of CsPb2Nb3O10 nanosheets.

Abstract
Dibenzoylmethanatoboron difluoride complexes (BF2DBM) exhibit aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties by introducing a methyl group at the α-position of the dioxaboroline ring. In this study, we synthesized α-substituted BF2DBM derivatives with alkyl groups and evaluated their photophysical and AIE properties as a function of water fraction (fw) in water/acetone mixtures. The aggregation behavior of the BF2DBMs differed depending on fw, although they exhibited AIE independently of the alkyl groups. The fw dependence suggested that the alkyl groups exhibit hierarchical aggregation behavior, indicating that the alkyl groups affect the intermolecular stacking pattern based on the X-ray crystallography, leading to the difference in the fluorescence properties of the crystals.

Abstract

Background
Efficient and cost-effective testing strategies are needed to reduce HIV transmission. The aim of this study was to compare the costs of using the current CDC 3-step HIV algorithm - antigen/antibody screening, differentiation immunoassay (Geenius) and NAT against an alternative algorithm using a cobas® HIV-1/HIV-2 qualitative NAT.

Methods
A one-year cost calculator was developed from a US payer perspective using a decision-tree approach to simulate testing in a population of 1 million individuals. An estimated 2.44% of individuals were tested for HIV with an antigen/antibody immunoassay test, of which 0.72% were reactive. Based on real-world evidence, it was estimated that 8.78% and 1.95% of those tested with Geenius and cobas, respectively, were retested after indeterminate/invalid results. HIV-1/HIV-2 prevalence was applied along with test performance and retest rates to estimate the total number of tests required and the overall costs per algorithm.

Results
Among 175 patients, overall payer costs with the current and alternative algorithm were $5,299.37 and $6,870.24 respectively, yielding $8.95 additional cost per patient. The total number of tests performed decreased by 21.29% using the alternative algorithm (191.8 vs 243.7). The total number of retests were 20.7 and 4.5 with the current and alternative algorithm, respectively.

Conclusion
The study demonstrates a significant reduction in the number of cumulative tests needed to diagnose HIV accurately while remaining cost neutral to payers using the alternative algorithm. These findings suggest that the proposed alternative algorithm can streamline HIV testing, without a substantial increase in healthcare costs and minimize adverse patient outcomes.
Translating PK-PD Principles Into Improved Methodology for Clinical Trials That Compare Intermittent With Prolonged Infusion of Beta-Lactam Antibiotics

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Based on the fact that beta-lactam antibiotics demonstrate time-dependent killing, different dosing strategies have been implemented to increase the time that free (unbound) antibiotic concentrations remain above the minimal inhibitory concentration, including prolonged and continuous infusion. Multiple studies have been performed that compared continuous with traditional intermittent infusion to improve outcomes in patients with severe sepsis. These studies have yielded inconsistent results for patients, as measured by clinical response to treatment and mortality due to heterogeneity of included patients, pathogens, dosing strategies, and the absence of therapeutic drug monitoring. The Continuous Infusion versus Intermittent Administration of Meropenem in Critically Ill Patients and Beta-Lactam Infusion Group trials failed to show a difference in mortality between patients randomized to receive continuous or intermittent infusion of beta-lactam antibiotics deeper understanding of the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic mechanisms that occur in critically ill patients should guide us in dose optimization and improvement in methodology for future clinical trials.
Bridging practice and research: differentiating quality improvement, quality assurance, and quality improvement research in a learning health system
Authors: Wynne Rochelle , Omarit Reem , Crowe Shane 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Evidence-based practice integrates research into clinical care to enhance patient outcomes, yet gaps persist in translating evidence into practice. Learning health systems (LHSs) address these gaps by embedding knowledge generation within healthcare delivery. These systems use healthcare information to improve clinical practice and the value, quality, and efficiency of the systems providing healthcare services. In this paper, the distinctions between quality improvement (QI), quality assurance, and QI research in LHS are described, and the importance of nurse-led initiatives to foster research-oriented culture in LHS is emphasized. In understanding these methodologies, nurses can drive the translation and evaluation of evidence for practice improvement, advance healthcare quality, and overcome traditional barriers to LHS evidence uptake and evaluation.
